This is EXACTLY why this thread exists. To discuss the planning, in advance, of alternatives to showing up at the polls during a worldwide pandemic.

The problems in Wisconsin are due to a pandemic that no one was able to account for, a request to delay the vote, the rejection of that delay, and the subsequent rush to accommodate more mail-in ballots than anyone would *otherwise* have expected.

It was a disaster from the get-go, because it was an exeptional circumstance.

In states where mail-in ballots are NOT an exceptional circumstance, it's efficient and practical.

Imagine if Wisconsin, and the post offices in Wisconsin, had time to prepare instead of being in a mad rush.
