Mail-in is only for those out of the area, legitimately unable to make it to the polling station, or physically unable to do so.
Counts are to be completed within 48 hours of polls OPENING.
All elections are to be audited to approved local/State standards.
DOGE-style audit of the election system for sure.
Especially in California.

Mandated business travel should qualify only upon presentation of orders on corporate letterhead, presented in person to voting officials in advance of travel dates.
Military stationed abroad obviously qualifies and hopefully our attentive SecDef secures this process from the many decades of fraud.
Paper ballots.
Strict credible enforceable chain of custody.
But yes, that's exactly what needs to be done.
