    Sometimes I lose my ballot before I get a chance to fill it out?

    Other than that, no. I love vote by mail.

    It beats the hell out of standing in a long line outdoors in November. I'm surprised anyone votes in places that require that.

    best voting system ever. Honestly if I had to skip work and stand in a long line I wouldn't always get around to it.

    I love the mail in ballot...except for that 20sec cold blast when I roll down my window to drop it in the ballot box....other than that I like that I can take my time and read through the info as I vote, which I won't spend so much time doing at a voting booth

    IT'S COMPLETELY BOGUS. NO SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT ILLEGALS AND DEAD PEOPLE FROM VOTING.

    NO SAFEGUARDS TO ASSURE SENIORS UNDER CARE FROM HAVING THEIR BALLOTS USED BY OTHERS.

    Oh, I forgot another great thing about it. Conspiracy theorists don't like it.

    Someone needs to whisper in Trump's ear: "imagine how much you'll win by if every state does this!"

    It's pretty damn good.

    If you live in Multnomah or Clackamas counties you can go online and sign up for even more security options and features. I get a text when the ballot is sent out, a text when my ballot is received, and a text when my ballot is counted. It makes it SOOOOO MUCH EASIER for me because I normally am using 7 or 8 aliases each election. A few times in the past I've accidentally voted twice under the same name. Doesn't happen anymore with these new features.

    In my opinion, I would prefer that people use their SS ID # , their Tax ID #, and / or their drivers license ID #; and then vote either by mail w/that info ON the ballot tied to a number you can track, or via Internet through a .gov site hosted by the Feds.
