Good. Mail-in voting is possibly the least secure option we have. It should be cut back as much as possible.
No it's not. That is a complete lie and you're a fascist.
Keep up the low effort trolling pal. I'm sure all your lazy ideologues love it
Actually it is probably more secure than voting machines.
I have worked as a signature verifier for two elections in my state.
The tldr, a lot of measures are in place to make sure everything is in the open, machines and people are double checking each other to prevent machine/human error/bias, and there is a evidence trail of paper/witnesses/logs/recording.
Congrats on a argument for something else also being a shitty choice I guess?
It is very secure. Washington state has been using it for years. Every single citizen gets a ballot mailed to them for every election. It does wonders to increase voter turnout (of course, high voter turnout is largely detrimental for Republicans in elections, so they don't like this practice).
