Just Voted. Even though I can't leave my bed due to Disability. Thank you California for allowing vote by mail! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Something that I've heard recently that's made me rethink voting by mail as a common practice. It's very common for a head-of-household husband to be more passionate/insistent on how they vote than their wife. It's also very common for the husband to vote one way (Republican) than the wife (Democrat).

It would be much easier to coerce (even mildly) while voting from home than at a confidential voting booth.
