Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

    Where I vote, I sign a book next to my name, enter everything on a computer, which prints out a ballot. I can review what it says, and then I put it into the scanner which shows that the vote count has increased by one.

    The process leaves my “footprints” all over the system. It would be much harder to say I didn’t vote in this way, than if my mail-in ballot “got lost in the mail.”

      you can track your mail in ballot, but I do like what you’re talking about, leaving physical recordings and evidence of you voting.
