It’s probably complex, but the end result is that it benefits democrats and that’s the important part. The way politics works is that you work backwards from the outcome you want, creating the narrative to drive to that outcome. Republicans don’t like mail in voting because it benefits democrats. Democrats like mail in voting because it benefits them. Same with the voter ID conversation. It’s actually pretty easy to create conspiracies to support narratives. In the case of mail in voting you can say that it’s easy to commit fraud and that’s why it shouldn’t be allowed. But how do you disprove that? Especially to the people who find it convenient to believe it.

What does “statistically” mean to you?
