Well I'm sorry to hear about your family members but don't think that you're alone.
If the masses can go to the food stores and Walmart in person then they can vote in person. If they choose not to well, that's up to them.

Now let me tell you about my own personal voting story, I went to my local polling place, I had my ID checked (remember that), I was instructed on how to use the "new machine"( I saw nothing wrong with the old ones), I completed my ballot and it spit out a coded piece of paper that I was instructed to feed into the slot on the machine, I got a receipt for my ballot. Easy enough, done. The receipt was a jumble of numbers and an icon that meant nothing to me.
2 weeks later, I personally contacted the state out of curiosity and spoke to a lady just to see the status of my vote. I was told that there was no way of determining that status. After going around for a few minutes, she checked the voting records for my county and my name and I was told that I didn't vote! I said that I had my receipt! That doesn't mean anything. I contacted my Congressman and told him the situation. He explained to me that THAT is one of the reasons that he would be contesting the Pennsylvania vote in Congress.
How did THAT work out for me?
