The ballots are mailed to supposed registered voters (dead, alive or moved out of state, doesn't matter) and then whomever receives the ballot fills it in and mails it back. There are big problems with that idea and easily hosed up. I have moved around many times in my lifetime, and recently moved even here. My ballot does not get to me so I don't get to vote. It goes to someone else and they decide to fill it in and send it along, or it gets forwarded and doesn't get to me in time.
SOrry, but if you can go shopping weekly for groceries or whatever or play golf, you can walk up to a SAFE voters booth and cast your vote. Lets face it, the reasoning is either laziness, fraud, crooked and or abusive to expect mail in voting to be legit. Shoot, the gov can't even get the stimulus checks sent out correctly and sent checks to thousands of dead people.
I have no problem with absentee voting, IF someone cannot get out to vote. Hardly anyone in this country can't get out to vote. Those living overseas, yes.
Get off your duff and go to the polling station. It's going to be safer than anything else you are doing when you leave your home.

No, I did not request a ballot. As a registered voter , I was sent an application for a ballot from my town, not the government. After approval, a ballot will be sent. Same as absentee. This is being done because of covid. You have to consider the volunteers not only the voters. Just who is going to volunteer? In the past, I have always volunteered to work at the polls. This year I have to consider my wellbeing.
