you're vetted and have to request a ballot. Gotta give a reason why you need one. it's not just bulk-mailed to everyone on a voter roll hoping that everyone who got one was a legal, alive voter and still lives in that district
Just say you’ll be out of state. That’s what I do every year cause I travel so much I never know if I’ll be in state or not. I mail it in even if I’m in state to avoid the lines. Not like anyone checks to see if you’re home.
With an absentee ballot, you yourself have to contact the Board of Elections and specifically request an absentee ballot before you'll get one. You fill it out and mail it back in. Signatures are compared because there are a relatively small number of absentee ballots used and they are usually sent in well ahead of time - that's the whole point.
With a mail-in ballot, you can ask for one; you can put yourself on a Permanent Early Voting List and automatically get one before every election; or, in some states, like California and Washington State, ballots are automatically sent out in mass mailings to anybody still on the voter rolls - even if they died, moved out of state, or are really a cat.
Once those ballots are mailed back in, there isn't the time or the manpower to check signatures on literally millions of ballots. That means there is no verification that the person who signed it was the person who was supposed to have it - or that's it not a duplicate.
So, if you moved out of state last year, the Board of Elections there could send a mail-in ballot to your old address. If the new resident gets your ballot, there's nothing to stop them from filling it out, signing your name, and mailing it back in. And no reason for it not to be counted because remember, there is no verification being used (VoterID is racist so we don't have that.)
This is why the Democrats want Vote-By-Mail so bad. This is why you should just say NO to Vote-By-Mail. Always vote in person if you possibly can.
You just download the application and send it in. It’s not hard. If people are afraid of the wuflu they should just do that. Then we get a high voter turnout and no one has to feel like they’re in harms way.
How is absentee ok? You mail that in too
