What a great legislative body we have. Let’s strip power from the Governor, from cabinet posts, from agencies, from localities, from Indianapolis, the voters, conservationists, you name it. And forget about listening to experts or business or academia or the voters: the legislature knows best. The Republicans want to cement one party rule where the special interests of the legislators predominate. What’s next? Self-appointed committees to re-elect ‘conservative’ Republicans, with the input only of each other?
Oh great! More Republican shenanigans to dictate how people live. Before long these full-time rural, part-time legislature members, and no-time thinking, inDUHviduals are going to be dictating who is in the Indy500 and what plays Spartzballs teams can run.
This is all about the mentally insecure trying to control what everyone else does, feels, sees, believes, and can do.
Vote by mail greatly reduces the confidence that the electorate has in the legitimacy of the election. This is fueled by charges of cheating under this system by both sides. One legal voter gets one vote. Measures to secure this are welcome relief.
Vote by mail is used in several states with no problems.
If you want to improve confidence in the election, sue Fox News and its hosts out of business for spreading The Big Lie. We can only hope the voting companies with suits pending against them and their ilk are successful.
The lack of confidence was fueled by unfounded charges of election impropriety. We need to make voting more accessible – especially during a pandemic – regardless of what some might “believe”. I’m disappointed in Sen Houchin.
That is the BIG LIE. Don’t continue what 67 courts found no supporting evidence for.
Vote by mail was not full of fraud. The courts and state election boards found no evidence. This is just one more attempt to disenfranchise voters.
Vote by mail is reliable as evidenced by other states that exclusively vote by mail to INCLUDE UTAH. Added bonus, will save the state >$7M in expenses associated with in person voting.
We have a system for mail in voting. It’s called an absentee ballot. It has a proven and reliable track record. This needs to be the method used going forward as in the past. Mail in voting is easily flawed and fraught with the ability to abuse.
Explain the difference.
Typically, absentee ballots refer to ballots that are requested and then mailed when a person can’t vote in person. Mail-in ballots refer to ballots in the context of policies that allow all people to vote by mail. Opportunity for abuse in ‘mail in’ should be fairly obvious.
It seems to me the opportunity for fraud is the same both ways, as are the precautions.
You have to register to vote both ways. You have to give your signature in both cases. In both cases, the signatures on the ballot has to match what’s on the voter registration or the vote isn’t counted.
Seems to me that if you want to get rid of mail-in voting, you should also get rid of absentee voting.
