Who here apparently has forgotten that?
Sorry about the unclear preposition.  In parts of the USA, sad to say.

I was setting that in comparison to New Zealand not remembering WWII.

Nope and I have not seen how Trump is attacking the USPS either

I think we all know what’s up.
Yeah, someone is trying to preset the populace to claim the election is rigged when he loses.

Come on.  You really don’t think mail in is a good idea?  It’s just not a credible view.

How is mail-in different from absentee balloting, other than in order of magnitude?

so what is your point
That the POTUS is not opposed to mail-in voting in principle and that his opposition--when stated--is all about political posturing and not at all about voting security.

One has to be requested by the voter, checked and identified 

The other is en masse- with little to no control and the order of magnitude is way beyond what could reasonably be handled.

Screw POTUS.  Mail in will be a nightmare.  True regardless of who is running.

I wonder if this will become routine, the losing side, whichever, claims it was rigged.

I've been permanent vote-by-mail voter since 2014, because I found myself in two consecutive Presidential elections (2008/2012) unable to vote because I was out of the state / out of the country on business travel. I don't think anything about it is inherently fraudulent.

I think it might distort things in states where it is mandated that every voter is sent a mail-in ballot. But even then I doubt there will be much "fraud"; rather what might happen is voter turnout in those states will significantly spike because the inherent time cost of voting will be lessened.

Thank you.  That is about where I am at.  Absentee ballots have a track record.

we have the ability to create safe polling places and add more if needs, and leave them open longer or open them days early if need be
