Oregon's run every election by mail for 25 years. Zero fraud scandals.
Even the Heritage Foundation's own fraud database — built by the side arguing fraud is a problem — logs under 300 absentee cases nationwide since 1982.
Part 2 of our deep dive breaks down the real safety data, how ballots get verified, and your full voting checklist for November.

There are other places to drop of mail in ballots besides the post office. Usually a central location like the courthouse and various other secure dropoffs. Check with your local government to find out where.
Internationally located voters and military station abroad are going to have problems. At this point, as hostile as the post office administration is, I dont trust it.

Republicans and other would-be election stealers like to spin tales of Hillary driving around raiding your mail box for your mail-in ballot and handing them off to a room full of vaguely turban-wearing brown people for fake voting, but this is what most REAL vote-by-mail interference looks like (other than Republicans).

As @mattblaze has discussed a few times, there's a lot of daylight between what Trump says he's going to do about elections, and what he actually has the practical ability to achieve, even without legal arguments.
However, one of his big ones - eliminate mail-in voting, because the "low-information voters" that are the raw #feedstock of #MAGA don't vote by mail - worries me, because of something he might be able to do.
If Trump ordered a #compliant #USPS - it's officially independent, but it's part of the executive branch and run by a Trump #toady - to simply not deliver voting packages or returned ballots - he could effectively end vote-by-mail without even talking to the states, much less getting them to do it legally. And if he did it late enough, the courts might have trouble acting quickly enough to preserve those potential votes.
I really hope some of the orgs trying to recover the #US #constitutional order are thinking about this.

2020: How #NativeAmericans’ #RightToVote has been systematically violated for generations
In the new book Voting in Indian Country, Jean Reith Schroedel weaves together historical and contemporary voting rights conflicts as the election nears
by Nina Lakhani in New York
Fri 16 Oct 2020"#VoterSuppression has taken centre stage in the race to elect potentially the 46th president of the United States. But we’ve heard little about the 5.2 million #Native Americans whose ancestors have called this land home before there was a US president.
"The rights of indigenous communities – including the right to vote – have been systematically violated for generations with devastating consequences for access to #CleaAir and #water, #health, #education, economic opportunities, #housing and #sovereignty. Voter turnout for Native Americans and Alaskan Natives is the lowest in the country, and about one in three eligible voters (1.2 million people) are not registered to vote, according to the National Congress of American Indians.
"In a new book, Voting in Indian County: The View from the Trenches, Jean Reith Schroedel, professor emerita of political science at Claremont Graduate University, weaves together historical and contemporary voting rights conflicts.
"Is the right to vote struggle for Native Americans distinct from the wider struggle faced by marginalized groups in the US?
"One thing few Americans understand is that American Indians and #NativeAlaskans were the last group in the #UnitedStates to get #citizenship and to get the #vote. Even after the civil war and the Reconstruction (13th, 14th and 15th) amendments there was a supreme court decision that said #IndigenousPeople could never become US citizens, and some laws used to disenfranchise them were still in place in 1975. In fact first-generation violations used to deny – not just dilute voting rights – were in place for much longer for Native Americans than any other group. It’s impossible to understand contemporary voter suppression in Indian Country without understanding this historical context.
"Why didn’t the #AmericanIndianCitizenshipAct 1924 nor the #VotingRightsAct (#VRA) 1965 guarantee Native Americans equal access to the ballot box?
"The motivation for the VRA was the egregious treatment of #black people in the south, and for the first 10 years there was a question over whether it even applied to #AmericanIndian and Native Alaskan populations. It wasn’t really discussed until a #CivilRights commission report in 1975 which included cases from #SouthDakota and #Arizona that showed equally egregious #discrimination and absolute denial of right to vote towards Native Americans – and also #Latinos.
"When voter suppression is discussed by politicians, advocates and journalists, it’s mostly about African American voters, and to a lesser degree Latinos. Why are Native Americans still excluded from the conversation?
"Firstly they are a small population and secondly most of the most egregious abuses routinely occur in rural isolated parts of #IndianCountry where there is little media focus. But it’s happening – take Jackson county in South Dakota, a state where the governor has done little to protect people from #Covid. The county council has just decided to close the legally mandated early voting centre on the #PineRidgeReservation, citing concerns about Covid, but not in the voting site in #Kadoka, where the white people go. Regardless of the intent, this will absolutely have a detrimental effect on Native people’s ability to vote. And South Dakota, like many other states, is also a very hard place for Native people to vote by mail. In the primary, the number of people who registered to #VoteByMail increased by 1,000% overall but there was no increase among reservation communities. In #Oglala county, which includes the eastern part of Pine Ridge, turnout was about 10%.
"The right to vote by mail is a hot political and civil rights issue in the 2020 election – could it help increase turnout in Indian Country?
"No, voting by mail is very challenging for Native Americans for multiple reasons. First and foremost, most reservations do not have home mail delivery. Instead, people need to travel to post offices or postal provide sites – little places that offer minimal mail services and are located in places like gas stations and mini-marts. Take the Navajo Nation that encompasses 27,425 square miles – it’s larger than West Virginia, yet there are only 40 places where people can send and receive mail. In West Virginia, there are 725. Not a single PO box on the Navajo Nation has 24-hour access."
