Question 1 of 4

Some states let any registered voter request a mail ballot; others require a reason, such as being away, ill, or disabled on Election Day.

Should your state let any voter request one, or only voters with a reason?

Any voter. No one should have to give a reason to vote by mail, or lose a vote to work or child care, even though home isn't a private booth

Only with a reason. Voters who can should vote in person, where identity is checked and the ballot never leaves officials' hands, even though voting in person takes time
