$14 per ballot for the US Post office to handle the Junk Mail voting.
The US has 332,527,548 people of which 255,533,643 are over age 18 BUT only 235,096,816 are eligible to vote...i.e. prisoners, etc..
Now how many people WILL actually be voting?
In 2016 138,847,000 votes cast out of 250,056,000 population
So using the same number of votes cast the cost of the JUNK-Mail voting JUST from the USPost office... $25 per mail in ballot.
Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail.
But PILF obtained voter data from Oregon, the first state to adopt voting by mail exclusively, for the 2012 and 2018 elections and checked it against census data. Of the 7 million ballots the state sent out in those two elections, some 871,000 ballots are totally unaccounted for.
57.2 million in 2016,
!
So based on the above number 57.2 million mail in ballots or at the cost of $3.5 billion divided by 57.2 million or a cost of $60.55 per mailed in ballot.
