Right, this is an awesome feature. I got an email saying my vote was received and counted.
Yep - this is an anti-fraud tool that Democrats support wholeheartedly... something both sides can agree on perhaps? I am not sure where the GOP comes down on this issue, but I’d have to imagine they should be for it.

So, they found all the missing ballots despite an insane guy robbing a post office for some reason. Looks like they are doing an incredible job. Did you note that he didn’t steal ballots specifically, but just somehow stole a bunch of mail? Probably stole all sorts of important Mail, including paychecks, bills, Court notices, etc.So while you all are celebrating how secure CA mail-in ballots are:
CA police find 300 unopened recall ballots, with gun, drugs and mail, in man's car
More than 300 unopened vote-by-mail ballots for the recall election were found - with a gun, drugs and mail - in a car parked at a Southern California store.
But I am almost positive he wasn't up to no good with these.
You really don’t know how vote-by-mail in CA works, do you? Didn’t you just comment on the fact that voters get an email when their ballot is submitted, and can track their ballot online too?
Not a single ballot was tampered with, just dumped in the back of the car along with other purloined mail. I suspect he got all of the mail from a relay box.
More hyperbole about fraud that doesn't exist. Is this what Fox and their ilk are running with now? Man, you guys need to come up with some real conspiracies.
No, it really isn't. It's hyperbolic right wing rhetoric where they keep trying to create a problem where one literally doesn't exist.
Ok, if this is truly a problem, do you believe all vote-by-Mail should be illegal? How will military members vote? Or don’t we deserve a vote? The mail is quite secure, but it is possible a crook could steal the mail. It’s also possible a crook could break into a voting precinct and steal in-person ballots. Somebody could murder the politician that won the election. These are all possibilities. But there are plenty of safeguards to minimize the risk of any of them happening. Get real.

This was about mail theft. The past couple years the USPS have changed out old boxes for newer, more secure boxes because of an increase in mail theft. This particular case doesn't appear to be targeting mail-in ballots. The report you linked states: "Police say they also found multiple California driver's licenses and credit cards in the names of other people." Should we stop issuing Cali driver's licenses and credit cards as well?
Of course there'll never be online voting. I mean how would we be able to find traces of bamboo on ballots!
Since most people want voter ID anyway, a physical Smart card plus PIN would be a very secure way to vote. Unless you have the card physically connected and you have the correct pin for that card, you cannot authenticate.
Forgot to add: maybe not everybody wants a card reader at home so you can still vote in person or by mail. But online should be an option. We trust online banking with millions of dollars, but you can’t vote online????
