Are they afraid that can't win in a fair election?
Why is the left so obsessed with fixing elections and cheating?
-
Republicans would never support it
How about this? Let's have a universal election ID card. Everyone over 18 gets one (for free) and automatically. Also, it automatically registers you to vote wherever you live.
Well, then that wpuld be on them. That kind of system provides what both sides want: election security (Republicans) and voting rights (Democrats). But, of course, we know that Republicans do not care one bit about election security.

Republicans don’t really want election security. They want to suppress voting

But having the Democrats making the proposal and having the Republicans reject it would make it crystal clear that Republicans could not care less about election integrity.

What did I say about race?
Israel does not allow vote-by-mail. If you are an Israeli overseas, you cannot vote. you cannot cast your vote by mail. You have to personally go and vote. Votes in Israel are counted by hand.
This is how their Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, rationalizes it:
“We believe that the old system is the best system in terms of counting the votes. You don’t want to take that risk [with vote-by-mail]. You want to make sure that the votes are counted where people actually cast their votes. We don’t like to see any travel of the votes, not in polling stations, not the Internet. Once the ballots start to travel, the result starts to change. So you don’t want to take that risk. You want to make sure that … people in the committee will count the exact vote in the same location and report the results immediately.”
Go away r8cist
You should only be able to vote in person, like in Israel
Mail voting and community drop boxes are recipe for fraud

Karl, do you think overseas military personnel should be able to vote by mail?

Are they afraid that can't win in a fair election?
theyve been cheating in elections for decades by using the inner city vote
The riggers working the inner city precincts have been rigging the elections for decades.
I have a family member high up on wall street. Elections have a big impact on investing outcomes, so they spend alot of money to guess who will win. He was saying at some point they came to the conclusion that the voting numbers arent real. There were always these huge anomalies. They mostly get swept under the rug and are never spoken about within the firm

Any evidence besides "I know a guy who said x" ?
Besides, I don't really see why we can't have online voting like online banking.

It's an interesting question, but to answer it you have to think on the left's terms. For our purposes, the left and the Democratic Party are interchangeable, and the Democratic Party is advocate for laws that reduce the administrative burden of voting. I think the answer to why the Democratic Party is the group wanting these laws is that the northern Democrats have historically been a party of machine politics. New York, Boston, Chicago, and other Democratic strongholds have been run by an amalgamation of mediating institutions that provide services to different constituencies; the Democratic Party supports these institutions in exchange for political support. On Election Day the mediating institutions will reach out to their constituents and persuade them to vote Democrat and assist them in doing so. Notice that restrictions on voting such as the requirement to show ID increases the burden on the mediating institutions organizing voters; I think this is what the debate is really about: Democrats want to make voter organization easier, and Republicans are aware that the Democrats rely on voter organization and try to restrict it as much as they can. The modern GOP does some voter organization, especially with Evangelicals, but that party's ideology, which sees America as characteristically a voluntary association of rational individuals, prevents this from being a general Republican strategy. If you read Erik Loomis, one of the most intellectually capable advocates for the Democratic Party, you see a recurring theme of rejecting the idea of voting being a private decision, and instead seeing voting as a social action where you show solidarity with your group and support the party that promises to look out for your interest.
