Simply mailing to everybody creates an needless opportunity for confusion and abuse.
From the beginning of this country, voting has been a right that must be personally performed. Choosing not to vote is your decision. A vote should be private. Nobody should know my vote. All votes should be collected by the vote deadline. Votes delivered after the vote deadline should be nullified. Otherwise my vote is essentially known.

Are you aware that five states conduct their elections entirely by mail ballot and the incident of fraud is less than 100th of 1%. And, virtually every state has allowed voters to vote by mail should they choose to for decades. There is no, I repeat no evidence that mail balloting is fraught with more fraud than any other method. Those responsible for county and state elections have documented this time and time again. The current brouhaha is just another example of fake news perpetuated by the White House.
