Voting by mail:
"The vital thing about in-person voting is that the process increases trust at every step of the way, particularly when photo ID is required.
Here’s how it used to work at Insanity Wrap’s little precinct before Colorado outlawed in-person voting (because Democrats).
Poll workers come from both major parties, helping ensure that they’re keeping an eye on each other.
You show up and present your ID to one of the poll workers, who compares it to their voter roll and against your actual face. (This increases trust in both directions.)
Only then do you receive a ballot, which you take to a booth to fill out in private.
If you need help, help is provided to you — in public, where everyone can see.
You then personally slip your ballot into an electronic counting machine, give a wave to the nice poll workers, and leave.
This process engenders trust, that each person received just one ballot, and that ballot was properly marked and counted. Poll workers increase trust further, not just by keeping an eye on one another, but by making sure each person receiving a ballot was legally entitled to receive one.
Insanity Wrap understands that no human system is perfect, and every system is subject to mistakes and abuse. Nevertheless, the steps described here engender the minimum amount of trust required for rational people to have faith in both the process and the result.
An election without trust is barely worth holding — if that.
Insanity Wrap finds none of these virtues in mail-in balloting.
Mail-in ballots get sent out according to a process invisible to the voters.
Yes, you received a ballot with your name and address on it, but did someone else at your old house or apartment receive one with your name on it, too? If so, what happened to it?
Who “helps” older or infirm people fill out their ballots in private?
Were extra ballots printed? If so, what happened to them?
What happens to your ballot after you drop it, as yet uncounted, into a USPS box?
Where does the counting take place, and by whom?
The postal workers union just endorsed Joe Biden — can it be trusted?
If you don’t know — if you can’t know — the answers to any of these questions, then how much do you trust the process?
Insanity Wrap believes the move to mail-in voting isn’t so much about stealing elections. Democrats have always proven willing (and oftentimes able) to come up with enough mystery ballots to win a close contest.
Instead, mail-in voting is about reducing the level of trust the public has for the result of any and every election.
When trust in free elections is reduced low enough, the people will be ready for something…
…else.
What that “else” is, Insanity Wrap would rather not know."
