Good stuff !! I totally agree on the need for getting rid of mail-in ballots in all cases except for military and the homebound, but states could make mail in balloting A LOT safer by getting rid of the signature verification, which is a joke (just ask Kari Lake). Instead, if you *signed* your ballot with, say the last four digits of your SSN, then anyone who came across a ballot mailed to nowhere could do nothing with it. The people who count the ballots have a list of the SSN's (last four digits), and they verify those, not signatures.
I like it!
Riffing on Proverbs 11:1,
A mail-in ballot is an abomination to the LORD, but a verified voter identification is his delight.
Bravo, Seth! Utterly magnificent
