About Those Bullet Ballots

[Sympthsical]

107. It's because we changed to mail

16 million people voting, most of them by mail. First you have to wait for them to all come in. A ballot can arrive up to 7 days after election day and be counted. Then they have to be sorted through. And there can be so many errors that involve curing. Like no signatures, using the wrong envelopes, etc. etc.

You want people to be more participant in elections, but it's created this massive headache when it comes to counting, because tabulation, verifying, ruling out duplicates, etc. is an extremely thorough and tedious process they go through. And statute gives the state a long time to do this. I think the curing deadline is like Dec. 1st and other stuff is 30 days after election.

So they're not exactly being prodded to get it done quickly.
