Based on their coronation of Harris without a single primary vote, we should recognize that, like the Chinese Communist Party, the Democratic Party in the U.S. is the party of installed leaders, and the party that prefers it that way.

(At least their attempt to select the President failed!)
Harris loves and even demands ID's if you want to attend a rally, but insists that asking for ID is discriminatory if you want a ballot! HUH???

And now a piece from Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General. I know, I know, you probably don't really like him, but is that a reason to think he isn't right sometimes?
By Ken Paxton – Texas Attorney General
"It is also no secret that both sides of the political aisle have long agreed that voting by mail-in ballot increases the likelihood of fraud. During a 2004 Congressional hearing, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-NY, said, “In my experience in New York, paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud. I could show you experience which would make your head spin.”
Just two years ago in a legislative hearing in Austin, a prosecutor from South Texas (and registered Democrat) testified: “Any time you have ballots that are outside the polling location, you’re going to have fraud…I would never recommend everyone voting by mail – it invites fraud.”
Democrats are selling Americans a false narrative; election integrity will jeopardize personal safety. Election officials have many options available to safely and securely hold in-person elections. They can provide masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. They can enforce physical distancing recommendations, sanitize voting stations, and implement other practical solutions so voting machines can be operated touch-free. To shorten waiting times and lines at polls, they could also expand the number of early voting days as we did in Texas for the primary elections. With precautions like these, voters can access polling places safely and exercise their vote without fear of being defrauded. If we safely choose to go to shopping malls, restaurants or even large public protests, we have no excuse to forego our constitutional-right to vote, and to do so in person.
In Texas, to prevent fraud, we must show an ID when we vote just as we are required to show a form of ID at the airport, government buildings, financial institutions, and during many other daily activities. But there is no effective way for election officials to ensure that mail-in ballots are not requested fraudulently. Just as credit card skimmers can steal your financial information, vote harvesters can easily collect “authentic” signatures under false pretenses and steal your vote.
During the 2018 primary, an anonymous video surfaced that appears to show how easily a Houston-area campaign worker collected a ballot application and signature from a voter in less than 20 seconds. After providing her signature, the voter asked the worker, “Is this legal, what you’re doing?” The worker replied, “Yes, ma’am, we’ve done 400 already.”
Once mail ballots go out, harvesters show up at a voter’s door and offer “voting assistance.” They often appear friendly, and helpful. Successful vote harvesters leave with a voter’s signature and a ballot that is blank, that is “correctly” voted, or that can be modified later. Or the harvester can simply discard the ballot if the voter chose the “wrong” candidate. Done effectively, the process is largely invisible to the voter, who is led to believe their ballot was cast according to their wishes.
Because of tactics like these, my office has conducted over 300 investigations of mail-in ballot fraud. Our investigators have spoken with thousands of victims of mail ballot fraud over the years, and they commonly tell us they were pressured and harassed by campaign workers to sign up to vote by mail, vote a certain way, or hand over their ballots. The common denominator in mail ballot fraud is that the votes of the victims are cancelled and replaced by those of paid campaign workers. Every fraudulent vote disenfranchises a lawful voter by canceling out their lawful vote.
Politically-motivated groups want to scare us into allowing what amounts to unlimited vote by mail. In doing so, they are stealing your right to vote.
Democrats" [the side he thinks is likely to cheat] "distract the public with talk of foreign involvement in our elections while they are brazenly creating election interference themselves. If we willfully compromise the integrity of our election process, we are threatening the future of our country as we know it. Let’s work together to stop them and keep our elections safe, fair, and honest." By Ken Paxton – Texas Attorney General
And now a few other cases:

Both of these are, notably, in DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Primaries are, of course, simply for determining the candidates with the party members' favored positions/strategy for the General Election!< WINK, WINK >
