BRACK: Will current dilemma cause Georgia to consider voting by mail?

BRACK: Will current dilemma cause Georgia to consider voting by mail?

By Elliott Brack  | Any time a situation is developing, once a leader has the facts, a good leader acts quickly.

That’s what Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger did in mailing absentee ballot applications to all Georgia voters this week. Anticipating continual coronavirus problems possible on the May 19 Georgia primary, he took action to allow voters, if they choose, to vote by absentee ballot, which is essentially voting by mail.

BASS: Could Georgia one day adopt Oregon’s Vote by Mail system?

BASS: Could Georgia one day adopt Oregon’s Vote by Mail system?

By Jack Bass, Charleston, S.C. | Oregon’s system of Vote By Mail offers a model that for South Carolina would save millions of dollars to buy new voting machines, avoid long lines for voting, and insure total security for elections results.

It is used for all elections: federal, state, and local, whether primary, general or special, and has been in operation for roughly 25 years. One result is increased voter participation by working parents and senior citizens. The system makes voter fraud virtually impossible, and research has shown that the system favors neither party.
