I've heard lots of stories about ballots being mailed to people who were dead or moved, even out of state, so why do you say that doesn't happen?pmward wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 8:36 amThey would not send ballots to someone who is dead or moved. They use signature verification to ensure it was the person that voted. Also, in person, there is a such thing as a fake id. Who says showing an ID is secure? In person is not more secure, it's just more familiar. Familiarity generally speaking is the opposite of security. Where there is familiarity there is trust, where there is trust there is guard let down, where there is guard let down there is security vulnerability. Security is part of my job, so I have to think about these kinds of things every day.pp4me wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 8:16 amIn Florida you present your ID which they look up to see if you are registered to vote. Then you go into a booth with your ballot to make your selections. So you know that the person voting is indeed, the registered voter. Checking some serial number on a mailed-in ballot doesn't tell you that the person the ballot was actually sent to is the one who filled it out. Nor does it tell you if the person is dead or has moved.
I guess they should stop asking for an ID when we get on a plane according to your reasoning then. Anybody can get a fake ID so what is the point?
And if I'm going to continue voting in person I should be able to bring someone with me to fill out the ballot for me, should I not? That sounds only fair because the mail-in voters can obviously do that.
