So your hypothetical is irrelevant.
Not so. In Florida you can get an absentee ballot the day before the day before the General Election in person. At least that could be mailed by Nov 3

Absentee voter deadlines
Application by mail - Oct 24
Application in person - Nov 2
Submission by mail - Nov 3
Submission in person - Nov 3


In Connecticut, you can request the Application by mail on Nov 2 and you must mail it by Nov 3. Now that would work well.

It varies by state. So to that effect, the whole crisis concerning the US Post Office is again a red herring. The states don't even have requirements that make sense.
