I would actually change the “no” to “probably no.” We don’t know. The loopholes are big enough—eg sending in random ballots for people who won’t complain and never see them which then aren’t adequately checked–that it’s possible. https://t.co/PeUc0quh4y

My favorite “witch hunt” for fraud was Bob Dornan’s 1996 House campaign. Dem Loretta Sanchez finished ahead by 984 votes. Dornan cried foul, but a bipartisan Congressional inquiry found only 748 illegal votes–624 from non-citizens. Nothing to see there! https://t.co/4vkfFe8sjV

“If you were going to pay people $3 or $5 to vote, and you had to pay tens of thousands of them … it would be a pretty expensive and risky way to try to sway an election.”–@rickhasen Huh? For 20,000 votes that’s $60,000 to $100,000. If Hasen thinks that’s expensive …

One reason harvesters may wait until the last minute to dump their mail-in ballots is the hope (maybe incorrect) that a massive number of last-minute ballots have better chance of overwhelming the checks that’d be enforced if less exhausted workers were processing fewer ballots. https://t.co/e2roDZulGG
