Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) sounded the alarm over vote-by-mail and the danger it poses to election integrity during a Friday appearance on SiriusXMs Breitbart News Daily.
Patrick drew a distinction between voting absentee, as has been done for years, and using coronavirus as an excuse to push voting through the mail as the preferred method to casting a ballot in person.
In my view, the only way Trump loses in November, is if you have a proliferation of voting by mail in state after state, particularly the swing states, Patrick said in a clip played during the show, adding that Trumps campaign team is on top of it.

They’ve been stealing elections all around the country since the 1960’s..thats how we got into this mess.
Americans aren’t that foolish ...we are naive in assuming everyone “plays by the rules”
I’ve heard the State Auditor say in an interview that they cannot check for citizenship in a voter, use mail to determine eligibility, and that the voter rolls show no sign that non eligible people vote. If you don’t try to check even though it is your job, you have no right to say nonsense.

I get the concern. So why
a) Does President Trump tout his VBM results in Texas
b) The Republican in WI7 won his race largely by VBM
c) NJ just arrested 10, disqualified 19,000 ballots, and I think this was VBM fraud? That’s a blue state.

President Trump issues an E.O. requiring Voter ID for Federal Elections.
Post an armed, National Guard member in full gear at every polling place in the US and have an ICE Agent on call. Protection of all voters is assured.
Issuing such an E.O. like this would cause Dems to judge shop and impose an injunction, but President Trump would ram it straight up the USSC.
Once there, the USSC would have to try to reconcile how entry to the USSC requires a Federal ID as does does entrance to every other Federal Building.
It might actually be law right now (I am not a lawyer), but have President Trump declare that all polling places involved in Federal elections are surrogate Federal facilities, because they are handling Federal documentation for a Federal election.
An official government issued ID will be required to enter the surrogate Federal facility for the time that ballots remain at the polling location. The ballots are remanded to Federal custody, and ferried to a Federally secured location accompanied by the National Guard member already stationed at the polling place. Since the USSC building and Federal polling places are each deemed to be Federal facilities under the protection and control of routine Federal facility access practices, there would be a seamless solution to which USSC could not object either conceptually and legally.
Federal Property Law and Legal Definition
"20 USCS § 107e defines "federal property" as any building, land, or other real property owned, leased, or occupied by any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States (including the Department of Defense and the United States Postal Service), or any other instrumentality wholly owned by the United States, or by any department or agency of the District of Columbia or any territory or possession of the United States."
Theory: Could polling places used in Federal Elections be considered to be "occupied" by "department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States," such as the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, for instance? This division is vested with assuring that the voting rights of citizens are upheld, and it is the division to which voting right civil rights complaints may be filed. In essence the DOJ would supervise a Federal election as it deputizes the polling place for temporarily housing a division of local Civil Rights Division units of the DOJ.
