.....the ballots that do not conform to their political preferences?

I am sure that there are many people who have implicit faith that their early voting mail-in ballots are counted, irregardless of whether they conform to the persuasion of the person who opens and counts them in a private setting, prior to the election.

In my thesis as stated, do you think for a minute that I believe the people who open and count the absentee ballots are all honest?

No matter how convenient absentee voting may be, there is no way I would ever trust my mail-in ballot to be counted.

Just sayin'.

I've been voting in Oregon for 10 years now, and it's awesome. We don't have near the problems other states do. Higher voting rates and other than the optiscan machines (that I think we should get rid of) my vote is safer than almost any other state.

My comment was directed with reference to elections in the USA in general, and not specifically in the State of Oregon, where I am sure you have the total knowledge for being able to state that the votes cast are "safer than almost any other state".

I'm fairly well informed. I won't claim to be an expert, but yes, I stand by my assertion. If you have evidence to the contrary, feel free to post it.
