   The argument against mail-in ballots is that more Republicans tend to vote at   
   polling locations instead of mailing in their ballots.  Democrats tends to   
   prefer the opportunity to sit at home and review their ballots and submit them   
   via the mail.  This was proven in this election when traditional Republican   
   states or those that carried Trump four years ago went Democratic (at least   
   for the President).   
      
   I like my mail-in ballot. I actually take it to one of my county's drop off   
   boxes (we have like 20 of them).
