Vote-By-Mail Not Good Enough for Amazon

Interesting, but but surprising. Amazon Requests In-Person Union Vote in Covid-Plagued Alabama

Amazon.com Inc. is asking the National Labor Relations Board to consider having workers vote in person -- rather than by mail -- on a proposal to form a union at an Alabama warehouse.

I wonder what their stance was - all those Amazon employees at Headquarters - about vote-by-mail for a Presidential election.

The world’s largest online retailer said that a mail election raised the risk of fraud and the coercion of workers. It also said the process would depress turnout, arguing that as many as 29% of its more than 5,800 employees eligible to vote wouldn’t do so or would return incorrectly completed ballots.

I thought there was no such thing as vote fraud.
