Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

As someone who did vote by mail, Im half convinced they’ll find some bullshit reason to discount my vote. “Didn’t fill in the bubble enough” or some shit."
100% why I think online/digital voting should be standard. It’s insane that so many people are willing to trust some Joe Schmo with their own opinions and desires over a machine that does exactly what it’s told and confirmed to work that way beforehand.
Pretty sure all voting security professionals agree that you need a paper trail to verify, in the event of data loss or hacking. Adding an online voting option would be more convenient, but also make it more convenient to foreign interests who want to disrupt the election. The added convenience doesn’t justify the risk.

Then the machine may just as well adjust your vote without you ever knowing about it.
