    It came from the vote counts. If you count more votes than there are voters it is a simple comparison. It is the fraud that has not been investigated and never will be. There can be no proof without an independent investigation. You know that.

    I didn't bring this up. You did. I know Trump lost. I have never said otherwise. There is nothing with which I need to cope. I don't care. What I care about is the lies and denials. I always get an urge to correct them.

    No, he was an important part of government with opinions. We all have opinions. Trump screamed and yelled for investigations. That was never going to happen. I know you know this.

    Because there was nothing to investigate.

    And how would you know that without an investigation? Wild guess? Partisan blindness?

    Mail in ballots are not a problem. You seem to think they are 'unsolicited'. That's not true, they are sent automatically in 9 states to REGISTERED voters. By the very definition, if you are registered, you have solicited by default. I don't request a ballot each year in CA, because I EXPECT, and do receive, an absentee ballot. I EXPECT a ballot BECAUSE I AM REGISTERED.
    For me that's just convenient, as I imagine all registered voters feel the same way.

    From Reuters:
    “On the states where these ballots are sent automatically, those were state-legislated decisions to make those policies,” Commissioner Hovland said, adding that “those states have implemented security measures on their respective mail-in processes.”

    You're the one who lives in la la land.

    They are sent to everyone on the voter rolls, whether they have since died, moved or sent to prison or otherwise became ineligible to vote. You can call it "solicited by default". I call it an invitation to defraud or make mistakes.

    By the way. Twenty years in the Air Force, I was never assigned to my home state. That was twenty years voting absentee ballot. I doubt the whole process of filling out a request for a ballot and sending in the ballot took me more than a half hour. Hardly an inconvenience.

    I now live about fifteen minutes from where I can early vote. That is thirty minutes plus a few minutes at my polling location. That is hardly inconvenient.

    But all the studies show that they don't, not any any real numbers to affect outcomes.
    You're all hot and bothered for nothing.
    Doesn't change a thing to the argument.

    You have not answered one very basic question.

    Why not go ahead and do the investigation? If they find nothing, then everyone should be happy.

    It appears that you are the one who is hot and bothered.

    You claimed convenience as the big feature for doing mail in voting. The other method is not inconvenient. That appears to be just an excuse.

    No doubt about that. Ignoring reports and claiming they are invalid without an investigation is how it works.
