In some states, there were only 2-3 polling areas in an entire county to serve hundreds of thousands of people, because the GOVERNMENT shut down the other polling places ON Election Day.
Meanwhile, in states where absentee voting was allowed, voting took place anyway. And NO confirmed mail fraud AT ALL in those areas.
The red herring is the notion that mail fraud is even a thing with absentee voting. It isn't.

Can you provide the sites where only 2 or 3 polling areas are available to serve hundreds of thousand of people? I tried to google it and could not find such areas. I can imagine some areas such as Alaska, Montana etc where distance are so great and population low that would be best served by absentee voting.
You mistake absentee voting (which is a request for a ballot) with the mass mailing that was the topic. Absentee voting is absolutely OK.
My experience in Florida Voting is that I am asked to ID myself, which I do with my drivers license. It is swiped and matched to the voter registration list. If I am matched to the list i am given a ballot. I vote . Not a hard system. I just do not want some stray ballot arriving at some residence thru mass mailing to be used to negate my ballot.
