On Sunday were more warnings about election fraud. Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel had a story about a woman in California.

“I just talked to a voter this week who said she’s received three ballots for a different woman at her address – a person that’s never lived there. An actual ballot!”

We once got a ballot for my daughter after she had moved out. Heck, I once got a neighbor’s quarterly financial statement by mistake! We live in a seriously imperfect world.

But if YOU got someone else’s financial statement, would you try to hack into their account and drain the balance? No! You’re a good person.

And if you got someone else’s ballot, would you forge their signature and vote for all the Antifa candidates? No. You’d do what we did – destroy the ballot – because we’re good people who understand that a felony looks bad on a resume.

I think the Republicans are correct to worry that states that rush into vote-by-mail are going to make mistakes, but would those mistakes rig the election against the President? Because that assumes everyone who gets the wrong ballot decides to forge a signature and vote for Biden. It assumes that tens of thousands of American voters are crooks just waiting for their opportunity.

Well, I am not a crook. And you’re not either. I hope.
