Large-scale mail-in voting ruins exit polling, which was an important safeguard against fraud.

BRET WEINSTEIN : For one thing, elections used to be different, as you remember. First of all, you used to vote in person. And voting by mail was something you were very reluctant to do because you knew that if your vote got counted, it was gonna be very late in the process. It wasn't really going to matter.

JOE ROGAN: It was mostly for soldiers serving overseas.

BRET WEINSTEIN: Right, exactly. It was for people who just simply couldn't vote in person and it never really mattered except in very rare cases. The disappearance of that and the normalization of voting by mail, the normalization of voting across a period of time so that you're not all voting on the same day, and the absence of exit polls, right?

When everybody is voting from home or wherever, you can't detect fraud by virtue of the fact that the count that came in from that precinct didn't match what the exit pollers registered. So, I don't think we are wrong to imagine that we have lost the ability to check whether an election is fair and that that's not an accident.
