Just document when mail-in voter coercion or buying votes has been a widespread problem in the last 50 years and I will reconsider. From where I sit, you and others have decided that you are against mail-in voting for political reasons and then search for arguments to show they are a problem.
Are you suggesting that mail in voting in States like Orgeon, Washington, Colorado and Hawaii are suspect in terms of integrity? Maybe the conservative voters in those States will have the courage to comment on how secure they feel their State elections are.
Lol. Of course you want the ability for left wing activists to gather thousands of ballots at a time and deliver them themselves.
Yes. Look up the 2004 Washington governor’s election where mail in ballots were used to steal an election.
If those ballots were completed by registered voters, who cares who delivers them?
And much of that probably should be returned to in person as well. Online shopping is just a way for big corporations to take money that used to go to medium sized ones that employed people. I would end online shopping with puntitive taxes if it were up to me.
You can’t possibly prove it one way or the other.
Good news. I rather liked how the recall election was handled - it was very convenient for my family.Awesome!
Id like every state to do this
Every state should also pass voter ID bills as long as its actually about VOTER ID and outlaw gerrymandering or have it done by multiple outside orgs
all current government accepted IDs should be valid for voting and if one isn't free one needs to be free and made readily available at many places including the polling place.
If the bills were actually based on ID we could have a nationwide vote by mail and voter id laws next year IMO
but for some strange reason so many Voter ID bills
limit early voting
limit mail voting
limit absentee voting
redraw districts
clos and combined polling place
limit days you can vote
outlaw bussing
etc etc . . .why?

See, conservatives argue this all the time. They think "voting is supposed to be hard" is some kind of good reasoning. It's insane.
It should require effort and prior planning.
Logistical efficiency is far greater when you have polling sites.
No, they don’t. In most cases polling site staff are volunteers.
Why? I would agree it should require thought and understanding your options but it ought not to require a person to take time off work, travel any distance, stand in long lines regardless of the weather. Voting needs to be secure not difficult.
Why not? Regular elections are the same date every two years. It is not difficult to take time off once every two years.
You are either being contrarian or live in upper rubber boot, retired and of means.
There are paid election people and also there's way more people involved. Ballot harvesting allows single sites to cover much larger areas. Universal mail-in ballots improves things dramatically, you don't need the sites at all.
Fun fact, part of the ACORN fake scandal was that ACORN was turning in voter registrations that were obviously fraudulent. Like, "Mickey Mouse" registering to vote. Here's the thing: ACORN was legally required to turn in those ballots even knowing they were fraudulent. The reason that law exists is that Republicans got caught throwing out ballots from minority neighborhoods.
So ACORN was turning in fraudulent ballots by your own admission?
First, election boards prove the valid of mail-in ballots routinely.
All they have to prove is they a signature is on the ballot. They don’t have the ability or desire to investigate whether they were filled out by the actual voter
Are you really suggesting that voters would sign a ballot that someone else completed, marking different candidates then they prefer? I would contend that the theories are getting more and more far-fetched.
I personally know people who’ve claimed just to fill out relatives ballots themselves and mail them in.
I did that for my mother when she was in a nursing home but only for candidates she wanted. Just because someone is ill or 95, like my mother, doesn’t mean they have to trek down to the polls or lose their right to vote.
