6. I have NEVER understood the "mail-in ballots are more secure" talking point.

No they're not, and they never will be. Even aside from any rat-fuckery that might happen in R-controlled voting districts, the fact that it has to travel to the precinct out of your hands increases the level of rat-fuckery that can happen. Remember the stories about postal workers losing thousands of ballots, or ballots being discovered in dumpsters? I get that mail-in voting is much more convenient, eliminates the fear some may have of standing in lines while militia fuckers are out there calling the cops on anyone who gives a person in line a bottle of water, and is a literal life-saver for disabled folk, but really... Democratic voters and leadership have been too damn trusting.
