You can only vote on one answer.
I’ve in favor of every state sending a voting package automatically to everyone who is a US citizen which includes voter registration forms and a ballot and a return envelope that self seals, no licking. Send out six weeks before election. Cutoff return date three weeks before election date. Announce results on election date. I’d have no prepaid returns, voters add their own return stamps. Eliminate voting in person. Work on an online OPTION elections.

I think everyone should automatically get a complete mail voting and registration package in one shot and not just those who specifically request it. The onus on filling out the paperwork and sending it back is on the citizen. Doesn’t seem like a huge burden for citizens.

I love it, but Republicans won't.

They’d be stupid not to. Even with that there are many who won’t be bothered doing the paperwork getting a stamp and putting it in a mailbox. I think you’d see nearly universal support. @MistyCee
@jackjjackson Amongst voters, maybe, IF Fox et al don't start repeating Trump's lies about millions of fraudulent Hillary votes.

This is one of the things the House snuck in that Republicans complained about.

There’s no need to take it there. I’m simply trying to come up with a fair all inclusive if they want to be streamlined process. Do you think the return envelope should include a prepaid stamp? How about my self sealing as opposied to licking the seal envelope idea? @MistyCee
@jackjjackson it all sounds good to me. The hard part is going to be the counting

Think of all the now not busy poll workers. @MistyCee
@jackjjackson The folks who work at my precinct aren't exactly efficient. They're honest and nice, but not really up to par with computers.

All the ballots just have to be run through scanners. If it’s all by mail they go to the same place. Picture a room of scanners and people EZPZ as long as they are honest. @MistyCee
@jackjjackson Higher voter turnout tends to favor Democrats, which is why most voter suppression is done by Republicans. Case in point, the 2018 gubernatorial election in Georgia.
