Why can‘t the USA vote by mail like the swiss do?

  Elections are run by the states. Some states do vote by mail. https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/all-mail-elections.aspx https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/all-ma...

  Many can, but republican states don't actually believe in the constitution, so deliberately make it as hard as possible for non-conservatives to vote. There's a lot of support for voters in older whiter neighbourhoods, and deliberately as few as possible in every. other location. They also make it as hard as possible to vote even if you can get to a polling facility there's no time off at all for voting (forget paid time off), and voting lines are frequently hours long. The various forms of "voter id" are also intentionally made difficult to get for as many people as possible. Again, republican's hate anything that makes it easy for people to vote, because. they know that in free and fair elections they are increasingly likely to lose.
