I think the democrats favor it because they can muster more votes because their base is less likely to make the effort to vote, and some shenanigans may ensue. Especially since mail in ballots can be spammed out to the populace, making potential fraud more possible.

But yes, both sides favor rules that favor their party.

I don't really concur with the assumption that democrats factor in possible fraud in their thought process. I see no actual evidence that their supporters are more prone to trying shenanigans. Of all the few fraud cases that get revealed, it doesn't seem as if democrats are the major culprits. If any, it's more often republican supporters that get caught (by that I am not saying they are generally more prone to fraud either). So to declare possible fraud in their favor a motive is a step too far for me, I agree with the rest.
