I know the claim in the second message, it's bullshit, but my brain isn't working today. I don't normally get this kind of answer when I challenge the voter fraud claims.

It is beyond easy to file for and submit a vote ballot for countless thousands of fraud voters..... especially with NO ID and especially with NO signature check.
Even WITH a so- called signature check...... who is an expert in detecting forgeries!?? Certainly not the amateur poll workers on Election Day.

What "countless fraud voters"?

Unless a voter shows up in person with ID, unless there is proof of who exactly submitted a mail in ballot.... its just conjecture as to who actually filled out that mail-in ballot.
As Ive said before, there are five eligible voters in my house. I couldve filled out all five of those mail- in ballots.... and no one wouldve ever known.
Many states allow instant applications for a voter ballot...... whereby you can simply put that ballot into an unsecured drop-box minutes later without ever providing proof to anyone as to your exact identification.
This entire 2020 election was a fraud in motion.

(36,457 posts)This is my one argument against mail-in ballots, that a household bully could hoard the ballots & vote them.

HF shows pathetically low fraud. Some cases filed multiple times, a lot of human error presented as fraud.
In the few fraud cases, you find small time politicians pulling stunts and getting caught. Often republican. Also some GOTV fake registrations by poor people paid to register people to vote, but faking the signatures.
Oregon is a good case for the ID argument. We've had vote-by-mail since 1998. But hardly any fake ID cases. Very low fraud numbers.

(914 posts)I normally start with the obvious falsehoods.
There is proof of who submitted the mail in ballot. ID had to have been shown at some point in order for them to have received their ballot. That is an accurate statement for every state. Signatures are verified on every ballot.
The drop boxes are secured. The least secure part about drop boxes are the fact that Republicans want them disrupted and limited.
Next I would state that they didn't answer your question of "What countless fraud voters." They literally didn't answer it in any way whatsoever. They literally deflected and presented a fallacy, an unethical debating tactic meant to put you on your heels.
"I couldve filled out all five of those mail- in ballots.... and no one wouldve ever known." That's voter fraud and to state that "no one would've ever known" is absolute malarkey. There are numerous steps in place to catch such fraud.
Then I would follow it up by asking them why they hate the military so much and want so many of their votes invalidated.
Fact: ID had to have been shown at some point in order to get a mail in ballot. It must match the address. The signature must match.
