I have a love/hate relationship with mail-in voting.
It's super convenient. You don't have to be at the polling place at a certain time in bad weather. Just fill out the form in the comfort of your home and drop it in the mailbox.
I hate it though because it really does make fraud and mismanagement easier:
- People are sent ballots for people who no longer live in the house, or are dead
