If you believe your vote is important, then get to the polls. Outside of being bed ridden or out of town, there are very few other excuses. If you think it's an inconvenience, then too bad.
Many people work and cannot get to polls on a Tuesday.
Many people have elder or child care and cannot get to polls on a Tuesday.
Many places have limited the number of polling places causing long lines, hours long. How do you get to work when you are stuck in line for hours?

I could go on, but it is BS, because you like to think everyone fits into some perfect box.
This one is huge. When Virginia first allowed voting on other days ahead of time, they made you have a very specific reason (which were only a couple of things like being out of town on election day). I went and the guy in front of me, an elderly gentleman was told he didn't qualify even though he said he had to take care of grandchildren all day and would not be able to make it on election day. I was livid. He was disenfranchised.
Thankfully Virginia has changed and anyone can vote early and now you can vote mail in as well. People do get a clue, but as Winston Churchill said, "you can count on the Americans to make the right decision after they have exhausted all the other options."

Many people have been voting by mail for a while. WH press secretary has been doing so for years. Trump did. Why can't everyone else? I have been for years, too, even when I used to be a R. Why was it fine before but now it's not?
Nope. I can't verify who you are or that you ordered or submitted a ballot on your own. It's rife with avenues for fraud. Forget your "affirmation statements".
You are not to be trusted.

Sounds good to me. But in case there is still a severe shortage of masks like there is right now, we should plan on allowing voting by mail.
Homemade masks and bandannas don’t work? Why require them?
Science is so hard!

If it can't be trusted, then why has Trump and his press Secretary voted by mail, and now, Rs want to let PA Rs vote by mail all of a sudden.
According to Trump's campaign, it's ok to send a mail ballot if someone asks for it. Make sure you email Trump and his campaign that it can't be trusted, and it's rife with avenues of fraud? Yea?

Mark Hrutkay, chairman of the Washington County GOP, remind voters on Facebook this month of the mail-in option and was met with an earful of angry responses from Trump supporters.
"I had one woman, using a lot of four-letter words, tell me, 'Didn’t you know Trump hates mail-in balloting?'"

Active service military have been voting by mail since the civil war. We entrust passports, taxes and census documents to the USPS. This is such a non-issue, it is galling to see Trump play the right like this.
It's all about suppressing voter turnout. That's all Trump can hope for these days.
