for US voters who didn't, why didn't you vote early through the mail? (sh.itjust.works)

Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

I'm not worried about votes at the early voting location being any more likely to be thrown out than the average polling location on election day due to legal challenges, and I am not worried about the state poll workers. If I lived in a state that was all mail in voting I wouldn't be concerned, since the process is the same for everyone.

My concerns with mail in voting is due to Republicans frequently trying legal challenges to mail in voting and trying to throw out votes since their voters tend to favor in person voting.

Our voting process is solid, except when Republicans start shenanigans with their stacked courts to bypass the reliable counting process.
