General Discussion

Oregon has been voting by mail exclusively way before the pandemic. They have one of the highest voting participation rates in the country, so the proof is in the pudding.

What I am irritated with is our drive-through culture that we have to have immediate final results of a very vital and important election process. What is wrong with taking the time to get it right? We fully tolerate being bombarded for several years in a way too long election cycle and yet we need to know the results that night? I will ask you why?

It is because we have no patience and we need to have everything right away. But it takes a while to count ballots and make sure and verify that the voting is correct and secure. I think it makes our elections even more secure rather than rushed.

I order my mail in ballot but often just turn it in at the polling place because I do enjoy election day. However, I am an old person and that’s just what I’m used to. But so many people just want to do it easy and that’s OK too. The President of the United States has voted by mail for years so it’s pretty freaking hypocritical that he rails against us because he knows it allows for convenience, which increases voting participation. That’s what this is attack all about.
