Even then there is no evidence that mail in ballots favor either party...at least they didn't until the recent attack on them.

And then these are the replies I got from his two buddies/ (only?) campaign staffers. All three of these people (Don, who is the candidate, and person 1 and person 2) work for the current state senator, Andy Dinniman. Andy voted to reopen the state. He voted for all the republican bills. Don's entire campaign has been basically Andy endorsed me so vote for me. If you cannot answer pretty basic questions then sheesh.

Me: Genuinely curious what Don's position is regarding the reopening and if it is different from the current office he is working in? Would he have voted for all of those house bills without amendments?

Person 1: The point here is Don Vymazal has vastly more experience than anyone in this race. It seems like you don't want to talk about that. Don has the endorsement of the local Chester County Democratic Committee (and dozens of community leaders). Don Vymazal is not beholden to Harrisburg or to the Governor and won't blindly side with the administration at every opportunity. That seems to be what Rep. Comitta is doing (i.e. Mariner East and Restore Pa.) and will keep doing if elected. Governor Wolf is only going to be around for 2 more years anyway.

Note: Don does not in fact have vastly more experience. He has never been an elected anything while the other two have.

Person 2: Let's get real for a minute here. I'm gonna be real honest with you. I support the Chester County Democratic Committee's endorsed candidates. If you can't or won't do that, what's the point? I can only imagine what your response would be if the shoe was on the other foot. If Rep. Comitta or Sen. Kearney had an unendorsed primary challenger that was running for two seats. What would you say then? What then?

The term "OBAMAGATE" is the Trump equivalent of yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater without even a puff of smoke present. It is a distraction from the utter failure of this administration. These guys are masters at throwing #$!&@ out there without any proof of anything. Remember all that Biden/Obama dirt Rudy released from his crack investigation in the Ukraine? Yeah, me neither.

Haven't Utah, Colorado and Oregon used mail in ballots for years? If there was evidence of voter fraud with mail in ballots, wouldn't it have appeared by now in Utah, Colorado and Oregon?

Their real concern is losing. While mail-in ballots may not favor either party making voting difficult does, imo.

Fear of fraud, ballot harvesting and STOLEN ELECTIONS is the vehicle. Like Werthless replied they only need promote the possibility to gain support.

I guess that part makes sense to me. Conservatives I'm stuck with in my life have stated they'd rather keep every innocent person in prison than release one person who's guilty. Well, until the justice system impacts someone like Flynn. Then heads need to roll.

the 'funny' thing the only recent instance of ballot harvesting becoming an issue has been during a Republican primary

Yup. Brought that up in my argument discussion with someone yesterday. Scored no points with it tho because the goalpost evidently moved while I was speaking.
