Mail-in ballots are not worthless. There are plenty of people who'll give you a buck or two for your ballot. If a ballot is mailed out to everyone, it will create a ballot market.
There will be retail buyers, bundlers and underwriters.
For what do you think 'wino joe' would sell his vote?

It hasn't anywhere in the country where mail-in ballots have been in use for years.

Why can't this be true of in-person voting? Are you just making things up in order to manufacture an argument against mail-in?

President Trump uses mail in ballot.

Enough said.
