The pandemic is likely going to force vote by mail in most states. And judges have been ruling in favor of vote by mail.

So you can fight vote by mail, but don't ignore getting controls in place around vote by mail.

This link has identified many recommended controls. But I think more are needed. And they should be implemented by force of law wherever vote by mail is allows.

Voting Outside the Polling Place: Absentee, All-Mail and other Voting at Home Options 6/22/2020 Specifically: Controls numbers on ballots, Tracking databases on ballots and controls on those tracking databases, and ways voters can use those ballot control numbers to review their votes and ensure they were counted correctly.

Specifically I think more controls are needed in these areas:

• Controls numbers on ballots,
• Tracking databases on ballots and controls on those tracking databases to track changes, prevent unauthorized changes, and protect voter privacy.
• Ways voters can use those ballot control numbers to review their votes and ensure they were counted correctly. Such as publishing the control numbers and the associated vote. Voters can then verify their control number was recorded accurately, and voters can see the full tally of the total vote.

Here's a link that shows how prevalent vote by mail elections already are:

Why should it? If you can go shopping for home supplies and food while practicing social distancing, why can’t you do the same in the voting booth?
