Mail in ballots don’t get rid of secrecy, unless the system has been tampered with, which you could also do with illegal cameras at in-person voting etc. Anonymous envelope-within-envelope is a pretty standard way to keep secrecy, and many states do it, like mine.
- eagleal 14d ago> Mail in ballots don’t get rid of secrecy They mean voter buying cases, "paying you to confirm a vote for X" and see you check the card. In ballot cabins the buyer can't come with you inside the booth to confirm, so your vote has verifiable privacy/secrecy. It doesn't really solve all type of vote buying problems (like clientelism lists, etc), but removes that confirmation step.
- Paradigma11 14d agoIs that really a problem? Since there will be lots of evidence and criminals tend to fuck up quite a bit this should be well documented. Unless you think that those election fraudsters that buy tons of votes from civilians have better opsec than drug dealers and the like.
