Oh come on! The farther you go from turning in your ballot personally the greater chance for fraud. Since the Democrats started their vote harvesting in California, turning even Orange County blue, you know they are itching to get it nationally. In my state you can do both, and in a close congressional election 2 years ago, magically appearing late mail in ballots came in- from one of the reddest parts of the state, almost totally supporting the Democrat candidate. Democrats seem to have no problem committing fraud to further their purpose; Republicans, on the other hand, have scruples.
