> we never really did much mail in voting as a people (absentee mostly).

That is false. An official report of the US Elections Assistance Commission:

says that, in 2016, 23.7% of ballots were mailed in.

Good fellow, are you really going to say the mail in ballot ratio is the same in a pandemic and not in a pandemic?

That fact is selective on a national scale — if you looked at states, the mail in vs in person ratio is standard deviations away from the norm.

I didn't say that.
