California was one of seven states whose voting machines were hacked by Russia. Jim and I vote by mail. Should everyone do likewise?

Our ballots are sent directly to the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. I think Oregon is a state that only can vote by mail. Now of course there are Registrars of Voters in every country and every state but there are far fewer of them than there are polls where folks go to vote. So WHAT IF all voting were done by mail in America? Would that mitigate/minimize the danger of being hacked to fewer locations which could be protected better? We know Russia will hack again and do it better because the donjack prez doesn't give a rat's a**. Someone has to give a rat's a**.  Are you a someone?

    No voting machines were hacked. Voter registrations were hacked.
    Personally I think all voting should be in person on paper and counted by hand.

    We've been doing it for years. Since I had cancer surgery in 2008 and couldn't get to the polls for Primaries cause I was still healing/recuperating. We vote in every election including Primaries so we mail it in. Jim went to the polling place the first time and then when the regular election rolled around he decided to switch because voting by mail is so much easier.  No confusion or noise. You are in the peaceful environment of your home. Of course you know exactly what I mean since you are doing the same thing. We always vote early. Usually within the first week of being allowed to do that. I always do my homework and research candidates and issues with which I'm unfamiliar. It's so much easier now with the internet than it used to be years ago. Thank you for your reply Lulu'sMom! :)
