Not to mention the freezing cold weather, (we can't all live in nice, warm places like Florida.) If so, that is very obtuse. I know just as many people here in Ohio who mail-in voted for Trump, than I do people who voted for Biden. Choosing to do things the "common sense" way, doesn't make people lazy, it makes them intelligent. If someone gives you an easier way to do things without penalty and you turn it down, that doesn't make you diligent, it makes you stubborn and hard-headed.

I'd definitely opt for none, over far-right or far-left ideas being implemented.

The same people who wanted to stay out of the crowds of people in elections lines are in the dairy aisle at the grocery store every weekend with a mask on, socially distancing. I am saying that mail-in voting wasn't necessary for people to perform their civic duty if they choose to. Absentee balloting could have easily replaced mail-in voting. There was plenty of time for people to request a ballot if they wanted one. Flooding the entire voter roll (dead included) with ballots they didn't ask for is terrible.

Not me. I do a Walmart click list. I order groceries online and they bring them out to my car. I haven't been in a grocery store since before the pandemic. I no longer need to. My entire family does this now. So do many of our friends. I never did it before the pandemic, but I love it. I'll do all my Christmas shopping online as well. 

As far as not voting in person, aren't we talking about absentee balloting? I thought that was what mail-in voting was. My family all voted absentee. We requested ours months ago and turned them back in weeks ago. Isn't there just absentee balloting, early voting and in person voting? That is the only way to vote here in Ohio.
