I’m lucky that I’ve worked from home for awhiles and lived within a few blocks of my polling place

so I’ve voted in person for about the past 10ish years. My previous polling place was literally across the street and my current is about 5 blocks, but I’m all for making it easier for people to vote.

And when I was still in Mishawaka, my polling place was probably closer than the 5 blocks I’m at now. Definitely lucky.

Colorado has universal mail in voting. They send everyone a ballot, then you have like a month

I’ve only lived in Colorado and Washington for the past 20+ years.

Voting any other way seems so archaic at this point

As an election judge I don’t like that

Too easy to manipulate, and every ballot has to be reviewed by two workers where I live. Those are two of the reasons. If you want to use it, fine. Don’t make it mandatory. Early voting in person works great compared to the old days.

Ballot harvesting and helping people fill out their ballots, for example

I have no comment on how much this may or may not happen. In person, we have rigid rules for getting assistance while voting. Mail-in is a free-for-all in that regard. I fully trust what happens inside my polling place. Any cheating must be very very small, and actually, why bother here because competitive races are rare.

I am amused when I see the signatures for a husband and wife’s mail-in / drop box ballots and they look nearly identical.

So my MIL should not help my mostly invalid FIL fill in his ballot?*

You are welcome to share your analysis of mail-in ballots and where there might be potential issues compared to in-person voting. But I guess that would be out of sync for the board.

Potential does not equal actual. As proven several times over in numerous states, fraud is

vanishingly small. Stuff like what you brought up is scaremongering without evidence to keep voting as hard as possible for as many people as possible

So, sorry. I do not take your points seriously without serious evidence and backing data

Indeed, you never disappoint*

The opening is barely larger than the ballot envelope. Not saying it isn’t possible, but would be
