It's not a thing, here.
No one is getting an actual ballot, unless they have actually requested one.
What is being unsolicited is a "request for ballot" form. Registered voters are getting them in the mail. You STILL can't vote by mail if you get one of these forms. You have to physically fill it out, and physically return that form to the Supervisor of Elections, and you have to wait for them to verify it and then mail you the physical ballot. And THEN you can fill that in and mail it in.
YOU have to ask THEM for the ballot. There are two things going on here:
Request for Ballot Form
and
Ballot.
The former is being sent to registered voters, unsolicited.
The latter MUST be requested from the voter, using that form.

You summed it up well - that’s how it works in MA.
No problems with that. Standing in a long line on polling day does not make any sense whatsoever in today’s environment.
Give people the option. It’s not rocket science.
