The part in bold is the key thing.  When you request an absentee ballot you get it by certified mail which requires a signature.  Mass mailing ballots is not the same thing.  A mass mailing would include a ballot mailed to my staunchly republican neighbor that passed away last month.  The liberal that now lives at the residence would get it, fill it out with his/her choice (Biden LOL) then mail it back.  That's just one scenario that points out the flaw of "vote by mail".  There is no check or verification.
