I can already see it: "They're gonna give everyone healthcare, they're gonna jail review scammers, they're gonna let anyone join a union. The monsters."

It's not an agenda against mail-in ballots, it's just a minor flaw I noticed with some friends that is relevant to the title, but for some reason I seem to have offended the gods of voting turnout by stating it in a public forum. Seriously, some people perk their ears for the littlest reason.

...But that's ok...sometimes one can trigger the immune response in a community by saying something that could be misconstrued as contrarian.

haha, leave your spouse :)

But really, I can see an abusive overbearing or just manipulative family member definitely doing this. It may not be statistically significant enough to impact an election, but there is no way to ensure there was no coercion.

When both spouses vote together by mail at home, one may want to see what the other is submitting and condition them to vote the way they want.

This is an issue with voting by mail in any country.

You can argue rehab vs punishment, but what you are being downvoted for, correctly in my view, is for comparing people who were convicted for crimes according to law directly with people who never did anything wrong in first place.

You may say that everyone who finished serving a sentence is equal to anyone else before the law, but that may not be the case in practice, there are lots of legitimate reasons for people to stigmatize e.g. if they personally don't agree with the sentencing length.

That may or may not be fair, but it is what it is.

Stigmatizing someone just because of the way they look is just wrong, people may have tastes in who they want to hang out with, but it is not equivalent to naturally fearing an ex-convict.
