Mail-in voting is safest way to run an election

-

It’s unfortunat­e that many Republican-held states continue to discourage mail-in voting, [Page 6, April 26, “In deep-red Utah, doubt over mail-in voting remains”]. The sanctity of the mail has held steadfast for many years and to suggest otherwise is sheer folly. The U.S. mail is still the safest way to conduct business, safer than the internet. Absentee ballots have never been a problem in the past and no irregulari­ties were found in the past election, which was a heavily scrutinize­d witch hunt led by the former president in a vain, desperate attempt to overturn an election. To accuse the government of fraud is nonsense. The use of absentee ballots and mail-in voting is safe, secure and a great way to encourage participat­ion in our great democracy.
