WaPo mischaracterizes objection to mass mail in voting

Washington Post:

Trump might have won three states in 2016 solely on the strength of Republican absentee voting

White House advisers have spent the past week disparaging voting by mail, bolstering the president’s insistence that mail-in ballots are rife with fraud.

What they are objecting to is mailing ballots of all so called registered voters whether they are living or dead or have moved and are no longer eligible to vote in those states.  Some locations have more registered voters than adults.

Some states have automatically sent voter registration to illegal immigrants who are not eligible voters.

In Nevada ballots are stacking up outside apartments for people who no longer live there, and there is nothing to keep someone from taking those ballots and illegally voting.

It is a really stupid system and it is indefensible.  The main objective appears to make it easier for Democrats to cheat.  It would automatically lead to the questioning the legitimacy of the result of such elections.

The challenge is not to legitimate absentee ballots where eligible voters formerly request a ballot.  The WaPo seems to have a default position of assuming something that isn't so in order to make the President seem unreasonable, rather than seeking clarification.  This is despite the administration making that clarification in its latest press briefing.
