    I read through that link, and an ID requirement simply wouldn’t have helped. A bunch of Democratic political operatives convinced locals (who were already registered to vote) to apply for absentee ballots, then individually harvested them and delivered them, in violation of several existing laws. Throw the book at those folks, but the answer is not to make it harder to vote.

      But at the same time, why is that even illegal? I filled out the ballot, it doesn’t really matter who drops it off at Town Hall.
