@jolly I am quite sure what a serial number would do. I am not understanding. Would this be to ensure that fake ballots are not printed?

Yep.

Print ballots on the same paper money is printed on, with the threads and such. And gave each state include a nonreplicable hologram like the drivers license and larger denomination bills. And back it up with a detachable serial number card.

Or do away with/severely restrict mail in ballots.

I'm pretty sure British ballot papers have serial numbers, but they're not allowed to be linked to an individual without a court order.
It seems to me that both sides of these discussions over-do the hysteria. On one side you've got people saying it would lead to intimidation, which it almost certainly wouldn't, on the other side you've got people claiming there's a ton of election fraud, which there almost certainly isn't.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I've never worked in some bloody awful little voting station somewhere and you wouldn't believe your eyes, and let's not forget those two black guys with billy-clubs that time got Obama elected.
I also don't really see the problem with serial numbers or voter ID TBH, but there's also this narrative about voter suppression which clearly existed years ago.....

The issue is more important than the solution. Compromise… Put some reasonable restrictions on mail in voting with reasonable safety precautions. Require ID for ballot access, but also make Election Day a federal holiday. Reasonable compromise to enhance security AND participation, but both parties will fight it tooth and nail because the issue is more important than the resulution…

Yeah for example in the 2020 election, Republicans committed more fraud than Democrats and even though we still lost, it's a reminder that it is possible, although not as widespread overall as you might think.

Nkpe. Republicans got caught more than Dems. The best Dem machines in the big cities. Ask George if a fraudulent vote ever occurs in Chicago.

And never, ever send someone a ballot they did not request.
