Define vote by mail. I think I'm getting tripped up by semantics.
In my state (AZ) you can't get a mail-in ballot without previous ID checks in combination with voter registration. They even check ID's if you fill out your ballot if you choose to drop-off instead of mailing it in prior. How is it done elsewhere?
It's the provisional ballots which seem to cause the most problem in close races - and those are far more open to ballot harvesting schemes (I don't expect a close race - so that's slightly less a worry). There was some weird shit with one of our senate races in 2018 - but both candidates ended up being senators anyway so I haven't given it much thought since.
While anyone's at-it - I'm still foggy on the how ballot harvesting even works. Does it vary state-to-state? Seems Orange County CA was prone to it plus some other state I can't recall off the top of my head. Does it work outside of close races? Because - honestly - I think this election may prove bigger than Reagan's blowout of 1984 (seriously - I think we may even pick up Minnesota).
