22. Voting by mail is the best idea ever.

Aug 2024

Oregon has had it for over 20 years, and it has been a huge success. Who would EVER want to go back to in-person voting or electronic voting after having the convenience of voting at home, going over the voter's pamphlet and picking whoever the voting person wants or voting on an issue.

ALL states should have vote by mail, not just absentee voting. There is no evidence at all that voting by mail inherently benefits Democrats, and that is the biggest objection Republican politicians have to it.
