Drop box voting must be eliminated. Mail-in votes are drop boxes.
The real problem is that a perpetrator has no risk of getting caught. I could easily drop 100 ballots in a blue mail box or an election drop box. If 90 of them were detected as fraudulent I would remain successful with clean getaway.
Every time someone votes their identity must be recorded and checked for a duplicate vote. The entire process must be observed by election officers from multiple parties.
Mail-in voting might be possible but only with an identity check at the post office in person, certified by the resident notary, with their personal stamp affixed to the envelope. The ballot would only be opened under the supervision of multi-party officers, and it would be done early so in-person voting for the voter could be blacklisted, and the de-identified portion would remain uncounted until election day. Every ballot evelope needs a paper trail. When you walk into the voting booth, that sign-in desk is your envelope. Absolutely every voter must be identified in-person, at the time they put their ballot into the system.
What's so freaking hard about this? I've seen people walk up to the mail-in drop boxes outside the polling place and drop several envelopes. Presumably for their household. WTF. If you can go there, to drop a ballot then why can't you go in and give your ID? Oh yea, they'd know who you are and you'd risk prison. Better just drop it outside and if it gets rejected hopefully the other 99 will make it through.
