Why Mail in voting is bad

Mail in voting was originally created to give disabled, senior, and homebound voters the ability to vote with out leaving their home. The people eligible to use a mail in ballot has been expanded to college students out of their state, and military personnel serving over seas. This year there was a surge in mail in voters.

Some of the people didn't know that a ballot had been filled out for them and that is a serious offense.
