  There’s a giant scheme afoot to disenfranchise voters in November — it’s called mail-in balloting.Mail-in voting has, like many things in our politics, taken on the aspect of tribal warfare — if President Donald Trump is vociferously against it, Democrats must be vociferously for it, and vice versa.Absentee voting is unquestionably less secure than in-person voting, but there’s no evidence of widespread fraud.
