True. Looks like Arizona allows people to drop off their ballots up to the election day.
So. They are dealing with a lot of paperwork. |

Then any ballot mailed up until and including election day is eligible, which means all ballots won't be received until about 5 days after election day. its kind of the same with places like dunkin donuts where the store is organized for for walkins, but can get overwhelmed with order ahead orders such that the total orders can easily be double the store walkin capacity for the same period of time. so some decisions sound great, but they don't scale well into operational efficiency operations guy |

Just saw that for the election for mayor of Los Angeles, only 59% of the expected votes are in - three days after the election! They say it might take weeks to get the final tally. At this point, the lead is less than 3,000 votes!
There does seem to be a problem here. |

Mail-in voting has been a thing since Colonial times. Since the 1700s, there has NEVER been a time when "everyone voted in person." People have been voting by mail since before the State of Florida was incorporated. Deployed military personnel, railroad employees, travelling salesmen, airline pilots - most of them are not in their "authorized" voting precinct on Election Day.

Where I vote you fill in a circle and place the ballot in a box that counts the number of ballots. At the end of the day the ballots run through a machine to count the votes. As long as the ballots at the end of the night match the total cast during the day all is good. Others use electronic ballots so the tallies are kept throughout the day. Anyone who is hand counting anything needs to move to the current century. Of course Trump could be out there hiding behind a curtain filling out ballots, lol.

Mail in ballots in our country are valid if postmarked the day of the election - slow mail - slow ballot count in close elections. No mystery.

Unlike Florida which is making it harder for people to vote.
Under Florida's new law, absentee voters must request a mail-in ballot every two years instead of every four years. And again, that's going to be taking effect going into the 2024 elections. And those ballot requests can even be retroactively canceled, meaning some voters might not realize that they're not automatically receiving a mail-in ballot because of that change to the vote-by-mail laws. |

Harder to vote?
Quote:
Just what is harder? People are given multiple early voting days, and if done properly mail in, and day of voting. If that's not easy enough people are just plain lazy, and making excuses. If there was a one day free 1000.00 check being given out and you had to come claim it, you bet it would have folks figuring out a way to get there, and they would do it... |

In my experience, virtually no one changes votes because of signs and ads. So why bother? Furthermore, people who believe TV political ads are so gullible that they may not be bright enough to deserve to vote.. When I have seen these ads in the past, ALL sides lie about the other side and claim to have done things they haven’t really done. Voting should be based on better information. |

I suppose AZ will be checking for creases on those mail in ballots this time around? FL dropped the hanging chads, AZ learned what from 2020?

The Reason
Quote:
Also, AZ screwed up signature verification big time in 2020 so they are being very careful (i.e., slow) this time. It all makes sense now. |

Every vote that is fraudulent or eliminated illegally denies a citizen of their right to participate in an election. There should be the highest standards of validation and verification. I would hope that most people would agree but unfortunately about half the country doesn't.
The standards to ensure integrity should be as strict as when withdrawing money from a bank. Do you think that you could go to a teller and withdraw money without some sort of ID or verification? If they used the same slack standards of some of our states NO ID rules they could. I keep hearing that there is no proof of election fraud. That is a ridiculous standard. The onus should be on election officials to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that there was not fraud. And who wouldn't suspect something is wrong when machines break down, poll monitors are thrown out, there are more votes than registered voters and ballots are dropped off in essentially unmonitored ballot boxes. And most of all when every attempt to do a thorough bipartisan audit is met with a firestorm of protest from the media, politicians and the FBI. And when you takes days and weeks to count votes then you have a very flawed system and no I don't trust them. Trust for such a vital element of democracy has to be earned not taken for granted. |
