(just to clarify my earlier post, i meant that individuals have to option of selecting someone to pick up their ballot for them.)
i agree, the mail aspect can be exploited. a richer operation could even set up a series of PO boxes. hopefully the officials look for these types of patterns..."consistent" voting tied to a common element of the ballots (part of the address, pickup person, etc.) it's a good thing to have built into the software. county elections can be quite close, and then we all remember florida.
and i know that you can register to vote in CA by simply having a CA address (and US citizenship).
