American elections are safe and secure. That was the conventional wisdom for a long time. But lately, some Democrats have started to worry about the safety and security of one method of ballot-casting: voting by mail.
To make sure this is clear from the jump: No, Democrats haven’t come to find Republicans’ arguments against voting by mail any more convincing. They don’t believe that foreign operations are compromising ballot security or that fraudsters and noncitizens are voting on behalf of the dead.
However, they have discerned a new threat vector. You might say that the call is coming from inside the (White) House.
Yes, we know. Paywall. Sorry.
We’d love to give everything away. Unfortunately, reporting on what the Trump administration is doing, asking members of Congress questions they’d rather dodge, and publishing smart, independent arguments about what it all means requires work and time and money.
So this is the bargain: Our Bulwark+ members support our work, and we keep doing it.
There’s a lot ahead between now and 2028. We’d love to have you with us. Join today for 30 percent off the regular annual price.
