Complete privacy is lost with mail in voting. A spouse or family member can influence, pressure, or force a person to vote a certain way. Special groups might require people to bring in their ballots and pressure or force people to vote a certain way too. For fear of some negative consequence, people may compromise their own vote. Furthermore, how do we know who is filling out the form? There is no identification check. Who in their right mind would think mail in voting is okay? The trend must be stopped. There is truly no way to research and prove that mail in voting works...because you honestly do not know who has filled in the ballot and/or if the real person voted the way they would have at a private polling site.
