My favorite thing about mail in voting is Utah. Utah for years had a very successful mail in voting operation. Everyone loved it. A few critics here and there, but generally well respected. Then Trump lost and now mail in voting is a very bad thing, don't you know! (even thought Trump won by an overwhelming majority in Utah via mail in voting)
Is they could self reflect they'd be very upset.
I thought Trump was really unpopular with Utah Mormons?
Perhaps relative to evangelical Christian denominations. There's still enough support that he won the state pretty handily.
Same thing in Arizona. No excuse needed, anyone can get a mail in ballot. Let's you sit on your couch and do research while you fill out it. When you're ready, just put it in the mailbox.
Now that I live in Texas, I miss that system a ton.
In Oregon we only vote by mail and when you go to the DMV to get stuff like an ID, they'll enroll you to vote as well. The process has worked great for years and increases voter engagement by removing unnecessary barriers to exercising our constitutional rights.
