These are mostly solved problems in all western nations (except for the US). E.g. I am Austrian living in Germany and I vote by mail since a decade.
Mail voting has the downside that it invites the kind of problems where some guy tricks elderly people into giving them their vote etc. But all in all it works quite well.
>>> These are mostly solved problems in all western nations (except for the US). E.g. I am Austrian living in Germany and I vote by mail since a decade.
The US has had vote-by-mail for as long as I can remember [0]... So what is an example of a "mostly solved problems in all western nations (except for the US)" other than an example that you posted that is inaccurate?
I'm not arguing that we have solved all election problems, but it's unfair to say we haven't solved something and share a solution that your country has that our country has too. Maybe Austria does something different with their vote-by-mail system than what the US does, if so please share what that is.
The US doesn't have vote-by-mail, we have mail-in absentee ballots and they're intended to be a last resort. You can only request an absentee ballot if you're unable to vote in person. You can't request an absentee ballot simply because it's more convenient.
I'm not sure what state you are in, but that entire statement is not true in the state of FL.
Per the link I cited above as a sample reference to vote-by-mail in the US -
"Vote-by-mail refers to voting a ballot received by mail or picked up by or for a voter instead of going to the polls to vote during early voting period or Election Day. Except on Election Day, no excuse is needed to vote a vote-by-mail ballot (see Who Can Pick Up a Vote-by-Mail Ballot below)."
The key phrase being that last one, "no excuse is needed to vote a vote-by-mail ballot". There is no verbiage about it being a "last resort" and that you can only vote-by-mail if "you're unable to vote in person". The Florida Division of Elections even titles the page "Vote-by-mail".
