Important for facilitating fraud. I can't speak for the US specifically as I've never lived there but in the countries I know almost all cases of court proven voter fraud were connected with the postal service. Through interception of the mail, the fraudulent ordering of mail in ballots, "lost" mail in ballots that never got counted or simply because in some places the mail in ballots are counted separately and there is less oversight, so more of an opportunity to manipulate the count.
Also that doesn't even include all the cases where a relative helped the person fill out the ballot.
- hot_gril 4y agoVoting is a political hot topic in the US. Voting by mail is either 100% safe or totally broken depending on who you ask. Unlike many countries, there's nothing acting as a required voter ID here, and that's always on the platform in important races. You can register to vote with just a name and say you have no home address or SSN, of course it's illegal to lie about those things. I think people only agree that electronic voting is untrustworthy. I guess my point is, it's very hard to change how voting works here.
