I am thinking about the upcoming Presidential election in November, and all of the controversy about mail-in voting. 

Now, many Americans have no clue about how Presidential elections are run. They are administrated locally, your state decides when the polls will open, how the voting will take place, and the results go to state officials—who then send them out to the Electoral College people.

The election is overseen by the FEC—the Federal Election Commission—but it is the states that make the rules. Remember the craziness in Florida with Bush the Younger and Al Gore?

Now, there is a move for more mail-in voting. 

First of all, we need absentee voting. If you cannot show up at the polls, you have to be able to vote by mail but there’s a deadline for that. 

With mail-in voting you are inviting chaos because some of those mail-in votes are not going to get to the right place, some of them will be discovered after the vote count and then you will hear—every vote must count.

Now, most of the mail-in stuff is coming from the blue states but I can guarantee you if there is massive mail-in voting,  the presidential election will be impacted and there will be chaos come November.
