Here is a study on states based on how easy or hard it is to vote.

This is not a left v. right dichotomy, policies widely vary on all sorts of factors.  For example, is there early voting, is it easy to vote by mail, is voter registration automatic, etc. etc.  We know there are examples of legislatures intentionally trying to prevent poeple from voting.  For example, in North Carolina they came up with a voter ID scheme where they studied what kinds of ID's white and black voters might use and then disqualified the ones black people use more.  That was illegal and was overturned, but in my view, any restriction which makes it more difficult to vote and isn't justified by something pretty substantial is an unacceptable restriction on voting.  Corruption is often the reason - instead of valuing the people, the people in charge value being in charge. 

your requesting proof that vote by mail is highly subject to fraud

is like asking for proof that blind pilots are highly subject to crashing

there is no proof because blind pilots dont fly planes 

we need to use common sense sometimes and vote by mail is one of those times

now if there was a way to do vote by mail like absentee voting I would feel differently

we need to use common sense sometimes 

Could we use it often?

We can do vote by mail like absentee voting.  That's certainly one option.  My preference would be a much more integrated vote.  We use government resources for various things - getting a driver's license, registering for selective service, using the post office - all of these should be integrated so that being able to vote becomes much easier and much more secure. 

All citizens should be registered to vote and would have to opt out.  And election day should be a federal holiday. 

More people voting = good for everyone, right?  Right?  RIGHT?

I like this. I say yes.  

One of the many regrettable side effects of the pretend "right v. left" has been the sacrifice of the idea that voting is a great thing and people should do be able to do it.  Now it's all "what politicians does this benefit" instead of what is good for the country.  It's so easy to get swept up in that crap.

Sad but true.

I agree with this in theory.

but just like having folks vote for expanding the college football playoff to 6 teams by folks that have no interest  in college football, it's not good if folks have no knowledge of what they are voting for or against  

Saying something is fraught without telling what it is fraught with makes me fraught with anger.
