>> example, you probably think voter ID is "fair" but vote-by-mail is "unfair

I have never defined fairness as equal outcomes. That isn’t the definition by any reasonable interpretation. Fairness means equal opportunity and equal treatment. Everyone has to have an ID? Fair, totally. Fairness means everyone can vote on his or her cell phone if they want to.

We do this stuff all the time. It isn’t unfair.

Of course voter ID can be implemented in a fair way. Just like SS cards, Driver's licenses, AMEXP cards, and literally thousands of different kinds of IDS. In fact, I wouldn’t think of going to vote without my voter registration card in hand. I don’t think it is too much to ask. I’m not sure if I have ever showed up even once without it.

Voter ID and Vote by mail are opposite ends of the election security spectrum.

The key difference is that voter is is for the future and vote by mail is history. The USPS is obviously in its death throes. Why structure something as important as voting around it? It is losing a shit ton of money, is now having to raise prices annually, and has recently slowed mail deliver between Houston and Little Rock (previously two days) to five days. Useless.

It has 70 billion in debt to its army of union workers.

I’d give it ten years max. Probably less.
