Around two-thirds of Florida-voters said they would be using mail-in voting on national elections on Nov. 3.

Around 59 percent of Florida voters reject U.S. President Donald Trump's fraud accusations linked to mail-in voting, as shown to an informal reader survey Patch did last week.

A total of 575 Florida Patch readers participated in the voting survey published on Aug. 25. The survey was not meant to be a scientific poll but only to give a broad idea of public sentiment.

Many commenters said that military families and snowbirds have traditionally used mail-in voting.

They added that the system has a long worked for them.

One correspondent said that they have been using mail-in voting for years and usually drop it off at our courthouse drop-box a few days early.

The correspondent added that they never had to face any long lines or other problems.

The correspondent said that mail-in envelopes have bar-codes and signature verification.

"I was a former grocery store checker. Most people that buy groceries understand that bar-code purchasing is far more accurate than by checker entry or counting. Suppose there is no bar-code on an envelope or it has a duplicate. In that case, the computer will kick it out for further inspection and possible felony prosecution," the correspondent was quoted in a report.

Florida registered voters can request mail0in ballots for the general election. Many people are expected to use mail-in voting due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Requests for mail-in ballots can be made for all elections through the calendar year in Florida. However, voters must be registered to make the request.

"That's just been my personal preference. But I believe that voting by mail and early voting are good options for those worried about being in big crowds on Election Day due to Covid-19, especially the elderly or underlying conditions, and those homes with kids because of the pandemic," one correspondent said.

Mail-in Voting Reliability

Last week, intelligence and election security officials confirmed that mail-in voting for the upcoming elections is safe from foreign threats.

Authorities claimed that the standard security measures and decentralization make the States' election system challenging to penetrate and change results.

"We have yet to see any activity intended to prevent voting or to change votes. And we continue to think that it would be extraordinarily difficult for foreign adversaries to change vote tallies," Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen was quoted in a report.

Many claimed that foreign nations could influence mail-in voting.

U.S. President Donald Trump made claims that foreign countries could affect the mail-in voting.

Attorney General William P. Barr earlier said that it would be easy for foreign adversaries to make U.S. ballots to send them in.

Election security officials revoked Barr's claims.

Officials said many security measures are being imposed to make such attempts a failure.

The doubts claims came after the 2016 U.S. presidential elections when Russia reportedly influenced it.
