There are two downsides to that. One downside is shared with absentee voting -- the voter could have been coerced or rewarded to vote in a specific way. The advantage of in-person voting is that that's not possible, at least not unless the coercer or rewarder hooks the voter up to a reliable lie detector.
Or asks for a cel phone video of the ballot being marked. But this kind of voter fraud can never be enough to swing any election bigger than dog catcher. Brent
The other downside is that the voter could falsely claim that his vote was missing or wrong. Also, this doesn't address the opposite problem, ballot-box stuffing.
