Although more deeply at odds than at any time since the Civil War, both sides of our fractious nation’s political divide seem to agree on this: the 2020 federal elections are the most consequential of our lifetimes. Voters are being asked to decide nothing less than whether they want to “fundamentally change” America, or to keep America fundamentally American.
If the franchise is so very precious, if voting is a “sacred” right, then government must do everything it can to protect the integrity of our elections. But government has been failing in that solemn duty. Yes, the states spend a bunch of money and go through the motions on voter registration, but they never go to the heart of the matter when establishing the identity of each voter.
The claim that there is no evidence of fraud in America’s elections needs much more scrutiny. The reason that some, like the “experts” at the Brennan Center, contend that there’s “no evidence” for widespread election fraud is because it’s a debate tactic, an attempt to put those who make the opposite claim in the position of having to disprove the experts’ claim. But two can play that game, for there is “no evidence” that election fraud does not occur, and that each ballot was freely cast by an eligible voter who voted only once. Why is evidence expected for one claim but not for its opposite?
We know that election fraud occurs because people have been convicted of it. So when apologists for the current systems say that there’s “no evidence” that such fraud is widespread, they should be required to put a number on it. But they can’t, because with our current election systems fraud can be undetectable.

Blockchain is the future, but it’ll never see the light of day. It would make cheating impossible.
We’re at a point (IMO, have been for 20 years or more) where one side does not care about integrity of elections, win at any cost.
Perhaps the R side of this coin is equally as corrupt, but I’m not seeing it. The press goes as far as to make up stories to castigate republicans/conservatives, and on the other side, ignores wrongdoing and covers for them.
So many ways to muddy the waters. It is the age of Chaos!
No!
Stupid virus was invented To make mail-in ballots happen so elections can be stolen. Why accept the premise? Premise is false.
I am a computer software engineer
I could EASILY design a secure voting system, so I am sure people smarter than me could have (and probably have) suggested it long ago.
That tells you everything you need- they don’t WANT a secure system, and it is always democrats against such measures.
If it is widely acknowledged, that mail in ballots would provide a platform for voter fraud, why can’t President Trump issue and Executive Order preventing the use of mail in ballots? That’s certainly what Obama would have done. Remember he had “a pen and a phone.”
Where possible people need to vote in person. I know some
states have changed their process but where possible go vote.
For the sake of appeals, the security envelope should remain with the ballot.
The ballots are secure sitting in that ditch
Making Mail-in Ballots ‘Secure’ as safe as loaded dice.
