According to this, “All mail elections” are not different from “mostly mail” elections, and doesn’t preclude the use of in person voting.
You can’t vote in person in Oregon. There are no voting booths in the state. It is ALL done by mail, the way I heard it.
“Casting a ballot at a polling place” is not “voting in person”. I sometimes cast my own ballots (California) at polling places. That is, fill in the ballot at home, and drop it off at the polling station instead of mailing it. Voting in person means there is a physical voting booth that you enter, close the curtain, and THEN make your voting choices, in an environment where no one else can see them. Poll workers are supposed to make sure that nobody goes into the booth with you, with some exceptions for disabled people (there are similar exceptions for absentee voting in non-VBM states). It’s against the law to photograph your filled-in ballot inside the booth, though in the phone camera era that has become near impossible to enforce.
Please no, imo that’s an incredibly fucked line of reasoning
It is what you have to do in a secure system. Voting (like retail loss prevention) is of course a security vs convenience trade-off, so you might choose to allow the insecure approach at least some of the time. Again, a person with their eyes open has to be aware of all the issues and reach an informed conclusion. See:
