Universal vote by mail? No. I can imagine several situations where votes “go missing” or “suddenly appear” and any investigation would have a really hard time finding evidence.
How big of a problem is that, compared to the millions of people who struggle to make the time and vote?
My girlfriend works two jobs. Gets up at 8-9am, most days works til 3am. Has to take care of her grandmother with Alzheimer’s, do all her shopping/banking/cleaning/etc on the weekends. She is not an isolated case. Many people don’t have the time to do anything else.
Anything that increases voter turnout should be adopted. The US already has vote by mail. Expanding the program is a good thing.

This same argument over and over again. My state has had mail in ballots by default since before I was voting age and we never seem to have a problem.
