In other words, everything's cool with mail-in balloting until there's a close, intensely fought race. Then it breeds huge, unnecessary paranoia. If works at conferring legitimacy except when we most need it to work. https://t.co/Rc3VzVujyH

Seems like there were issues with the heavily mail-in 2004 WA gov. race: "[A]s proof that ballots were misplaced or destroyed…they pointed to the fact that four of the six precincts in which the most mail-in votes cannot be accounted for backed Republican…Rossi." [Wikipedia] https://t.co/famnW6uy4x

Both seats were still winnable–certainly the one Perdue lost by 1%. If Trump had pitched in fully to rouse the base vote Dems wouldn't be running the Congress. Trump had a choice: Himself on one side vs. Party & Country on the other. He chose himself. F___ him. https://t.co/GYpF6qWCma

What I should have said: If it's so important that voters accept the legitimacy of elections, don't allow massive mail-in voting then. It's a breeding ground for paranoia (on the part of whichever side loses). https://t.co/OqBieQxzad

Example: Elite schools like Harvard are, as Green says,the sellers of entry into the oligarchy. But they aren't necessarily meritocratic anymore. See Kushner, J. So maybe there's room for resentful, passed-over meritorious SAT winners? See Krein, J. 2/ https://t.co/t0euZnwXFc
