The Real Problem with Voting by Mail
There has been lots of talk on mail-in voting, with Trump complaining about the possibilities of fraud. The real risk, it seems to me, is not fraud but vote buying. Someone with experience in black markets could offer to buy ballots for ten or twenty dollars apiece, and there are probably places where a fair number of people would sell.
It would also be possible, but I think more difficult, for someone in a position to pressure many other people, such as an employer, a landlord, perhaps a priest, to give him their ballots to fill out on their behalf or to have everyone fill them out together. That would be more risky, because any one person who complained to the authorities could get him in trouble.
