David Frum

Yeah.

So what are the other acts that the Republicans are interested in?

Well, I think there are also, the Republicans are in the group of, we remember a world where Republicans were more likely to have a passport than Democrats were, but that was a world of long ago.

We're mad about mail-in ballots because they helped Biden in 2020, because in 2020, there was a special circumstance where people who took COVID seriously were more likely to vote by mail than people who didn't take COVID seriously.

And Democrats were more likely to take COVID seriously than Republicans.

But what also seems weird about this, for Republicans to make such a fetish of it now, is in normal times, who's most likely to vote by mail?

Active duty military personnel and older people.

So you think, well, gee, I mean, if I'm a Republican, why do I want to make that more difficult?

Yeah.

I mean, these are things.

I mean, you can debate the SAVE Act.

You can debate these other measures.

In a way, you can't debate someone who believes that Hugo Chavez from beyond the grave is tampering with American voting dials.

So you show up, you stand in line, you execute your vote, however your accounting does it, and then you leave and then you never you don't think about it until you turn on the TV.

What happens after you leave that room?

Let me pause you right there.

So even though you've used a machine to vote.

create, degenerate the ballot.

The ballot remains a paper ballot.
