â– Sure! The only downside is that poll workers will become unemployed, but what a savings to the city and county.
â– YES. It would save money by not having to pay local poll workers as well as giving the Post Office more business.
â– No. It would effectively reduce the number of voters. We need as many voters as possible to overcome the vocal minority and special interest groups.
â– No. We still take my daughter wth us to vote. She is in high school now and we have taken her since she was about 5 or 6. It is important for kids to see us actually voting at a poll.
â– Yes. This saves time, resources, money and may guarantee more voter participation because it is so easy.
â– No! Absolutely not! Our freedom to choose includes the freedom to vote at the polls.
â– No. It would be difficult for those that are set in their traditional ways! However we could have less polling places!
â– As long as the postage was prepaid.
â– Yes, I think the trend might be moving in that direction. Bad part is that the participation may go down. Some just have to go to a polling place, and if individuals don’t get their ballot in the mail in time they would have to go to the poll anyway. I think the option needs to continue to be offered and when we reach a majority using the mail, then the need for the polling places goes away.
â– Yes. As a permanent absentee ballot voter for years, I find that vote-by-mail is easier, less stress and no waiting in lines.
