California has been shifting toward remote voting since 1978. In 2016, the state enacted the Voter’s Choice Act, which began allowing counties to apply to start sending all voters a mail ballot.
For a brief time in 2020, it seemed as though the vote-by-mail movement was having a bipartisan moment.
“It’s getting to the point where, really, we’re seeing these two democracies emerge,” said Liz Avore, a senior policy advisor at the Voting Rights Lab, a nonpartisan advocacy group that tracks state election laws. “Your ZIP Code really determines what kind of access you have to the ballot, which is concerning.”
The lasting impact of his claims has led to stark differences between how Democrats and Republicans view mail voting. Democratic voters wereto support allowing voters to request an absentee ballot without a documented excuse or vote early in person as Republicans were, according to a June 2020 Pew Research Center poll. Several Republican nominees for secretary of state across the U.S.
On the other end of the spectrum, states such as Texas, Georgia and Florida responded to the 2020 election by overhauling their election laws in ways that add hurdles to mail voting. In Georgia and Florida, which allow no-excuse absentee voting, new laws have limited when drop boxes are available and where they can be located, and added requirements for how drop boxes are monitored.
