Here in Oregon, the “vote by mail” system has been in operation for many years. It’s efficient, effective, inexpensive, provides a way to check for a legitimate signature on the envelope around the ballot, and is very resistant to malfeasance on the part of voters OR the ones who tally the vote.
Oh, and by the way: We receive our ballots by mail, but we don’t have to mail them back: The USPO would make us buy a stamp and that’s an illegal poll tax. So we have our choice of mailing them or dropping them off at one of very many lock boxes. So there’s no way that a failure of the mail delivery system would impact most of us.
