Just use paper, count by hand, and abolish mail-in ballots and you should be fine.

We’ve been using mail ballots for decades, as a voter this system is convenient and afaik hasn’t been seriously challenged. Your suggestion for its abolition aligns with treasonous players like Vought.

> abolish mail-in ballots and you should be fine.

There is fundamentally no difference between a mail-in ballot and a ballot you drop at an arbitrary box somewhere.

And enforce national photo ID finally, like all other countries. I know this is a REP take, but they are absolutely correct in this particular issue.

In other countries everyone has an ID automatically. That is a requirement to use IDs for voting. You need a proper national ID system, not the hodgepodge of random identity documents the US uses.

Correct on the idea maybe, but their implementation schemes are designed to disenfranchise those less likely to vote for them.

> abolish mail-in ballots

how then should voters who are not physically present in their voting district cast their votes?

jcarrano|4 months ago

If you moved to another district you should vote there.

If you want people temporarily out of their district to vote, then in district X you could have a box for district Y, put paper ballots in, and send the sealed box to Y to be counted. The important thing is that the vote is cast in person by the right voter and put immediately into the box.
