In the U.S. mail-in voting is a form of voting in which a ballot is mailed to the home of a registered voter who fills it out and returns it by postal mail or drops it off in-person at a voting center. Five U.S. states routinely conduct all-mail elections: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington and Utah. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic four additional states—California, Nevada, New Jersey and Vermont—and the District of Columbia have pledged to mail out ballots to all properly registered voters for the November 2020 election.

Regardless, we should implement policies to make voting more accessible
@4R82RJB4yrs4Y
Individual States should decide
@84GDKCL5yrs5Y
No, but permit absentee balloting for all voters that opt for it (regardless of reason).
@599JCD95yrs5Y
Yes, operated at the state level.
@8CS4GM75yrs5Y
No, changing the standard election process on such a wide scale mere months before an election, when there already exists examples of it causing issues on a small scale, is highly irresponsible. Perhaps in the future after the issues are worked out completely.
@88T9RGX4yrs4Y
Allow this to be decided at the state level.
@38NW3YZ5yrs5Y
Yes, but each ballot must be requested through a verification process akin to absentee-ballots.
@2HN4HSX4yrs4Y
No, it is inefficient and subject to fraud.
@77QDMZN5yrs5Y
Subsidize future technologies that would allow safe and secure online voting, that can also verify ID and citizenship status. This could be done by having a web-conference with a poll manager so that a person can verify one's legality to vote.
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
No, there is tremendous voter fraud associated with mail-in voting
@RichardYRodgers5yrs5Y
No, voting in person is a better way to maintain the security of our elections, and return to a paper ballot system.
@8BYLJPN5yrs5Y
No, this makes voter fraud much easier.
@Steve4Gov5yrs5Y
The matter should be left up to the several states.
@WanderingPagan5yrs5Y
Abolish Mail-In & Absentee Voting
@8DKN43F5yrs5Y
Yes, but only once it is less risky and less fraudulent.
@riddlecongress5yrs5Y
Absolutely not. Mail-in ballots are proven to have massive vulnerabilities to abuse and fraud. Case in point the ballot harvesting in Minnesota for Ilhan Omar.
@8GM9ZSH4yrs4Y
No, because they can be easily messed with and rigged and the traditional way of voting is much more efficient.
