Except that voting in-person requires traveling to public places where you're seen by others, and likely walk past at least 1 security camera along the way (not to mention pinging every cell-tower while traveling). That's pretty daunting compared to filling out a bunch of voting forms and dropping them in a mailbox.
- virtue3 6y agoSo your argument is basically "Big Brother" makes in person voting more secure? Oregon has had mail in ballot the default and it's been fine. At least there is a damn paper trail with the vote by mail. All the swing states were using Diebold machines that were deemed INSECURE by california over a decade ago. And they don't have backup paper trails. We should IMHO be burning those with pitchforks and what not and going mail in voting over that. We have more issues with people NOT VOTING than actually doing extra ballots.
