“#Plenty of Democrats worry over mail-in voting disasters<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Rather than blasting President Trump for voicing fears of election fraud, Democrats ought to be moving to secure the vote. Trump\u2019s language may be (as usual) over the top, but the prospect of widespread screwups and, yes, corruption is real \u2014 and even some Democrats are worried.<\/p>\n

At Tuesday\u2019s debate, Trump railed against balloting already underway, calling it \u201cfraud.\u201d He\u2019s also made specific allegations, sometimes without proof, such as that ballots are being \u201cdumped in rivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such remarks, the obsessively anti-Trump New York Times charges<\/a>, aim \u201cto erode trust\u201d and are \u201cthe most direct threat to the electoral process since 1788.\u201d The Washington Post has accused<\/a> Trump of \u201cdisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet plenty of past elections were marred by fraud. The Post recently quoted a Democratic insider who admitted fixing mail-in ballots, on a large scale, for years. Just days ago, an online video showed what app<\/a>eared to be \u201cballot-harvesting\u201d in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

And with many states expanding mail-in voting this year, the likelihood of critical glitches is high. Brooklyn alone has already seen more than 100,000 incorrect mail-in ballots sent out.<\/p>\n

Which is why some Democrats are worried and advising New Yorkers to avoid mail-in voting altogether if they can. City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, a staunch progressive, says people already don\u2019t \u201ctrust\u201d officials to \u201ccount the ballot right.\u201d Noting the \u201crampant incompetence,\u201d city Comptroller Scott Stringer points to the \u201csafe alternative: voting early and voting in person.\u201d The head of the state Senate\u2019s elections committee urges, \u201cFor the safety of your vote, better to vote in person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thursday, state Senate Republicans offered legislation \u201cto secure the integrity of the voting process.\u201d The Democrats who run the state should go along.<\/p>\n

Officials, here and in Congress, have a clear duty to cut down on the confusion and instill confidence. Ensure the process is simple, clear, well-vetted \u2014 and free of snafus like in Brooklyn. The stakes are too high to screw this up.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
