    Because up till 2018 they were saying it was the least secure method of voting.

    How am I, the policy holder not paying for it?

    This is how the process goes in my state...tell me how it is too easy to cheat....I request my mail-in ballot on line using personal information only I or an ID thief would know. The ballot can only be mailed to my address on record. Once it arrives I fill it out and send it back with my signature and it has a tracking number known only to me and I can track it as it makes its way from the post office to the county office to being processed and then being tabulated.

    I am against sending them to every one on the registration list, but luckily only 9 states do that.

    I do not agree that more people voting "skew" the numbers. I think that more people voting is a good thing, even if I do not agree with their votes.

    Why wouldn't people love mail in ballots? Especially during a pandemic? It saves time. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.

    There is an old saying "worker smarter not harder". It applies to most things in life. If I can vote from my living room in a secure fashion, why would I I not?

    Makes you wonder how this wig wearing hound got voted in! Hell the guy running for Gov was actually more attractive even then "IT".. I guess gender is the second level of acceptance when electing minorities ;)

    Go outside of a lot of things, standing a line is not really at the top of that list. The time could be spent far more productively.

    Didn't the 2X impeached incumbent loser vote by mail in 2020?

    Yes, yes he did.

    ...
    First reported by The Palm Beach Post, Trump requested his mail-in ballot for the town’s municipal election on Friday.

    The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections confirmed through its website that the former president cast his vote by mail, and that it was counted on Tuesday.

    This marks the third time Trump has voted by mail in Palm Beach as he also cast ballots this way in the presidential primary last March and in the August primary.

    LOL. No one is forced to carry their kids on their insurance until 26. It's an option for crying out loud.

    Not really a problem, but why do it if it is not necessary?

    Tell me how this is not a safe and secure way to vote....I request my mail-in ballot on line using personal information only I or an ID thief would know. The ballot can only be mailed to my address on record. Once it arrives I fill it out and send it back with my signature and it has a tracking number known only to me and I can track it as it makes its way from the post office to the county office to being processed and then being tabulated.

    Yes, the topic is why people like to vote by mail.

    So, tell me...how is this not secure....I request my mail-in ballot on line using personal information only I or an ID thief would know. The ballot can only be mailed to my address on record. Once it arrives I fill it out and send it back with my signature and it has a tracking number known only to me and I can track it as it makes its way from the post office to the county office to being processed and then being tabulated.

    Again, not a problem standing in line, but why do it if not needed?

    As for going outside, I have been a runner since I was 10 years old, still run 3 to 4 times a week, always outside never on a treadmill. I have also recently discovered the joys of hiking, amazing how different hiking is to just walking.

    So, yeah getting outside is a good thing, standing in a line when I do not have to is not a good thing

    Every US citizen who ever voted before the late 1990s or early 2000s, because mail in voting before some date in that window simply never existed before. Believe me, I'm crippled, can't stand, walk, bathe myself or dress myself, and I damn sure cannot get to a physical polling place without a LOT of help. So I do mail in voting and I'm glad it does exist. But if it didn't, I'd get my happy crippled ass out of bed, in the car, and sit in line in my wheelchair for as long as I had to.

    Then again, I've never once had to wait longer than 3-4 minutes before I got my ballot and it was my turn to go to the machine(s) and vote.

    I know in some places, at least, the lines can be long. But aside to it just being because of population growth (which we have had a lot of since I first became eligible to vote), I don't know why that is.

    Still, if people aren't willing to put up with a bit of adversity to ensure their voices are heard, I have basically no sympathy for them, nor do I really think I even want them to vote.

    I suppose, I had to pick up a card there for a poker run couple weeks back and I found it smelled of gross old men and alcohol soaked wood :(

    People who’ve been told it will result in widespread voter fraud.
    Funny how mail-in voting was never a concern prior to 2020 election.

    Well, in fairness there are a lot of old men there. Makes me feel so young to hang out there! 8)

    Mostly it is just after a round of golf at the AL course. The 10th hole as it were

    We vote largely in an antiquated third world country fashion instead of getting into the computer age and having a modern election.
