re: Early Voting Fairfax VA Swamp is Deep

There should be no early voting until 2-3 weeks before the election.

Ballots also need to arrive at poll closing time on Election Day.

None of this postmark crap and wait up until 5 days after Election Day to receive it.

All ballots are due at the time of poll closing. If you vote by mail, mail it a week or 2 before Election Day, problem solved.

If it can’t be mailed in time, create special ballot drop boxes at polling places, but if you do that couldn’t you just vote in person.

Here is thought since the LA Secretary of State actually has a fairly secure system and a decent App/website, couldn’t Louisiana introduce voting by App with a secure voter user ID and password mailed to a voter. If you can register to vote with it, why not take the next logical step.

Only change Louisiana would have to do is replace the binders that you sign when you go vote at your polling place with computers or tablets. Otherwise, some one devious could slip in an electronic vote and the try to vote in person. They would be caught, but with the current slate of machines, you could only remove the electronic vote as the machines we use now do not register each vote individual voters. It just counts what people press. The early voting machines may keep track of the voters, but I don’t know about the system.
