Early voting seems to work; in 2016 I breezed right in and out of my polling place here in TV.

Massive voting by mail here in Florida? What could possibly go wrong? ������
You do know we already have "massive voting by mail" here in Florida. Do you think we should repeal that law? Over 2.5 million of the 8 million total people voted by mail in the general election in 2018. Either that election was a fraud or we should accept the outcome as legitimate. If you accept the results, then why would you reject a result in which more voted by mail. Would you find standing in line during a Covid outbreak as much fun at a line at Disney World. They did close Disney World due to Covid risk.

Voting in person may provide a tiny increased voter security. How many additional deaths is ok by having forced stand in line for that tiny added security? How would you change anything in November if we have an uptick in Covid in October as happened in 1918 after they thought the flu had quieted down? other than getting rid of mail in votes and having people stand in line of course. We could call the Corona-ride!
