I understand what you're saying, but why not just mail people the ballot information ahead of time without actually casting votes? Let them pencil it in and bring it with them?
- fossuser 6y agoThey do that too, it's just a hassle. It's easier to do it when you can also vote at the same time at home.
- phailhaus 6y agoIf you're already mailing people the ballot information, what do you gain by asking them to then come in person to the polling station? It's an objectively simpler user experience. You're asking a lot of people to research ahead of time, make their decision, save that decision for election day, and then make time in their busy workday to go wait in line to vote.
- disposition2 6y agoI like to compare it to taking a test based off of memory vs an open book test. And since this 'test' is something we want everyone to participate in (and give them the best possibility to make an informed choice), I believe mail-in ballot voting might be the best possible solution for voting.
