Does anyone know why mail-in paper ballots are not the norm in the US?<p>Since I've been of voting age, that's all I've used and its great. I can take my time, read about the measures and the candidates, then make my decision and throw it in the mail. Even if I wait until election day, I'm able to go drop it off at one of the many drop off points across the city.<p>I'd be far less likely to do it if I had to take time to go to a polling location, wait in line, then figure out what I'm voting for.
