Mail in voting is going to make the hanging chads in Florida in 2000 seem like a nice memory.
In the best of times, the postal service was striving to deliver 96% of the ballots. Why would we sign up for automatic 4% disenfranchisement?
It is common for 20% or more of mailed in ballots to be invalidated for one reason or another. And that's just when its a normal year with absentee ballots as the ones in the mail.
Changing the election system during a pandemic with only months prior to the election is just asking for it. This sort of thing takes years to plan in the best of times.
