I've been voting by mail in Colorado for at least three years of memory, and I've seen zero reports of any systemic issues. Utah and Oregon are the same from what I know. Both Germany and Switzerland have mail voting, and there isn't any strong statistical data showing an abundance of voter fraud. However, this doesn't stop my rural farming parents from screaming about rampant voter fraud and "The Dumb-o-crats" trying to take advantage of the system. Yes, they also live in Colorado and vote by mail. The propaganda works, even on decent people. We have a HUGE misinformation issue to solve in this country before any complex issue like our voting system can ever be talked about seriously. Those of us that put real work effort into being properly informed, know the real issue is turn-out and how voting by mail enables polling to have MUCH MUCH higher turn-out. This is a problem for one of those parties that have been able to hang onto power through less than ethical means of manipulation and reducing voter turn-out from population bases they look down their nose at. This isn't my opinion, its fact. It's strategically brilliant by them and their playbook is exceptionally effective. And THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. People like my folks are good, decent people. But they're intellectually lazy and are victims to the propaganda machine that runs across their televisions every day. If vetted information was presented in an easy-to-relate way, they would see what I see. But somehow Trump and the right have figured out a single childish label for complex societal issues chanted over and over again, mentally over-powers the thousands of hours living a life of the exact opposite. It's shocking how well the right has dialed in their messaging. My parents work in the trees and fields, under the hot sun, nearly every day in the summer next to the same people they'll later chant are ruining their "American Prosperity." They nearly bankrupted themselves, keeping these same workers paid during COVID, because they weren't going to let them go hungry or lose their homes. But they'll talk about the rampant welfare state and the need to gut it over dinner. Somehow, they don't relate what they see in politics with what they're living every day. It's like it's two different worlds for them, and I'm dumbfounded by how the propaganda has created that reality within them. Voting issues, welfare, and/or any single issue directive won't overpower this reality we live in now. We HAVE to solve this information issue first.
