Unfortunately, Mr. Hartman's analysis is correct.

We lived in Oregon for many years, as does Mr. Hartman currently, and one of the things Oregonians have done well is to adopt the "Vote-by-Mail" system (https://en dot wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote-by-mail_in_Oregon). My wife and I purely enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table and reflecting on our voting preferences. The materials provide in the mail was factual and allowed for both sides of any voting issue to be represented and discussed.
As a result of this experience we have chosen to contribute monthly to https://voteathome dot org/ to help competent people seed the advantages for voters in all states. If 10 million people contributed $10 each month this non-profit organization could do a lot of work.
