We are talking about mail-in ballots here.
You don’t present ANY ID with a mail-in ballot.
“We are talking about mail-in ballots here.”
Whoops!
The situation is even clearer. Present yourself to pick up an absentee vote, with RealID. Or early voting in person with RealID if not available on voting day.
And perhaps Institute the military form of absentee voting where the votes are only counted when there is a close election.
Of course that didn’t work in Gore/Bush Florida because a multitude of those mailbags of military absentee votes mysteriously disappeared and have never been found.
Accountable mail-in ballots is by all accounts a bridge too far as far as full accountability is concerned. In so much as possible an honest, secure effort should be made by both the government and the voter. If that is not possible, it’s just not possible. And that small sliver of the pie would just have to be absorbed, not mathematically figured in to the totals.
