The Democrats are obviously committed to using the COVID-19 pandemic as the latest pretext for achieving their longtime goal of widespread voting by mail. They may, however, end up outsmarting themselves. The Democrats are so invested in their revisionist history concerning Bush v. Gore that they have forgotten why SCOTUS actually stopped the Florida recounts on December 12, 2000. That was the “safe harbor” date after which the state’s electors may not have been counted. Federal law requires that states must resolve post-election disputes (e.g. recounts) within thirty-five days after Election Day or risk disfranchising their voters. In 2000, that would have changed the outcome of the presidential election.

With our current SCOTUS, I’m not breathing easy about November 3. Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsberg, Roberts, and Breyer are pretty much nested in the Democrat camp.

At least some of the Democrats may be doing this on purpose so as to claim that Trump's second term is illegitimate. It would not surprise me if some of those running the Democratic Party expect Trump to win and are pushing this plan so as to explain their loss.

Anyone that thinks allowing Democrats to create and count ballots will favors Trump is exceedingly naive, and totally ignorant of history. The Democrats have always had, and now have, an agreement with the mob to provide whatever votes they need, and in return, the Democrats never pursue the mob, which is why the Democrats are for open borders, allowing the the drug trade to become one of our biggest industries. The only time the Democrats violated the non-pursuit of the mob was when Kennedy was president, and his brother AG. Both were assassinated, and the the Democrats got the message.

Did the author even discuss the risk of voter fraud with mail in ballots? I didn't see it. Which party is the most proficient in voter fraud?

I'm not confident that there sufficient procedures in place to prevent voters from mailing in a ballot AND also voting in person, especially in the states that count mail-in ballots that are delivered after November 3. I understand California is allowing mail-in votes to arrive 17 days after November 3. How many of those voters will have also voted in person?

The Florida election in 2000? Why does Catron think it would have gone to Gore if they had more time? Because they were cheating? (I.e., denying counting the absentee ballots from the military.) Because they were manufacturing fake ballots? Which they were doing. But, good for the law!
#3, it wasn't the mob that killed both Kennedys. They were perfectly happy with their influence on JFK, who was having an (not so secret) affair with one of their molls. How better to gain a foothold on a politician? Especially a President? One who could easily influence his brother?

The difference between 2000 and 2020 is that the Democrats control the House. This election is going to be decided by the House come hell or high water.

What is being highlighted is the need for every Republican to ensure they DO mail-in their ballot, if that's how it's sent to them. Don't ignore it, or think you'll wait for the polling place to open.
Mail fraud is a real thing, and is a Federal crime, which I doubt many who may not be eligible to vote will want to jeopardize any chance of that pathway to citizenship.
Also, wondering how the Dems will use that ballot harvesting technique in CA when people aren't supposed to go outside, or it was too dangerous to vote in-person?
With the colleges shutdown, it won't be as easy for them to stuff the ballot boxes on campus either.

The GOP doesn't need to cheat Catron, but the democrat party is the mother ship of the subject. I would agree with others that the groundwork is indeed being laid right now to damage Trump if and when he gets a second term. They are going to owe him two more terms after this by my reckoning, that is how much they have stolen from him and the nation that elected him in the first place.
Pushing for vote by mail is ripe for democrats to cheat their way in, then deny, deny, and more denials that they cheated during the election.

The fraud occurs in the MIDST of VOTE BY MAIL schemes, or even ABSENTEE VOTE systems.
The objective of the cheater is NOT to slip phony votes into the system but to simply disqualify a legitimate ballot.
In all these systems if the ABSENTEE or MAILED IN VOTE arives FIRST, it is checked in and the voter's name on the voting list being used for the current election is checked off.
That's done in almost all cases. Once a voter is checked off as having voted any later arriving ballot is considered spurious, or provisional, and is not counted.
You could make up a properly prepared envelope, stuff a couple of sheets of paper in it, and drop it off at the Election Office's ballot locations and bingo, bango, bongo the person whose name you used would be checked off as having voted!
Now how much do you think it costs to make up proper envelopes that will deceive the clerical personnel at the Elections office... ? 25 cents? $1.00 ~ less, more? Oh, and be within the rules.
That's how you do it just to disqualify a voter. It's usually pretty easy to tell who is a Republican or Democrat voter ..... so, if you are cheating for the Democrats you might want to fill out a ballot for that Republican that instead votes for Republicans?
Or, let's say there's a question to be voted on like "Should Casino Gambling be allowed in Plaquimodes County" ~ I'm sure you could find some gaming interest to finance an even more elaborate series of forged ballots!
What happens with the election is going to be the deletion of honest votes by real people, or the entry of forged ballots into the pile that are counted.
They are doing that in Fairfax County Virginia this very day. It's a variation ~ you get a form through the mail with a return envelope. Looks like if you fill out the form they'll give it to the county Board of Elections and they will send you an absentee ballot.
Except the address on the postage paid envelope is actually that of the Fairfax City Treasurer's office, NOT the Fairfax County Board of Elections!
There are over 200,000 Republican voters in this county. If they all accepted the officer, their applications for absentee ballots would be tossed in the dumpster, and come election day they'd be sitting there with no absentee ballot yet, and if they ran off down to the local precinct election hall, no doubt the records would show they'd already been checked off.
I said earlier I could do the whole State of California sufficiently to win every election for the Republicans for a mere $350,000. These guys are probably doing this for about $80,000 ~ and the deception will work.
