I wasn’t defending the system, I was pointing out that other states have an equally lax system. I find it...interesting...that so many swing states practically encourage vote fraud.
Anyone with a criminal mind, a few IP addresses and the names, addresses and dates of birth of shut-ins and others unlikely to vote can vote multiple times using FL’s lax absentee voter system. And they never even have to risk going near a polling place to do it. It’s a travesty.
I think that is what has been bothering me - is the lax accounting of the voting process.
This is my first election and I went over the voting process carefully last year with the County Registrar when I applied for my absentee ballot documentation.
We both decided my first vote might be more comfortable if I filled it out at home in peace and quiet and mail it in.
I saw it as being extra careful my vote would be counted and it went smoothly in the primary - but I honestly don’t know what happens here in my own state because I have never been in a voting precinct myself. Maybe I’ll go with a friend and watch how it works there....even though I will have already mailed back my ballot.
I am disappointed fraud is considered part of the result.
