Reply to comment by NewAlexandria in Pennsylvania counties can help voters fix problems with their mail ballots, state court rules by gdex86

I'll never understand how people can't figure out how security holes work. It doesn't matter if it is abused or not, the fact remains that the procedure is insecure and there are far too many hands touching everything.

Mail-in is insecure, its fact. Compared to putting your vote down and submitting your ballot at the voting site yourself, its just a huge open hole security-wise. Calling it the honor system is perfect because it relies on assuming nobody would break the law or try to cheat. That's now how it should work. Nobody should even be able to. Otherwise, its just not secure.

proof by gestalt: if there was not actually an issue, there would be no basis for so many people to raise outcry. Lying/deluded people would have had other people tell them 'shut up idiot' before the numbers got this big.

Note: this isn't an actual proof. You're just have problems and you want the internet to therapy/educate you

You have to be a troll. That lots of dipshits are in a lather over something they don’t understand does not make it an issue.

That so many people are primed to believe that the ONLY way they could lose was by fraud is the reason so many beloved this.

When you submit your ballot at the machine, its at the point of counting and should have no time or chance for other people to even touch it until its counted.

When you submit your ballot via mail, that ballot enters the mail system and follows a procedure that involves other people with access to manipulation or removal. Its really not that damn hard to figure out.

What path does the ballot take? If it isn't directly to a point where nobody but the submitter touches it, then its already insecure. That's how security works.

Ok then, count them when they’re received. Nothing about mail in voting requires they be stored for some amount of time.
