In-person voting is being stifled as well. Look at the Georgia primary. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/09/873054620/long-lines-voting-machine-issues-plague-georgi

Mail-in ballots are so good that once you do them, you'll be dumbfounded at why this isn't the absolute standard country-wide. Like I can't describe how simple it is and nice to be able to research candidates on your own with the full ballot in front of you. Using phones and such is prohibited at in-person voting.
The other advantage is you aren't fully limited by the mail. There are drop-off bins at locations like public libraries.
We trust our mail to do nearly everything official with the government: your ID, vehicle registration, selective service number, passport, IRS PIN, jury summons, US census etc ALL come through the mail and ONLY through the mail, but for voting we don't??? why?!?
- pseudalopex 6y agoVoting in person means you can't prove how you voted. That makes it harder for someone to bribe or bully their way into office.
