Yes one can commit a felony by steal mail, then get a group of there friends to also commit felonies by voting for someone else.

maybe we should also out law all absentee ballets, I mean you could just send in request for a ballet for 30 of your neighbours intercept the ballet fill it out and send it in! I think there you would get 3 felonies!

The main point is if you are going to increase the barrier to voting, you should demonstrate that there is a problem you are solving. If you can not demonstrate there is a problem, then adding cost to the populace is not justified.

There are lots of illegal ID given out in rural areas (not that I have any data on that) so I think we should move all location for registering to the city, where we trust the people giving out voting cards. Does that sound reasonable? It would if I could demonstrate that 30% of the voters in rural areas should not have been registered, but not if I just say it is true

In the same vein of stupid ideas; clearly everyone in rural areas are planning an armed uprising against the government, and the violent lynching of all non-whites, therefore we should remove the Second Amendment but only if you live outside of a city. Heyo! This game is fun.
