Absentee balloting is a form of vote-by-mail. I'll wager he's keeping that because it selects for old, white voters

If all are against it in private, then why would they do it? Surely if they believed in the system of democracy, that would be due to a shared respect for its benefits. They do not see any benefit to themselves and thus will happily bring the system down. Bc it is not benefiting their venal desires

Most mail-in voters are disabled, elderly, lacking accessible transportation, or are unable to take time “off” from work. Ask yourself why these specific voices are being silenced.

The problem here is not banning vote by mail. States own that decision. Goal here is to make it harder for states to use by limiting things like post office and funds. That’ll create bottlenecks which will be used to suggest tampering and illegal voting when voting takes even longer. All a ruse.
