Who decides what is "physically able"? What if you are sick with Covid and don't want to infect others? Are we going to get into doctor's notes? Do they have to be notarized and all that stuff?
If allowed? Wow. Okay. Is the 10 days including weekends?
Well, for one thing, the polling place doesn't get absentee ballots, the county clerk usually does. For another thing, if the mail service doesn't deliver the ballot on time, why should that disenfranchise anyone? So this stipulation of yours would mean that Election Day for absentee balloting is about 10 days earlier than the actual Election Day.
Sidebar: Numerous sites have done nothing but mail in voting for years. Multiple election cycles. Nobody has ever questioned the legitimacy of their elections. Why are you questioning it now?
See above...the postal service moves at it's pace.
Of all of the recommendations...this is the most ridiculous.
In November, the ballot will have dozens of candidates. At least 2 for most offices.
US House
US Senate
Governor
State Rep
State Senate
Railroad Commisioners
Secretaries of State
State Supreme Court
County Commissioners
County Judges
Judges
County Attornies
Sheriffs
State attorney generals....etc...
So if every one of these folks wants a representative to be at the polling place observing the vote counting--by hand--you're going to need a bigger boat. I recommend SoFi Stadium or something like that. You're going to have 40-50 observers standing there. Who decides who gets closest to the counter?
And now you have all the votes being counted by hand. Harris County has like 4M people. You want one person to count that? Or do you want dozens of counters? So for every hand-count, you'll need an observer...right? 40 or 50 observers multiplied by how many counters.
Again....folks have been voting by mail in multiple states for a long time...every election. We've had voting by mail by the military of over a century.
No sizable voter fraud has ever occurred nor did it occur in 2020.
Not only are your ideas idiotic, they are not necessary.
