4. And That's Why I Went Into Vole Last Time

Because there's more that can go wrong as far as instructions go. There were (Democratic) counties in my state where county election officials did all they could to make sure mail-in ballots were filled in properly. Republicans in the Legislature cried foul and wanted any ballot where voters were helped purged.

You want to make mail in more available? Then make sure the the number of voting machines (and number of voting places) are even across a state. If folks in high population areas have to wait a couple of hours to vote than folks in the sticks sure can afford to drive half an hour to vote (and possibly wait hours to fill out a ballot). I'm positive the rural Republican counties in my state have far more voting machine and polling sites per capita than more urban areas.
