And I voted in my first election from college by absentee ballot.

No one is saying that absentee balloting is to be forbidden. There are many people with good reasons for it.

But the idea that people need to have 2 weeks to vote, or have everyone vote by mail, or encourage the stupid and lazy to vote is detrimental to our republic.

Some on this thread seem to suggest that.

As someone who lost the chance to vote, due to unexpected requirements from my job, I will fight hard to keep early voting available to me and the others who work near their homes, but don't have simple 9-5 jobs.
