i took my time last night filling out the form, sealed it up in an envelope, and then my boyfriend dropped our ballots off in one of the designated dropboxes across the city on his way to work

would have just mailed it with a stamp in if it hadn't been right before the deadline! but in any case: it was fucking easy and every state should have this

no lines. no waits. no blocking out time during a work day. no getting fucked with at the polls. (voter registration is automatic in oregon if you go to the dmv)

unlike the perfect and wonderful on-site poll system that's definitely not being abused along color lines all across the nationhttps://twitter.com/umbernhard/status/996540032180801537 …

everything is a security nightmare, assholes, this is our modern reality

disenfranchising people is one way to reduce attack surface, sure

the threat isn't fraud, the threat is suppression, this is empirically borne out

Yes, and there's real evidence of polls being unevenly distributed to make it harder for POC to vote plus other shenanigans, you can't just go "but security!!!!" with a bogus threat model that assumes the wrong desirable endshttps://twitter.com/scottaw/status/996543582696689664 …

Lead by King County, Washington State just started providing pre paid postage for your ballot!https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/state-funds-prepaid-ballot-postage-for-the-2018-elections-king-county-miffed-over-reimbursement/ …

I
have
been
pushing
for
this
for
years - the stamp is a poll tax! And young people don’t have stamps. -
it's a great idea! the dropboxes (the one nearest me is at a library) i think work pretty well but the prepaid stamps would be better
-
They are better, in my opinion. Vote by mail did not increase turn out as much as expected in WA. I hope adding the stamp does.

I think Colorado has had it statewide for as long as I've been able to vote, it's great! I've never needed to show up at a particular time and place to vote.
-
I love it, my ballot just arrives, I fill it out and drop off at the rec center down the street.

There’s a lot that we get right when it comes to voting.https://m.gazette.com/how-colorado-became-the-safest-state-to-cast-a-vote/article/1625745 …
