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.

Absentee balloting is TOTALLY different than main-in voting. You have to request an absentee AND they match your signature. It is a legitimate process that has been in place for a long time. I am actually registered to do it, but choose to shred my ballot at the polling station and vote in person for presidental elections.

Main-in voting is being sent a ballot (or 10) without asking for it and in some cases having "people" show up at your door to help you fill it out, in turn whichis called ballot harvesting.
