    Nice!

    I still find it weird that voting by mail is not more common in the US (and other countries). Here in Switzerland, 90% of votes are done by mail and it works great.

      Something that I’ve heard recently that’s made me rethink voting by mail as a common practice. It’s very common for a head-of-household husband to be more passionate/insistent on how they vote than their wife. It’s also very common for the husband to vote one way (Republican) than the wife (Democrat).

      It would be much easier to coerce (even mildly) while voting from home than at a confidential voting booth.

      I’m Swiss too (dual citizen with US) haha. And yeah man it’s so much easier to just get the letter without even needing to register to vote or whatever. Automatically get it when you turn 18 and an election comes up.
