re: #223 Belafon

Wouldn’t voting by mail be really susceptible to husband’s pressuring their wives to vote the way they wanted?

My wife tells me how I should vote. /s

Presumably a husband could pressure a wife on how to vote. With polling, if you were married to a jerk like that, he could also prevent her from going to the polls. The problem is the jerk, not the method.

My wife says she only voted once by absentee ballot before moving here (to protest Diebold voting machines). She always voted in person.

I have never voted at a polling station in my life. All the time I was in the Navy it was by Federal absentee ballot, homeless people don’t get to vote, I missed the 2008 election because I could not provide proper ID to Oklahoma in time.

When I moved here Nebraska was already doing mail voting in rural areas.
