  1. @georgetakei A downside to mail voting: a controlling or abusive husband can insist on supervising his wife's vote, or even commit a felony by filling out her ballot himself.

    There's a lot to be said for the comfort and convenience of voting by mail, as one graphic meme had it, "at your kitchen table, with a cat in your lap, and a big book of information about the candidates and ballot questions provided by the state."

    There's also a lot to be said for the privacy of the voting booth.

    Anonymity is vital to protect democracy from external pressures on voters. If it's known how you vote, you can sell your vote to the highest bidder OR be punished for voting against your employer/mayor/governor/rich-asshole/anyone-else's desires.
