This is why we need to push for universal mail in ballots

In my state we do mail in ballots for everyone and it's great, I can literally take days to look over the measures and people before I have to turn it in.

Yes! I live in California and my ballot comes right to my mailbox. I usually visit a polling center a block away to mail it, but I've also run out of time and stuck it in the mail. You can track if it was received with a ballot tracking system.

Voting is so easy in California. It's almost harder not to vote with this system in place. Like, you'd really have to be against it.
