    It's not just inconvenient -- it's dangerous. You could get the virus at your polling place.

    I like to have the folks on the ballot in print, so I can research their backgrounds and beliefs, before voting. I cannot get this information from the liberal press. Many of those running do not even indicate which party they are in.

    I sign my mailed in document and ASSUME that the signature is matched with my  verified signature, on record. I suspect this is not done with every ballot.

    Voter ID is the most important issue we face. The Dems do not want to see this over concerns about voter fraud that they seem to encourage.

    This needs to be law! 

    Show your ID to get a mail in ballot issued, with a  personal code to include that will validate the document.

    yes, it can be.  you have those who are elderly and no longer drive.  you have those who don't drive.  you have those who work funky hours and can't get to a polling place when open.  you have those who have rug rats and nowhere to stash them for the long lines that can happen while waiting to vote.  

    then there is the fact that some polling places are inconvenient by and of themselves.  

     that doesn't even count any additional measurements that must happen during C19 and the 6 feet apart requirement./  the lines are already long enough..and who is going to sanitize every single station after every single person votes?!

    It isn’t actually about the inconvenience.  It’s about the Coronavirus and not having a lot of people standing in a line together and having the people manning the polling locations.

    True, it shouldn't be allowed without proven extenuating circumstances. The vast majority of people should be voting in a private secure location, or the election is a joke.

    The secret ballot is very important.

    With mass balloting by mail, there's no way to guarantee that a) The person who owns the ballot is the one actually filling it out, and b) That he isn't showing his ballot to anybody else.

    The people who run the polls around here are so nosey. I live in a small town. They want to hear my life story every time I go to vote and I’m sick of it. I’m voting by mail this year.

    Up to individual voters. There is zero evidence of voter fraud in mail voting.
