In other words, everything's cool with mail-in balloting until there's a close, intensely fought race. Then it breeds huge, unnecessary paranoia. If works at conferring legitimacy except when we most need it to work. https://t.co/Rc3VzVujyH

Seems like there were issues with the heavily mail-in 2004 WA gov. race: "[A]s proof that ballots were misplaced or destroyed…they pointed to the fact that four of the six precincts in which the most mail-in votes cannot be accounted for backed Republican…Rossi."

Both seats were still winnable–certainly the one Perdue lost by 1%. If Trump had pitched in fully to rouse the base vote Dems wouldn't be running the Congress. Trump had a choice: Himself on one side vs. Party & Country on the other. He chose himself. F___ him. https://t.co/GYpF6qWCma

His self-obsession cost Republicans GA and the Senate, opening up the country to destructive amnesty legislation (among other things). Deal-breaker. Trumpists need a new leader and if they wait until 2022 it will likely be too late. https://t.co/5Zfq9ErYSw

What I should have said: If it's so important that voters accept the legitimacy of elections, don't allow massive mail-in voting then. It's a breeding ground for paranoia (on the part of whichever side loses). https://t.co/OqBieQxzad
