How is mail-in different from absentee balloting, other than in order of magnitude?
under absentee balloting one sends in an application to be mailed a voting form if the sender is a qualified voter they get mailed the form which has their name on it this form is sent to the address listed on the application

under vote by mail the government just shotguns out blank voter forms to the voter roll folks to the last reported address these forms are generic and anyone could use them

also the absentee forms are gathered weeks ahead of time while the vote by mail forms would flood the mail on election day

I wonder if this will become routine, the losing side, whichever, claims it was rigged.


It hasn't already?

Thankfully.  Why anyone would pretend mail in ballots is a good idea escapes me.  And/ I did say pretend.

I think we all know what’s up.
It's not only a good idea, it's a no brainer. We're in a pandemic. We are supposed to be the world's leading democracy, the best nation of them all, and we can't even properly hold an election. There is one word for it. Pathetic.

any type of voting can be manipulated

regardless of how anyone votes, mail, in person, on-line, or other - counting the votes can be manipulated

as I stated a few days ago, the US of A should be better at counting votes and making sure they are legitimate votes

A lot of things claimed to  be "no brainers" actually are rather more complex than a superficial "analysis" of the situation suggests.

But many humans like simplicity in such situations.

Sometimes things are actually quite simple. Like vote by mail.

simple or complicated is not the main concern here

anybody that knows what vote harvesting is should also know how susceptible vote by mail is to manipulation

One clear issue with any change in voting is that the losers will complain about it.  Happens even with upgrades to voting machines.

I'd like vote by mail to send me back a receipt that my ballot was received and counted, and how often it was counted.  That way if someone intercepts the ballot in either direction, I'd know about it.

And I think it's fine to OPINE that the US isn't the best country, it's an OPINION.  I don't think there can be some absolute metric.

I think it's the best country for ME personally.
