You are talking about early in person voting, then.

Part of the procedure should be to end as much as possible mail-in absentee ballots and early voting. Keep all the focus at one place and one time, and it'll be easier to keep it honest. Another thing that would help keep it simple and moving along is if the only votes allowed on election day were the federal ones.....President, HOR, US Senate.

I did poll worker trainer this year. It's a process I wanted to know about. All of the safeguards have created such a complex system that I don't see how any one person or one group can scrutinize the total process.

Yes, I’m talking about an option of in-person early voting, at county headquarters. Those who’ve received absentee ballots cannot choose either that or a regular vote on election day. Part of the maze is that there is regular voting, in-person early voting, absentee voting postmarked before election day, and provisional ballots for those who aren’t confirmed voters eligible to be given a ballot on election day. There has to be a better way to keep it simple enough to assure honest results.

I turned mine in absentee. Filled it out exactly as instructed, and personally took it to the post office for the proper postage and postmarking.

I didn’t think it was hard to do, but I’m sure there are those who could screw that up.

I don’t trust electronic digits, though. Once wrongly input, always wrongly input no matter the recount.

With paper, you have the physical paper that you can physically count, if you doubt the scanner.

I believed that at one time, in order to vote, you had to be able to read, write and understand the constitution. Now you don’t have to have the last part to be chief justice of the supreme court.
