I didn't realize that even @rickhasen opposes indiscriminate ballot-collecting ("harvesting")–favoring Colarado's 10 votes/collector limit. "I think not having outside groups handle large numbers of ballots makes sense." Tell that to CA Dems. https://t.co/JRCcJrn0Jp

"Ada Briceño, chair of the Democratic Party of Orange County, said her staff and volunteers have collected mail-in ballots for GOP candidates and turned them in along with Democratic and independent ballots." How long are they going to keep doing that? https://t.co/SStshdw3G3

Piece of mail sent to voters tells them to mail ballot to wrong address. Done by Dem group. Response: “It could have been sent by Trump.”
That's true! Mail-in ballot open to fraud/mischief by either party. Why it's a bad system. @Nytimes should stop pushing it. https://t.co/czjE4pl8Tq

Of course the two things (Trump reelect, Senate control) tend to go hand in hand. But as Trump's chances improve it no longer seems impossible that he'd win while the sorry GOP Senate candidates (McSally, Tillis, Graham) go down & take Senate with them.

Maybe the claimed increase turnout for mail-in voting is middle class people who trust the mails & value convenience–not young, poor or minority who have legitimate doubts about mail delivery. (Note: This study funded by Tom Steyer!) https://t.co/pfJLkwJtmn
