@camwoodsum Also thanks for your reply comment - I never said anything about the President so I'm not sure why you bothered to bring him up. But since you did, you should know Twitter just redacted and issued a correction on their own fact check of his statement because it was wrong lol. Any amount of personal research would prove that the likelihood of voter fraud increases drastically when vote by mail is a norm - and simple rational thought does would draw the same conclusion - "I'd encourage you to read more" in general. In the past few weeks alone: - Gavin Newsome announced he'd be allowing and sending mail-in ballots to anyone on the voter register (alive, dead, illegal, etc.) this is, of course, without the need for VoterID - A USPS mail carrier was charged with ballot tampering of mail-in ballots - Detroit registered 30k more registered voters than those of-age in the city able to vote Those are just a few, of many, examples in the past few weeks...but sure "widely debunked" unless you think about it for 10 seconds. If I'm allowed to vote, without the use of ID or a SSN to verify my citizenship, and the ballot is able to leave my hands and be transported elsewhere in the hands of others - logic would dictate things would change. I'm all for mail-in voting if: VoterID and SSNs are required (which in many states and cases neither is...), hand-to-hand transfer is minimized, etc. - all things that would prevent the fraud that has happened and continues to happen to this day - but that's not what your service or current legislation is promoting. Ever play the game of telephone as a kid? You whisper a message into the person next to you's ear and see how much the message changes with no verifiability as it goes around a circle? The only way to verify how much the message has changes is for it to get back to you in the circle - but the message never gets back to you with mail-in voting, you never verify for yourself how much the message (your vote) has changed if at all. That's what the current state of mail-in voting is and that's what you're trying to not just justify, but promote, with a product like this.

@stephen_downes Not to start an argument but the source you just cited is Buzzfeed (Lol). And the CDC's estimates are also in line with numerous studies done independently, and by universities (USC, UCLA, NY State, etc.) that say the same is true. Even discounting those studies, the studies that have supplied ample data as to the actual % of the US infected by the virus v. those who have died show the mortality rate is incredibly low. Even discounting THAT, all states that have significantly eased or dismissed "lockdown protocols" have had either no change in the case count or have continued downwards - no statistically significant spikes. But sure. Buzzfeed is right. Even though the scientists they cite in the article haven't accounted for: (1) The changes in numbers between 'dying with COVID' and 'dying from COVID'. Originally most states were requiring patients who died "with COVID' to be counted as having died "of COVID" - as this has been corrected on a state by state basis death tolls have immediately dropped 25%+ and (2) the fact that numerous states have been, and haven't been hiding the fact, that they've been inflating death rates through numerous means - the first of which I'd previously mentioned in point (1) the second of which includes "just assuming" people had COVID upon death (NY officials have said on more than one occasion this assumption was made) ... Sure though, let's ignore actual data, rely solely on models that have not been correct once. Stay locked in our homes for months on end, and then watch as Mail-In Voting, which has been proven time and time and time and time and time again to be unreliable, and easily cheated, is used. ProductHunt used to be a community of logical thinkers, shame it doesn't seem that's the case anymore. EDIT: It was confirmed today that Washington state counted gunshot deaths among total coronavirus death tolls - but please continue to tell me how the death rate is higher than stats are saying.
