I don't see how it could lead to fraud unless someone in your own house who knew your ss# and DL# sent it in. I thought you had to be in the military and stationed oversea's or something to do this, gld you don't. May be a MN thing as it was pointed out in the letter you don't need a reason to request one here, I think it will get more people voting as they don't have to leave home and stand in line somewhere, and we can all agree how important this election season is.
