Absentee ballot question about being counted

I live in Florida. Is it true that a properly cast absentee ballot that arrives at the Election office in time, is more reliably counted than either optical scan or Diebold ? I just requested an absentee ballot to make sure my vote is counted. Thanks in advance.

2. I'm no expert

but I do vote absentee myself.

Absentee ballots are recountable and verifiable. Also, while individual mail-in ballots may be more susceptible to frauds like coercion, there is less likelihood of system-wide fraud, like vote-switching, hacking, or "proprietary software."

and tend to - not me, unfortunately.

I am adding your Q to my "big" election question thread that is bustling with activity - not.
