With the 2020 election just around the corner, questions are being raised about the integrity of early voting and mail-in ballots. The saying “it makes no difference who cast the vote, it’s the one who count’s the vote that matters” is becoming increasingly relevant as both Democrats and Republicans have expressed concerns about potential voter fraud. The idea that Democrats prefer to vote early or by mail has been met with skepticism by some Republicans. President Trump has even gone so far as to suggest that mail-in ballots are vulnerable to fraud and manipulation. While there is no evidence to support this claim, it does raise important questions about how votes will be counted in November. The issue of election integrity is not new, but it has become more pressing in recent years due to advances in technology and increased access to information. In addition, changes in state laws have made it easier for people to register and vote by mail or absentee ballot. This has led some experts to worry that these changes could lead to voter fraud or other forms of electoral manipulation. While there is no way of knowing for sure whether any form of voter fraud will occur during this year's election, what is certain is that there must be safeguards in place to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot without fear of interference or manipulation. This includes ensuring all votes are accurately counted and reported on Election Day. It also means making sure all voters have access to accurate information about where they can go to cast their ballots safely and securely on Election Day itself. At a time when trust in our democratic institutions is at an all-time low, it's more important than ever that we take steps now to protect our elections from any form of interference or manipulation - regardless of which party may benefit from such actions. As Biden & Stalin both said “it makes no difference who cast the vote, it’s the one who count’s the vote that matters” - a statement which rings true now more than ever before.
