Voters there will be deciding who will replace Elijah Cummings in the House. But they’re doing things quite a bit differently than usual this time around. To avoid exposing more people to the novel coronavirus at crowded polling places, Governor Larry Hogan ordered that the election be conducted using mail-in ballots. Smart move, right? I mean, you’re not going to catch COVID-19 sitting at your kitchen table and filling out a form. But there’s one small hitch in this plan. Okay, it’s not really “small” at all. Hundreds, if not thousands of people still hadn’t received their ballots by last Thursday and it takes, on average, five days for the ballots to reach their destination after they are dropped in the mail.

Should absentee ballots then be made illegal? USA Today reports, “Two-thirds of Americans support voting by mail as an alternative to voting in person on Election Day during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new poll from USA TODAY and Suffolk University.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody from afar can interfere and I think that you knew that when you made your post. Not all technology is good if it can be put to corrupt uses. Simply take the current generation voting apparatuses and put them out in the shed next to the salt spreader for the town. With any luck they will rapidly corrode to the point where they are gutted for reclaimed metals and the rest of it sent to the landfill. Lesson learned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Representatives from any interested political party can be on hand to monitor for irregularities. The few dozen mail-in ballots could be double checked for authenticity. Voting is so important that a nation such as ours should push for at least partial time off on election day to insure maximum participation.
