We invited six election law experts and advocates to respond to the report and to debate the merits of all-mail voting. What follows is the first round of the exchange, kicked off by two initial responses to the report by two skeptics
of vote by mail: Curtis Gans of American University and Daniel P. Tokaji of Ohio State University.
