Keep in mind that each state makes their own rules/laws on governing and administering voting! Not all states use the same method. That's why some states were trying to implement universal mail-in balloting(meaning send out ballots to EVERYONE), until they were caught and challenged. The issue with that, is the integrity(i.e. verify ID and signature?), as well as, the handling(harvesting). Harvesting should not be allowed!

Then, there's the timing/dating. Some states/people think they should mail their votes in any time, and it should arrive on time, and/or be counted, regardless? That's not realistic. Unfortunately, the news on USPS lately, is all about timing and delays. That's being clouded by the postal unions complaining about their overtime being cut. USPS, for years, has been in decline, as letters/mail is not used as much, due to email(et al). And, with UPS and Fedex(et al), their parcel service has declined. They(unions) are trying to use the voting as their reason to push back on the overtime restriction. I know of a few folks that worked in USPS. Most of them rely(ed) on overtime, and purposely used a system to almost guarantee it. The gig is up.

Unlike Absentee voting, Mail-in voting should be by exception, not rule. If we can all go to Walmart and stand in a line, we can go to the polling stations.

Remember..."in Chicago, 5 out of every 4 voters, vote Democratic!" Cheers!
