    Give me one good and verifiable reason why it is ever a good idea to restrict voting if the intent isn’t suppression.

        Are you suggesting that people are running some scheme of running multiple households of people and requesting mail in ballots and then forging the info and voting for people without their knowledge? The united states elections has been one of the most scrutinized elections in the world and it’s been proven to be one of the most secure elections in the world and that’s with mail in ballots. Your fear of identification is null and void. Mail in ballots require more identification then walking in and voting in person.

          At least try to make up convincing lies. Writing my name is hardly a form of verifying who I am, because literally anyone with a steady hand can do it. If I wanted, there was literally nothing stopping me from voting under the names of all my apathetic family members who didn’t care.
