Reply #22: absentee votes are where the fraud is [View All]

Traditionally absentee ballots are where fraud is more likely to take place since there is no way to verify that:
The voter was not intimidated or coached
The vote wasn't lost
The vote was kept secret

In the short term a paper ballot (not receipt) is definitely the way to go

So the concern that the original poster put forth is a red herring since it has nothing to do with the proposed solution.

In the long term a vote that could be checked by the voter after the fact (only in a controlled environment) has some merit, but given how fundamental of a change to our democracy this is I'm certainly not ready to jump on it with out more thought and widespread review.
