The primary reason why the GOP is against vote by mail, is that it will prevent them their voter suppression efforts.
DEMOCRATS = VOTER FRAUD CRIMINALS..."
"""Democratic City SLAMMED By Mail in Voter Fraud Charges, Experts Scared This Proves Trump RIGHT. Paterson NJ's mail in voter fraud scandal continues as 4 people have been charged with fraud.
A city councilman and councilman elect have both been charged as others in the city demand the entire election be canceled after more than twenty percent of the vote was disqualified under suspicious circumstances
Experts have pointed out this is a "textbook" case of voter fraud and are worried that it will be used by Trump. Funny because it actually just proves Trump was right about voter fraud.
Democrats need big voter turnout and perhaps think mail in voting will help but changing the rules at the 11th hour seems unfair and ill planned. In the end it may just help Trump and the republicans.

Vote by mail has already resulted in bad behavior. NAACP is against it because of recently proven fraud.
Want to vote in america? Show your photo identification. And your voter registration card.
Why should anyone refuse to be identified when they want to decide who gets elected?
There is no excuse for not having a photo ID. This is 2020. Anyone who claims they cannot get a photo ID is just too stupid to be allowed to vote.
Anyone who defends those who refuse to identify themselves, is guilty of the bigotry of low expectations.
I've read about this. The primary problem was they outsourced ballots to third parties th thad a biasede interest.
However, it should be pointed out that the fraud was very easily discovered in the one city where this took place. Why because mail in voting leaves a papper trail that can be easily checked. Unlike touch screen voting, which has noi way to verify votes and are easily hacked.
If you look at Washington and Oregon which have used vote by mail for the longest time,
Alaska and Colorado have only started vote by mail a few years ago, when fraud was attempted, the people were easily discovered and caught.
The people behind the fraud in your post were easily discovered an caught. That is a good system when those who try to commit fraud are so easily discovered and caught.
Voter ID laws are more to suppress the vote, than they are to limit fraud. For instance the voter ID law in South Dakota required a street address on the I.D. Hoever the native Americans dont' have street addresses on the reservations, and use Post Office Boxes to get mai. So, they in effect prevented mos Native Americans in that state from voting.
If you go state by state and look at the voter I.D. laws you will find a tweak d3esigned to prevent some groups from voting is almost every case.
Vote by mail would get rid of gerrymandering & "oops, closed" polling places INSTANTLY. that would be too bad, so sad for Repugs.......
Sorry--isn't this illegal? Can't the public sue them?
Theoretically, yes. However, Barr, Trump's attorney general isn't all that ethical or law abiding. And, by the time any court action is settled the elections are long over.
