Well, not much alternative since they are not allowed to come home, but I do
think that the military should administer those ballots and further should
see their timely travel from the US to the members and back again. even if
that calls for them to be hand delivered to the registrar's office.
But to simply say, fuck it, we will mail them to everyone, living or dead,
leads to abuse.

Yea, and we had a pretty interesting case where it was shown in court, that
signature verifications occurred at an impossible rate, and that even if the
name was different that the name of the registered voter, it was still
accepted.
So, are there problem with mail-in voting? Absolutely. Because it is utterly
impossible to know who actually filled out the ballot, and in some cases
they don't even bother to do any check on the signature at all even when it
clearly wasn't signed by the person who's ballot it was.
