Should Every American Election Be Conducted Entirely by Mail? Mail voting is convenient and fits some states, but it loosens chain of custody and the secret ballot; choices should stay with the states and voters. Is Ballot Harvesting Harmless Help for Voters Who Cannot Get to the Polls? Letting third parties collect and return other people's ballots removes the chain of custody; many states limit it to protect voters. Should Washington Take Over How the States Run Elections? The Constitution gives states the primary role in running elections; one federal system would be a larger target and ignore local conditions. Should Noncitizens Be Allowed to Vote in Local Elections? Voting is the central act of citizenship; allowing noncitizens to vote in local races dilutes it and blurs the line federal law draws. Is Requiring Voter ID a Form of Voter Suppression in America? Most democracies require ID to vote, courts have upheld ID laws with safeguards, and free IDs plus an accessible process answer the access concern. Is Cleaning Up Voter Rolls Just a Voter Purge Meant to Silence People? Federal law requires states to maintain accurate rolls, and removing people who have died or moved, by a lawful process, protects every voter's ballot.
