We had early voting and mail in voting long before Covid, weirdo.
Virginia rules for early voting and absentee voting used to be much stricter - they have become much more lenient in the past 10 years.
You used to have to have a reason to vote early or to request an absentee ballot. I know because I was a poll worker in 2013. I worked at a polling place that was not my voting precinct so I had to vote early.
And with leniency comes the opportunity for more fraud.
Republicans like to accuse others of things that they do themselves. Recall that it was Youngkin's son who tried to vote twice on a single election day despite being ineligible to vote.
And he did not get to vote because it was in person and the rules worked.
Yep, but he tried...twice. And my guess is that any "fraud" from early voting happens much more with Republicans than Democrats. After all, there's one party that knows how to play the dirtiest games, and it's Republicans. So, sure, make the voting rules stricter. Democrats will be fine, and Republicans will suffer.
Suggest you take a look at hte results of absentee mail in voting......

My friend is disabled. They come out to the car for the disabled.
I’m pretty sure Republicans call that “ballot harvesting”
No. This has gone on for years. I've been a GOP election officer. No objections at all. There's a special spot to park to get someone to come to the car. At my polling place the Chief Election Officer does it.
Ballot harvesting is quite different. It's when someone collects multiple ballots and turns them in. Possibly a paid person. No checks and balances there.

I waited approximately 0 seconds at my polling place.

Not at all. There are exceptions....
And, polling places do have resources for people with mobility issues. My mom lived in Fairfax County prior to her death. She had mobility issues. I took her to her polling place ON election day and an election worker came to her car to get her ballot to vote. Very easy.
There are always exceptions.
Allowing weeks of early voting is just silly.
What’s the actual issue?
What great conspiracy have you whipped up?

For years, those kinds of exemptions were offered and still would be. It was not until a few years ago that you were allowed to absentee vote for no reason given. Some states are now sending absentee ballots to everyone and I think there is a state that has only mail in voting.
