Is it safe to Vote by Mail

Yes. Voting by mail is a safe and secure system that provides voters more time and flexibility to cast their ballot in case they cannot make it to the polls on Election Day. There is no evidence of an increase in voter fraud with vote by mail. For example, in Oregon, over 100 million mail-in ballots have been cast since 2000. Of those, 0.000012% resulted in fraud (that’s about a dozen total cases in 20 years). In fact, the military has been using vote-by-mail since the Civil War. The current President and Vice President recently cast their votes by mail. (Source: Brennan Center for Justice)
