FWIW, after living in an all-mail voting state (WA), I never want to go back to voting in person. It is amazing having a couple weeks to mark a ballot at my leisure, do as much research as I want, and then just drop it in a box (or mail it, I guess, but the drop boxes have definitely been more reliable for me).

But it's true I don't have a shrieking neighbor or brutal spouse to worry about.

serious question, how do you know your vote is counted and is not intercepted/counterfeited before that?

There will be no problems until Washington is under serious party contention.

Then, suddenly, the weak security of the postal system will look dodgy.

When, as in the CA case, ballots roll in after the polls close and magically ALWAYS flip the decision the same direction, there will be Sudden Shock and Awe.
