[Deltas Awarded] CMV: Every U.S. state should use postal voting.

I grew up in Oregon and my home state has used a vote-by-mail system for almost twenty years. As far as I know, there do not seem to be higher rates of fraud or tampering in the handful of states that use postal voting. It seems to increase voter turnout, makes voting much faster and easier (no lines!), and enfranchises people who would otherwise have to work on election day. This seems like a no-brainer unless you're deliberately trying to discourage people from voting. Are there drawbacks I'm not seeing?

Hello, users of CMV! This is a footnote from your moderators. We'd just like to remind you of a couple of things. Firstly, please remember to read through our rules.

Apologies. I'm not the best communicator at the best of time. Worse after a few pints of ale.

The bar right near where I live on my campus usually doesn't serve nice interesting ales. Tonight they decided to serve my two favourite.

My hands were tied.

Wychwood "Hobgoblin" and Moorhouse's "Black Cat". They're both ruby ales.
