The long lines that you saw...were for only the voters in states that "vote in person." A lot of states are completely, "vote by mail." You are mailed a ballot, if you are over 18 and have registered to vote. So, you fill out your ballot and mail it in on time to be counted on election day.

@theexciting1 In theory, that is how it works. But this last election, Postmaster DeJoy had sorting machines and other equipment destroyed and changed overtime and other rules to prevent ballots from being delivered on time so they would not be counted. The US mail is still far slower right now than it was before the election.

@theexciting1 Not true. We had early and mail voting here in New York, yet we also had long lines. My poll site had a line around the block.

@RedBaron And Texas specified there could only be one polling place per county. That didn't work so well in Harris County, where there are millions of people.
