2018 midterm elections catch-all thread
That’s an absentee ballot. Direct mail voting works differently.
I’m guessing you’d handle that “child†just like you said, although voting age is past childhood. He would be guilty of forging her signature, that’s another felony.
But you’re also operating under the assumption that the “dominant spouse†topic is a thing; if it is, and “she†is that afraid, she is also probably afraid he’d see her voting in a polling place (we don’t have “booths†here, just tiny partitions I can see over and around without even trying.
No, on balance, with maybe a mailed receipt confirmation of your vote (which maybe you could contest in person if you detect fraud) voting by mail is easier, cheaper and much less subject to fraud than most of the systems in place today.

mail in voting has problems too. Dominant spouses making sure their partner votes the same (can't happen in a booth) or voting for their children or older parents. Things like that. There is a story on one of the reddit legal forums right now about a college kid that had her Dad vote straight Republican on an absentee ballot he asked for, for her and then taunting her with pictures of it. She had planned to vote straight D, her only recourse is turning her Dad in on a felony election fraud charge. How do you handle that?
