What are your thoughts on vote by mail?

  You can always mail in the ballot, then go to a polling place and vote there. IIRC, that overrides your mail-in vote.

    How would that even work? They wouldn't be able even to start opening ballots until after election day. In California, you definitely can't do that. Ballots are separated from the envelopes, for anonymity, before counting. The different counties even have web pages where you can check that your ballot was received and counted. (Mine was received 10/31, opened on 11/1, and counted on 11/2.)

      Some states already allow people to change their votes if they voted early.

    Not always -- it varies on a state-by-state level. I live in NJ, where you can do this. However, it only works because absentee/mail-in balloting is held until after election day, and in some cases are only counted if the election is within the number of absentee ballots, and an in-person vote will trigger them to manually throw out the mail-in ballot.
