[EL] Quick answer appreciated: Mailing absentee ballot requests to all registered voters vs. Mailing vote-by-mail ballots to all registered voters

[Mark Scarberry]

California Gov. Newsom has ordered that actual ballots be mailed to all
registered voters. If I recall correctly, a lot of list members who often
disagree on absentee ballot issues agree that it is not wise to mail actual
ballots to every registered voter.

Am I right? I think I recall Rick (Hasen) agreeing on that point, but I
can't find the email or source. Didn't an earlier election integrity
commission recommend against mailing actual ballots?

Sorry for the senior moment here.

I have a media request and don't want to get this wrong. I won't use
anyone's name unless you give me permission or unless I"m pointed to
something you've written about publicly (not just on this list -- I don't
refer to anything anyone has said on an Internet list using their name)..
