Have you used mail-in ballot voting in Our elections?
 
If so, what do you think about the integrity of this system? And was it easy or difficult to use?
See mail-in ballot info reference below.
 
I have voted in person in the past but recently used mailing voting.
You have to be careful to put the completed and signed ballot in the inner envelope and then put that envelope in the larger outer envelope. Sounds simple but first timers should Take their time.
 
I wonder how lengthy the ballot will be for the autumn midterm elections.
When I voted in person I always used early voting and went within the first few days of the start, to avoid the long lines.
 
If the ballot is lengthy, it will greatly increase the time waiting in line, I noticed last year when I voted in person, that some people had no clue what was going to be on the ballot, and what they wanted to vote for.
Also,I heard while I was in line that Some people had different addresses on the ID they presented, not the same as on their voter registration in the machines. Some had moved to a different county and had to do provisional voting which took a lot of time and made the waiting line longer.
The court ruled that the USPS may require states to turn over voter rolls before mailing out ballots.

@Pecan7: I never have but my an has. He was deployed and that was how he could vote. Honestly I think mail in voting should be very minimal and limited to those that have no way to vote in person. I kind of chuckled at one of the issues you saw with in person voting was because addresses were incorrect. So does that mean if they did mail in ballots their ballot would have been sent to someone else that could have voted?
 
With all the information provided online and by the counties I do not understand why people can not come prepared. When I have voted here in Frisco I've always done early voting and never waited more then 10-15 minutes.
 
On that note, I think some states start early voting way too early. I believe some offer it up to 2 months in advance. A lot can happen in 2 months to change one's mind. .
