where we have an all-mail ballot (though there are still some secure boxes scattered around the state, for people who want to deposit their ballot directly.)

Oregon and CO also have mail-in. It's too bad it isn't like this everywhere. The only downside is it takes longer to tabulate our votes, because many of them are delivered to the elections facilities up to a few days after election day.

This is the turn-out most states would have if there wasn't so much voter suppression.
