Americans should use more paper ballots, instead of using methods that people don’t understand and cannot prove is accurate

It varies a lot by state. Washington primarily uses mail-in paper ballots. I love never having to visit a polling location. (In-person voting is an option here, but everyone I know votes by mail).

I don't understand why anyone would want to vote in person. I have always voted via mail-in ballot.

My anxiety dictates that I go on Election Day to vote in person. I've seen too many examples of people's mail-in ballots not being counted and mail-in has too many potential points of failure. When I can physically drop my ballot into the counting machine, I know it has been counted.
