Kinda hard for some who have various reasons that have them out of their area on election day. Today’s mobile society, jobs, etc don’t keep people close to home at all times.

Then they don't vote, pure and simple.

That is a method for sure. But you seem to be okay with
disenfranchising a voter because of not being in their
locale on election day because of some legitimate reason.
There should be a legitimate and legal method to allow
these people a method to vote.

Election Day should be of such high importance that everyone, I don't care who they are or what job they, should not be working, period. They should have one task and one task only to accomplish that day,

VOTE

That's it. Other than those who work for an emergency service such as police, fire, medical or something similar, everyone else gets a paid day off to do their civil duty. And those who work an emergency service can have arrangements made to ensure they get to exercise their constitutional duty as well. Or even have a polling unit set up in their place of business.

There's absolutely no reason why the system we have now should exist.

To each his own. That’s why we have horse races, poker and elections. Today’s
world isn’t like it was back when this country was formed and everyone lived/worked
withing a short distance of their community. You can’t shut this world economy down
for a day so that people can vote. But you can make it so that they can vote on a day
they will be near their location. Or allow for electronic voting from where ever one
may be on election day. You may be happy to disenfranchise some segments. I am not.
