Is the state checking citizenship when it's mailing the ballot back to the claimed resident?

How does it do that without ID?

I've never been in a car accident, but I still have insurance and put on a seatbelt. Precautions, ya know?

By your election logic, I've been good for 20+ years and shouldn't need either of those

It's like driving on an icy road - it's all good until it isnt

I'm asking why you don't want to protect your system and all you have to offer is "well it's worked gud for 20+ years!"

You sound like a conservative

Is it?

Because we've all seen how fraudulent people can be right?

This is minor, but take a video game for example - even with nothing to gain, lots of systems have to be put in place because people go out of their way to game the systems and cheat.

Why would something with actual consequences be any different? Why wouldn't you have even the simplest system in the way of that?

There's still the open version of fact checking: community notes

What are the facts about this? That it doesn't happen...that often?

There's no real time enforcement for it to mean anything. The votes are tallied in real time, and a winner is announced, then months to years later people (who are caught) are prosecuted?

Can someone point out why mail in voting with no ID is a good thing? I'm genuinely curious

The L that the feds deserve! Amazing. My faith in our systems has almost been restored

Let's see how the inevitable tax payer funded appeal goes

The comments from when that happened a few years ago? Is that was you're referring to?

Because I'm referring to most of the commenters in this thread having a big 'ol hate circ jerk.

In my head, being on the left used to mean compassion and tolerance, but it's clearly the same spitefulness as the right. I'm beginning it think this is just how tribalism in general works, doesn't matter what team you're on

They're all back online now. I mean I dislike the ultra wealthy as much as the next guy but y'all got hate boners
