5 thoughts on “Dana Black: Mail-in voting should always be an option

  1. Mail in voting would also be rampant for fraud. If getting to the polls is the problem extend the hours. the polls are open for 12 hours currently. I am not sure an employer who will not give you time off to vote, is an employer I would want to be on there payroll.

    1. Colorado and Washington state counter the narrative of voter fraud. It does not happen at any rate higher than in-person voting.

  2. 3 Thoughts:
    1) The fraud argument has been repeatedly debunked. As stated above by Dana B., in states with mail-in voting, there is no more mail-in fraud than that which occurs with in-person voting, and that is so statistically small as to be non-existent.
    2) Greater access and increased turnout can do nothing but good for our democracy. My educated guess is that most if not all of the mail-in opponents are Republican. They don’t want to see an increase in Democratic voters because they will lose the advantage they have held for years in Indiana.
    3) Covid-19. ‘Nuff said.

    IMO, Indiana is not a “Red State”, but rather a “Purple State” where a sizable portion of Democrats either don’t vote out of frustration that the Republican advantage renders their vote meaningless, or can’t vote due to various disenfranchisement issues – socioeconomic, locality, prohibitive voter laws, etc.
