"Vote by mail might sound good, until you look at the data. The federal election assistance commission keeps tabs. Their data show that 28 million ballots mailed since 2012 simply vanished. They were sent out, but never came back and were counted. Some say they are in landfills, others figure they are in file cabinets. The truth is, we do not know. All we know is that the mail ballots never accomplished what they were intended to accomplish.

It gets worse. Hundreds of thousands came back but had defects that prevented them from being counted. The voters who sent these ballots probably do not even know that their ballot was not counted after they sent it back.

Mail voting also destroys the transparency of our elections. Observers from each side are unable to watch the process. Mail ballots are uniquely vulnerable to fraud because they are voted behind closed doors where third parties regularly attempt to influence the process. Senior citizens already enjoy rights to request an absentee ballot in every state.

It surprises people to learn that in the middle of an Ebola epidemic in 2014, Liberia conducted an in-person national election. Ebola had a fatality rate of 46%, yet people still came into polling places and voted in person. The solutions were simple -- sanitization protocols, distancing, disinfectant on surfaces.

We were required to wear a mask, social distance, and the booth was disinfected after each voter.

Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where people are so spoiled by convenience that it takes something like mail in ballots to get them to do something. If it is to much trouble to do, some won't. Example look at all the drive in windows and how many are in line to get a cup of coffee.

Help me help me!!!
I seem to remember an article that explained how Garcia won his seat in California. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of and googled but can’t find!!! The key point of the article was that the repubs out harvested the Dems so that’s how he won.
