>> I only had to check one state to refute your assertion. So, are you arguing there are not substantial security holes in the mail-in ballot process versus the absentee ballot process in PA? I made no claims regarding the security of anything. The purpose of my response was to point out that your claim that mail-in ballots, per your odd definition, were used in PA was false. PA sent ballots upon request, not willy-nilly. But since you asked, I will repeat what I have written to you multiple times already over time, that the control in the system is with the list of registered voters. As long as that list is accurately maintained, it does not matter security-wise how the voter votes, whether in person or by mail. If the list is not accurate, neither in-person nor mail-in voting is reliable. That mail in ballots are just like absentee, which was CJ's claim? As for the difference between absentee ballots or mail-in non-absentee ballots, I would think that the latter would be marginally more secure. Absentee ballots are sent to someplace other than the voter's registered address, which introduces a marginally greater element of risk. I think your notion that absentee ballots are the more secure of the two is bass-ackwards. And that CJ's assessment is "close enough for government work."
