No, it is absolutely not. Although I think online voting may be


A safe option at some point, there really is no such thing as “hack-proof”. In fact talk to cyber-experts, and they will tell you that the most secure way to send a message is still old school snail mail (or I think overnight through fedex or the like, but that’s less cost effective).

The USPS has a nearly flawless record of mail delivery, when you really consider how many pieces they deliver and how much goes awry. This whole thing is just more of the bullshit Trumpian (I don’t mean you personally here - the overall Trump assault on the USPS) assault on institutions.

It’s moot at this point, because to make online voting as safe as you think it can be will take years of planning and execution. We have to prepare now for an election in a once a century pandemic - and making the USPS as strong as it can be is critical to that.
