The Conservative Case for Expanded Access to Absentee Ballots

Key Points

1) Voting absentee has been done in America since the Civil War.
2) Allowing the public to vote absentee does not advantage either political party.
3) Expanding absentee voting is what the public wants, especially with COVID-19 still raging.

Expanded access to absentee voting comports with conservative principles, which helps explain why a number of conservative state policymakers have advanced proposals to achieve it.
