That is the problem with mail in voting. I consider myself in my right mind, but I have a huge problem with mail in voting. I don't have a problem with absentee voting, if the voter has sent in a specific request for a ballot with verifiable information that they are eligible to vote.
If someone has committed a felony, they won’t be a registered voter. In Florida, you have to request a ballot, they don’t just send it to everyone and you have to ask again after so many years and utilize it or they won’t send it to you again. Very safe in Florida
