Absentee and Mail in ballots should be outlawed.

Absentee is done to support deployed military.

My sister is in Africa and did an absentee ballot. What other option did she have if she wanted to partake in her civil duty?

Absentee for military or handicapped people is okay by me.

In my OP you will notice I voted military.

The problem with absentee is they are now using them for snowbirds to vote in other states.

So?

I do not object to absentee or mail ballots per se, though I think that there may be some potential for fraud if these are not handled properly. For me the big issue is that we are left counting these ballots well after election day. Solution: these ballots should be cast or postmarked several days before election day so that they can be counted and reported on election day. This waiting until after the initial vote has been cast to count these additional ballots has great potential for mischief by unscrupulous election officials who want to help propel their preferred candidate to victory in a close race.

You really mean to tell me that the most advanced military the world has ever seen, a military with $700+ billion budget, can’t put a couple of voting booths on their bases and email the results to the appropriate locations?

Because voting isn't a federal process. It's state and local. How are you going to manage to satisfy voting regulations for every single state represented overseas?

That's pretty good.

Alright cuckeye... electronically transfer.

If you cared enough, then flying home once every two years wouldn’t stop you.

Because DoD civilians can just fly home when they want to right?
