Begging the question
False equivalence
We said that there was evidence of republican politicians committing election fraud, because they've been caught recently. Not that democrats committed fraud, or that individual voters committed fraud. Republican. Politicians.
This is actually a straw man. I never said "all republicans racist, dems never bad and never racist by low expectations". If you can find that quote from someone else please post it.
ID laws are voter suppression (and how would that work with mail-in ballots?). Paper trail with physical ballots and widespread mail-in ballots are really all you need.
1) Post was to Ed's post. Not you. Hence "Ed" at the start
2) You just admitted again there is voter fraud, again!
3a) Not false equivalency because you choose to pretend like dems haven't been caught committing election/voter fraud more than once.
3b) Again you skip the cases of Dem election/ voter fraud to show your hate for republicans and display your cognitive dissonance
Bottomline, once again, both parties engage in fraud to preserve power. From candidate filtering/ ballot listing rules to registration fraud, and vote stuffing and harvesting. And once again you just proved voter/ election fraud exists.
ID laws do not suppress voters. Period. You can't live and operate in this country without ID.

Work
Partake in your chosen vice
And, directly correlated, exercise your "can't be infringed" right to owning firearms without ID.
Mail in ballots are wrought with fraud. At the minimum for mail in to be looked at as possibly being valid
You would have to
1) Purge the rolls before every election of dead voters and inactive voters (not vote in last 2 election)
2) Require IDs at registration with proof of address- You have to do this to get a license so to vote too.
3) Require Audits of voter rolls- Random checks to mail in or drop off ballot
4) Postage pre paid to make ballot harvesting more difficult
5) Require proof of citizenship at registration- at the DMV or Clerk's office- which ever method is used.
6) Do as much advertising about the laws around voting/ avoiding fraud as they did to get minorities to fill out the Census.
And here, from NPR who even when trying to preserve dem talking points in this article have to admit:
"Election experts say Trump is partially correct, that there is slightly more fraud in mail-voting than in-person voting. But they caution that both can be done safely and securely"
And
"Where there is fraud in the system, it really seems to be in mail balloting," said Lonna Atkeson, a political science professor at the University of New Mexico."
Pressure is increasing to make mail voting more available nationwide in response to the coronavirus pandemic, but President Trump on Tuesday called it "very dangerous."

And then we have Nevada this year. Proof mail in ballots are wrought with fraud and opportunity of fraud. Ripe for vote fraud and ballot harvesting with ballots stacking up in trash cans around apartment complexes and other examples.
