    BK> The argument against mail-in ballots is that more Republicans tend to   
    BK> vote at  polling locations instead of mailing in their ballots.     
      
   That Republican preference for voting at polling locations was possibly   
   because of the words of their supreme leader who kept claiming that mail   
   in ballots were not safe.   
      
    BK> Democrats tends to prefer the opportunity to sit at home   
    BK> and review their ballots and submit them via the mail.     
      
   Because it was easier, and because it was less risky with respect to   
   Covid.  Since I am in a high risk category, I would feel very hesitant   
   to go to a walk up polling place, especially since there would be many   
   people there who would not be observing safe ruls of mask and distance.   
      
    BK> This was proven in this election when traditional   
    BK> Republican states or those that carried Trump four years    
    BK> ago went Democratic (at least for the President).   
      
   The real proof was that the early returns from polling stations seemed   
   to be mostly Republican or split, but then the mail in ballots were   
   giving results of 75% or more for Democratic candidates.   
      
    BK> I like my mail-in ballot. I actually take it to one of my    
    BK> county's drop off boxes (we have like 20 of them).   
      
   That is what I did.
