Mail-in voting was banned in 1975 amid fears of potential fraud. In America, mail-in voting was expanded in 2020 in the hope of potential fraud.

With paper ballots there can still be some chicanery but it requires a lot more resources and is more easily detected by observers as it happens. It is not likely to change the outcome of elections above local contests.

It is a long shot as modern French folks tend to stay with what they have already no matter how much they demonstrate against the incumbent. They want the King to treat them better but are leery of changing dynasties.

I wish we could be that honest here in America, the World’s Newest Turd World Country.

France could teach the American idiotS a pretty big lesson with this. This is the correct way to run an election. MACHINES AND COMPUTERS SUCK AS DO DROP BINS AND MAIL BOXES. They are only used by true dumpster fire countries.

We have an excellent system in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania:
- Mail-ins must be counted and reported first. Anything in after the polls close does not count with few exceptions (think overseas military ballots).
- Registered voters receive blank thermal paper when the vote in-person.
- They make their choices at a private marking booth.
- They turn them in through a scanner which records the vote and drops them into a sealed ballot box that the precinct judge delivers to the courthouse at the end of the day.
As a result, we get the speed of machine counts and the safety of paper ballots and NO magical votes that get dropped and counted the morning after.
We are a reasonably large county with roughly the same land area as the State of Rhode Island and 380,000 population. If it can work here, it should work anywhere.
Paper ballots isn't a cure-all. A friend of mine who was a volunteer observer for the GOP tells me that all their observers get to do is see people from several feet away in a glassed in room stack and count ballots. Whether their count is legitimate or not, only the people actually in the room doing the counting know for sure.
The triple check process we have in Westmoreland country (machine count, backed up by paper ballots, checked again at the country level with actual observers from all interested parties) is far superior.

The party operatives who count the votes add a handful here, a handful there, and suddenly, their guy wins.

Some places don’t want honest counts unfortunately. They only want power and control.
