This breaks entirely the expectation of a secret ballot which one cannot prove how they voted. Just the fact of your family getting a copy of how you voted in the mail could serve to intimidate many.
If you do want to vote illegally for someone else or several someone's which multiple people mostly republican did in the last go round the proof will be mailed to the criminal solving nothing.
This solves no real problems and introduces plenty. It's a terrible idea.
If you look at how the state of Washington does it they mail a ballot to every registered voters address as long as you keep returning them. You register by checking a box when you get or renew your ID and you drop the finished ballot either in the mail or in one of the many ballot drop boxes. You normally have WEEKS to fill it out before its due.
Would it really be an improvement to count the votes of folks so disconnected they couldn't check a box walk 50 ft to the mail box?
