Over the past year Iowa and many other states have started doing mail in ballots. Mailing ballots became a thing when some people during the Coronavirus Pandemic were too scared to leave their house to go vote at their polling place. Mailing in ballots can increase voter fraud turnout but could also help people who are not able to go to their polling place to vote.
Voter fraud is when a person commits or attempts to commit a fraud with a connection of voting, or votes more than once in an election. If a person does this they can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to 5,000 or serve up to five years. Many politicians in every level of government have claimed that in 2016,2018 and 2020 elections were ruined unfairly by large numbers of people voting illegally. Democrat and Republican parties are both guilty of voter fraud during multiple elections. The Democrats claim voter fraud by Republicans in 2000, 2004, 2016, 2018. The Republicans have also claimed Voter fraud in Democrats in 2020. The supreme court has rejected each of these hearings saying none of them had accurate or enough proof claiming Voter fraud. There has never been any ruling of voter fraud by Republican or Democratic parties as a whole but there has been around 475 voter fraud cases in the United States by individual people. This number has increased as the amounts of mail out ballots have increased.
The reason states have chosen to mail out voting Ballots is to increase voter turnout. This has increased because some voters are not feeling safe or secure in the voting process saying that they still don't feel comfortable in the polling places. Some other people, mostly elderly like to mail out ballots because they are unable to go to the polling places. Some people would rather have mail out ballots to help with the gas and time it can take to vote.
In my opinion There should not be mail in ballots because it can increase voter fraud and probably has. When a relative of mine died she still got 2 mail in ballots. I don't think that she could have been the only one that has gotten a few ballots. If we were to fill in her ballot and turn it in it would be counted. I think that it creates voter fraud and unfair elections.

I think that they need to find an efficient way to do mail in ballots and get rid of them untill they find a better way to do them.
I do not think that mail in ballots should be allowed because of the inaccurace that comes with it. There are several ways people can rig the voting. I think there should be more time to vote though because some people such as the elderly might have to wait for a time that works best for their caretakers to get them in to vote.
I agree that it can cause inaccurate votes.
I think that if we could take out mail way to vote. there would be less fraud in the voting because if we make the way to vote really secure then there will nt be any fraud in voting and it will be fair, and fair is what we need in america.
I agree that it would cause less voter fraud and make everything more secure.
I personally think they shouldn't allow people to mail in ballots. I think this because mailing in ballots could create voter fraud and unfair elections. In the US today there has been over 1,384 proven instances of voter fraud. Not only can people change the outcome of the election but we have had some troubles transporting the ballots.
I agree and it would be easier just to go out and vote at the polling places.
I think that there should not be mail in ballots. During the 2020 election there were reports of multiple mail trucks with mail in ballots that were caught at the border of the U.S. and Canada trying to take the ballots out of the country. This is just 1 example as to why mail in ballots is a bad thing. Also People can steal ballots by going through others mail boxes.
I agree and image how long they were doing it and how many ballots were thrown out.
I don't think that there should be mail-in ballots. I believe that mail-in ballots just cause a lot of controversy and problems. I think that it would be very easy to throw ballots out. I also believe that there should be mail-in ballots but the trucks that hold those ballots have a lot of cameras that cover inside and outside the trucks that cover every angle.
