The slight COVID risk of having everyone vote in person seems far less than the civil war risk of having lots of people vote by mail causing both tribes to think they won the election because harder to stop fraud, perhaps committed by foreign powers.

Yeah, but one side really wants to commit vote fraud - in fact they base a significant portion of their electoral strategy around the idea. If you'll ignore laws around looting and destruction of property in service of an imagined greater good, what's vote fraud in comparison?

Correct: Trump and the Republicans have called on their supporters to vote twice. So, in addition to *really* wanting to suppress voting, they *really* want to commit vote fraud.

Trump demonstrated what's called a "reductio ad abusurdum" If voting my mail is secure and doesn't allow double voting Then you should go to the polls after having voted by mail Because you will be stopped The left's reaction to the demonstration proves the first part false.

No, it doesn’t. It just means they don’t want a President who normalises and makes light of voting fraud. Nice try, though!

"How dare he make fun of our pious arguments that we are denying doing what we are plainly doing - that breaks norms!" There's no way you can argue what he said condones fraud unless you accept that voting by mail is an open invitation to fraud.

Sigh. Explicitly saying things like “vote twice” and “I want to serve a third term” undermines democracy. That’s why people are “complaining”. His supporters wouldn’t be able to commit fraud — as all the evidence shows — but norms should be upheld, not made light of. The end.

He demonstrated that the words and actions don't match up by showing that the left is fully aware that vote by mail is an invitation to fraud and you proved him right. As far as serving a third term - that's totally allowed by the constitution - living document.

You’re still not comprehending this, Mr Low-IQ. Presidents should not, under any circumstances, be saying “vote twice”. They could try to vote twice, and they’d fail, but it should not be attempted, it should not be advocated, it should not be “tabled”. Period.

Whoa, "low IQ"? IQ? Are you a racist?
