Letter: The chances for error with mail-in ballots
I'm not a fan of mail-in ballots. I tried it for an earlier election, and it seemed to work well. But when I tried it for the November 2022 election, it failed. After several weeks, I was wondering when my ballot was going to arrive, then received a call from an election official stating the ballot had been returned as undeliverable. We verified the address; it was correct. She told me she would send it out again, but I NEVER received it. Unlike baseball, two strikes and you're out in this situation, if you ask me. No more mail-in ballots. There's too much room for error - or mishandling.
