So, we don’t know for sure if there is a problem at all. But we absolutely should stop people from voting safely in a pandemic in case there is a problem?
What about every other method of voting? Do we know voting machines used across the country are safe? Why the sudden concern now?
- Alupis 6y agoThis measure will last far longer than the pandemic. We can be arguing two different things: 1) Signatures are not a good proof of identity 2) We should require government ID for proof of identity > Why the sudden concern now? It's not. This has been a debate for at least a decade if not more.
- untog 6y agoYou still haven’t answered how government IDs would be checked as part of mail in voting. If they can’t be then you’re forcing people to risk their health in order to vote in person. > This has been a debate for at least a decade if not more And in that time there has been zero evidence of voter fraud at any kind of scale that would effect the outcome of an election.
- Alupis 6y agoDo you risk your health going to the grocery store? How is it any different? These measures will far outlast the coronavirus. Why check signatures even? If there's no level of voter fraud to be concerned with, why throw out tens of thousands of ballots because the signature didn't match? Was that all voter fraud, or just an incompetent system?
