If i read the article right, 21 % of the mail in votes were disqualified due to voter stupidity.
Another article that I read the other day, surveyed 10000 people under the age of 30, and reported that 51% of those surveyed didn't know where to get a postage stamp to mail in a ballot.
If you are going to encourage mail in voting, be prepared for the backlash when people start hearing about all the ballots that are disqualified because people are too dumb to figure out how to fill out the form properly.
I remember reading about young people not only not knowing how to buy a stamp but how to address an envelope and how to stamp it.
I guess I shouldn't judge, my niece didn't know how to read an analog clock for a loooong time, she'd just run into her parent's bedroom to see the digital. That seemed pretty weird to me too since they taught us in fucking kindergarten how to tell time.
I used to laugh at my grandmother, because she didn't know how to reset the clock on the VCR when the power went out, now my grandbrats laugh at me, because I don't know how to change the ringtone on my cell phone.
