I'm told absentee voting is a completely different system than mail-in ballots. I don't really know anything about either one, other than it originated for exactly what you're saying: our military stationed away from home so they physically can't get to a polling place. Seems people in that circumstance aren't likely to cheat, and it can be monitored really well?
It can be secure like we do it in Texas, but again... it all depends on who has control over those ballots before they’re cast and after. States like California like to make sure ALL the absentee ballots get used, whether the person is still eligible or not.

Mail in is utter bs though.
