Vote-by-mail and absentee ballots are ripe for fraud and abuse.
- Votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth.
- Vote by mail presents a serious and so-far unsolved problem: a broken chain of custody of the ballots. That means ballots are moved without oversight, offering ample opportunities for fraud and mismanagement.
