#Votingbymail compromises the #SecretBallot and states must take steps to protect every voter’s right to cast a secret ballot, free of intimidation and undue influence.

Voting by-mail prolongs processing,
counting and delays determination of election
results beyond current statutory deadlines for
certification.

Where #VoterRolls are not well maintained,
ballots are mailed to ineligible addressees and
voters are often mailed more than one ballot.

Automatically mailing a ballot to all registered voters is an open invitation to fraud because the ballots are necessarily sent to voters who have moved, died, or are otherwise inactive.

Standards for Voting by Mail

Voting by-mail compromises the secret ballot
process, which has been a hallmark of U.S.
elections for over 100 years. Voters are
vulnerable to intimidation and pressure tactics
by individuals involved in campaigns.
