The rate of mail-in voter fraud is low even though about half of US States allow individuals to vote by mail without providing any reason. Many of these states are Republican states. In Oregon, the first state to adopt a universal vote by mail system, there have only been 15 cases of voter fraud identified over 19 years. That is not a volume worth killing people for.

There is no reason for this to be controversial, however there is every reason that we should have a system which is able to handle a large volume of mail in voting ballots safely and securely. We are at more risk if we don't take steps to prepare. In 2016, almost a quarter of all ballots were cast through the mail and this will increase in 2020 without any changes to existing law. Again, there is simply no argument in favor of gimping the Postal Service to harm mail-in voting. All that accomplishes is making our voting systems less secure.

And again, we should not be asking people to weigh decisions about their health and the health of those around them in order to vote. Yes, other things carry risk sometimes (however we shouldn't really be comparing other nebulous risks to a virus which will likely have killed over 200k Americans by election day...), however, again, voting is the most fundamental right in a functioning democracy. We should seek to remove barriers to ensure that those who wish to vote are able to do so. Again, "don't put up hurdles for voting" shouldn't be a controversial statement.

As for your last statement, what is the purpose of even writing that if you aren't going to make an argument?

I said my point that the problem is them encouraging more people to do mail-in voting even with no compelling reason to do so. But it seems that you have made up your mind that there's nothing we can do to prevent getting infected while still functioning properly in our daily lives. I just don't like how frozen in fear we are with this pandemic.

Now with regards to your questions as to why I brought that up and don't want to make an argument, is because I find your statement ludicrous but don't want to argue. I'm free to disagree with that statement of yours. In all honesty, you keep replying to me to start an argument when I'm not really interested in playing your game.

We can all have different point of views here and I can respect that. However, I'll be honest as to why I'm sick of arguing in this thread. It sickens me that people were willing to justify Antifa and BLM's cause and bad behavior and at the same time label Trump as a fascist. That's severely unreasonable for me and I don't want any part of that.

I'll still engage in a light discussion. I believe I'm free to post here as long as it is on topic and as long as I am not breaking any rules.

Ah yes, I guess you never went to the grocery store, the convenient store, laundromat, postal office, ect. You just stayed home by yourself playing with your legos all day.

If we had a national event in which every registered voter is supposed to go to our local walmart on the same day I'd say a pandemic is probably not the best time for it and we should maximize ordering online. And that's a walmart with a massive amount of room to keep more people socially distant. Don't know if you've been to vote in the US but often there's quite a line and crowd depending on when exactly you go with notably less room than you r average grocery or convenience store. 

I personally will likely not be utilizing mail-in voting. My grandparents on the other hand haven't been going out. We have family delivering them groceries (leaving them outside the door) so they don't have to risk their health. One of the primary mail-in voting populations is the elderly, which makes the fact that the Republicans are suddenly waging a war against it all the more baffling.

Additional populations who tend to vote by mail include disabled individuals, who likely haven't been spending significant amounts of time in protests, and the military population, who also likely haven't been spending significant amounts of time at protests.
