Which is why we don't do vote by mail ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I love how when a scheme like this fails people like you act like it succeeded in your rhetoric. Very silly billy ain't ya

At the cost of voter anonymity, which shows exactly what is wrong with voting by mail. It's impossible to prevent fraud while preserving anonymity. Not silly billy at all.

Why?

Safeguards preventing fraud worked here. Your comment doesn’t make sense in relation to the story you filed it under

They prevented fraud at the cost of voter anonymity, this is exactly what is wrong with voting by mail. You cannot protect both.

One success at thwarting fraud doesn't mean that all attempts are thwarted though, it only proves that fraud is happening. That's the problem.

No instances of being thwarted doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Just means it’s successful
