20. The USPS is many things- secure is not one of them

The USPS has a loss rate for mail that while low if you think about mail is way to high to be tolerable for lost votes.

There is no secure chain of custody for regular USPS mail. When paper ballots are used in an election they require two people have eyes on them at all times to assure there is no tampering and no ballot box stuffing or other irregularities. The USPS has none of that.

You see stories every year of postal employees busted for trashing mail or storing it instead do delivering. And that is just the ones that get caught and get publicity. If is that easy for it to happen out of laziness then it's clear that the system is not secure and that someone with the intent of messing with the election could just as easily do that to ballots.

For USPS to be considered secure for transfer or evidence for something like a criminal investigation you have to use Express or Priority mail with tracking and require a signature on delivery. That's not going to happen with every ballot in the country.
