What is that? /s
They've made everything else as inconvenient as possible, that extends to vote-by-mail too. To request a mail ballot in Florida, you literally have to call, mail, or fax an individual person. How fast do those requests get processed? How often do they get denied for BS reasons? What happens if the person's voter registration gets purged between the request for the ballot and receiving the ballot? How often do mail-in ballots just 'disappear'?
There's just so many problems with mail-in that it doesn't feel like a sustainable, reliable replacement for in-person voting.
