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.
As it happens there is technology to track where your ballot is at any given moment.

Sounds complicated.

Anyway, it's merely ONE example of complexity, much like reparations and figuring out who deserves to get them.

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.
Hey some people opine that Michigan has the best football program so I understand

they are not asking you to produce a list of the top 20 or even the top 5
just provide one example of a country that is better than the US of A
None of the 25or so I've been to are better. I should make a list.

I've never been to a lot of countries, obviously, but I'm pretty sure Russia, China, Iran, Iraq, any of the 'Stans, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, any place in Central America and North Korea aren't better. This is a list that could go on and on, as a "no visit" list for me.

That's gotten quiet. What has it been? At least 5 years with no "speech" around here?

Well you've got 160 others to assess and rank.  Have at it.

I'd rather we figure out who has to pay them.

Nobody in my family ever owned anyone, never will, and never supported it. But that probably goes for 90+ percent of the people in this country??

How about the white supremist people be made to pay the freight? Or how about the countries who sold their own so they could be shipped elsewhere?

Very complicated is right.

Hasn't posted since his boys got smashed in Madison. A shame really. I enjoyed him.

I'd rather you offer up a list of better ones, and why/how.

Plausible candidates have been mentioned, places that arguably could work for some of us, if they'd let us immigrate.

Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland, the Nordic countries, Belgium maybe, Australia (where everything wants to kill you) ...

Are those countries "better" than the US?  It's opinion, personal opinion.

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.
Well we are in a pandemic and we have figured out how to do lots of things. Going to stores going to the dentist office getting our haircut standing in line distancing etc. etc. etc. we can figure out how to go to polling places and be done safely we have plenty of time. So from that standpoint you are correct in my opinion we are a great country we can figure it out

mail in voting is a horrible idea. We are talking about US Mail here which nobody will claim is accurate and efficient. And while it does open up the possibility of a very easy fraud and manipulation as has been evidenced again and again and again including very recently. the worst fear I have is that it will delay the election results and create a ton of additional divisiveness in this country. 
Do you remember how nasty everybody was during the hanging Chad ordeal?
Well multiply that by 100 when it’s every state, and the country is already polarized. 

If your worried about people not getting an opportunity, double the polling places- leave them open for 2-4 days.  Improves social distancing.
