This is an extremely poor analogy, and it doesn't change the objective fact that mail-in voting is provably, measurably secure.

In France, vote by mail was used between 1946 and 1975. It was stopped due to too much fraud (even if less than 2% of the population used it).

Just the fact requiring a valid ID is a contentious idea in the US is baffling when seen from here. I think more people in the US should check how elections are done in other countries (and not just 3rd world ones).

The Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust looked into it in the UK as well in the early 2000's and from their Exec Summary:

- There have been at least 42 convictions for electoral fraud in the UK in the period 2000–2007.

- Greater use of postal voting has made UK elections far more vulnerable to fraud and resulted in several instances of large-scale fraud.

- The benefits of postal and electronic voting have been exaggerated, particularly in relation to claims about increased turnout and social inclusion

None of this changes the fact that mail-in voting in the United States is objectively and measurably secure, and that instances of fraud are so miniscule that claims of it having an impact on election outcomes are provably false.

Those are simply the facts.
