I vote Pinellas county, and they have been doing things for many years.
Last election, I couldn't get my ballot to them. I'm overseas and tried over and over to fax it. Tried in many places, including the post office, but it didn't work.
Finally, I called and they had other fax numbers which were not provided to me with the directions on voting.
Had I not called, I wouldn't have been able to get my ballot to the Pinellas office.
Now, everyone is getting a mail ballot from them, even if you live next to the office.
Being overseas by necessity like a service person or on holiday should be the only ways people should be allowed to vote by mail. Otherwise, go to the polls and vote.

Very bad experience with them.

Maybe or let them get a ride over from a friend or family member.
