I can't even with this
Why can't you?
Would you like an example to further explain what I mean? Here we go:
My home has an alarm system. If I leave for 2 hours, I turn it on. If I leave for 2 months, I also turn it on.
My house is just as secure for the 2 months I'm gone as it is when I'm gone two hours. But wait! That's not the whole story.
If I post on Twitter that I'm going to the dentist for 2 hours, and that the rest of my family is gone, will my house get broken into? Very unlikely. The opportunity simply isn't easily there.
However, if I post on Twitter that I'm taking my entire family on a trip for 2 moths, and my house will be empty, there is a MUCH GREATER chance that it will be broken into, because the ease and opportunity to do so is much larger. This is even true if we select a random 2-hour period from this 2-month timeframe, and look at the odds of a break-in compared to when I'm actually only gone 2 hours.
Yet it's the same security system in both cases. Get it now?
Similarly, if I am Joe Trumphater, I'm much more likely to mail in someone else's ballot which lands in my mailbox (especially if I know they've left the area) than I am to show up in person and impersonate another voter. I'm also far more likely to mail in that received ballot than to fill out bogus absentee registration forms months in advance.
When the opportunity to behave badly lands in a human being's lap, he is much more likely to act badly than when it requires effort to deviate from acceptable behavior.
