There is a line of rhetoric about the upcoming presidential election that has, by now, set like concrete. The results will be highly dubious, the argument goes, because of the broad expansion of mail-in ballots. The certainty that usually accompanies an election will be out the window as we await vote-counting and, more conspiratorially, as fake ballots are injected to shift the result. It will be a maelstrom of confusion and cheating that will damage the country.
It’s also almost entirely nonsense, generated from a combination of misunderstanding, old false arguments and new political motivations.
