I agree. one should not use an absentee ballot unless actually unable to go to the polls. Where I vote the ballots are counted as they're put in the slot.
I’m working for the Pubs in CA. We’ve been calling all
Republicans that have voted at the polls last time. That
info is available from the Registrar of Voters. We are
asking them to consider using the form located in their
Sample Ballot, to apply for “Vote by Mail” status.
WHY? Because we get better marked ballots, as people take
more care in their own home. A big plus is that regardless
of election day demands (work, illness, childcare) they have voted!
I have no fear of ballot mischef as the system gets nailed down tighter and tighter with every election.
This is true, but even with massive fraud you can only really cheat to win in close elections. This one may not be close enough to cheat.
Plus you have to have people motivated to do cheating. It is one thing to be able to drive all over Wisconsin and vote, it is another to CARE enough to do it.
Being paid to do it is one thing, but how can they even verify the person actually did it?
They CAN cheat, but only within certain ranges.
