We cannot sacrifice the confidence our citizens have in the election process for anything. Everyone knows the deadlines and the process already. If they do not want to go in person, they have plenty of time to request a mail in ballot and mail it.
There are many areas that have in-person absentee locations that allow for voting anytime between now and election day.
With all these options, there is no reason to sacrifice the potential of voter fraud for an extensions for mail in ballots. And there is definitely a potential for voter fraud, it cannot be refuted and is dishonest to do so. Any politician that pushes changes that endangers the confidence in our elections should be investigated for corruption.
