And in some states, like Florida, if you vote by mail it is 10x less likely to be counted.[1]
Our democracy is broken, and the people capable of fixing it are actively incentivized to keep it broken.

- kbenson 8y ago> And in some states, like Florida, if you vote by mail it is 10x less likely to be counted The headline of that article is "If you vote by mail in Florida, it’s 10 times more likely that ballot won’t count". That's not equivalent to what you said. If there's a 99% chance your vote will count and 1% chance it won't, a 10 times more likely to not count changes that to a 90% will count/10% won't count chance. Using your wording, it would change it to a 9% will count/91% won't count chance. Those are vastly different things.
