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 agree and there has been many cases of cheating by mail out ballots.
No, I don't think there should me mail in ballots. It creates many ways for people to hinder votes. If someone really wants to vote, they should just go to a polling place. There might not be as many people voting then, but at least it would be more accurate.
I agree and it was much easier when thye just did the polling places.
I don't think there should be mail in ballots. There is so many ways for mistake and people to take control. I think if people really want to vote and want there vote to make they should do it the normal way. There can be so many errors and ways for mistake if we do mail in ballots.
I agree and so many more mistakes have happened by mail in ballots that they should just get rid of them.
No, mail in votes are a joke and as you said can cause a lot of voter fraud. If they truly wanted to vote, they would suck it up and do it the right way. People have been caught getting rid of mail in ballots already and it is just proves how fake it can be.
I agree and they have caused more trouble then good.
I think that mail in ballots were created as a way to help older citizens and other adults, but unfortunately it has created a large room for error in elections. I do think that mail in ballots should simply be improved instead of discarded, as it is a convenient way for many to still be able to vote.
I think that they were originally meant to help but now they are just for voter fraud.
I think that there should be mail in ballots. It makes more people vote because it is more convenient for them. Some people might cannot vote in person on election day for several reasons (age, health, travel, work,...). If there is voter fraud, then maybe the system of mail in ballots should be improved instead of banning it.
