It is a well-regarded fact, even among globalist progressives the world around, that voting by mail improves the ease with which election fraud can be perpetrated. Even Democrats of eld thought the practice suspicious and likely to undermine confidence in election integrity.
Elections are also – even if rigged – a barrier to the progressive agenda. Central planning is inequitable, incompetent, frequently cruel, and destined to devolve into some form of despotism, but that’s what they are after. So when the Left insists that talk about election integrity is little more than wide-eyed conspiracy, what they mean is to thank you for invalidating the institution.
Vote by mail ensures that the chain of custody for any given ballot is not only broken but can be manipulated, which does not benefit voting rights. Quite the opposite. The moment that ballot leaves your hand, if it has not entered the ballot box, you have potentially given up or given away your vote.

It’s that simple. And last year, Vermont embraced 100% mail-in voting, all-in, all the time.
Vermont’s progressive election laws have put it in the top 10 among U.S. states in voter turnout for decades. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it switched to a universal vote-by-mail system for the 2020 election. Last year, it made that change permanent.
It’s easy to register to vote in Vermont — something you can do up to and on Election Day. The state doesn’t have strict voter ID requirements, offers an array of options to vote early in person, allows residents to return ballots by mail or drop box, and has an online voting system for voters with disabilities.
Election integrity in Vermont is officially equal to that of the average third-world dictatorship with a twist. Voting in Banana Republics is an exercise in fealty to the ruling party and its figureheads. Voting in Vermont is now no different. Though, I’m not sure why they bothered. Perception, perhaps? Vermont is already trapped in a cascade of blue failure. Their Republican show-governor aside, Democrats can have whatever they want if they want it bad enough.
And now that applies to elections.
