And that's okay, we should be open-minded. Why haven't we had mail-in ballots for the last 230 years? Maybe the reason is, mail-in ballots are an invitation to widespread fraud and manipulation and if you want to rattle people's faith in the system that we've had for centuries, maybe you would do that. I don't know.
