A large number of "anomalies" and potentially illegal actions have been discovered surrounding the November 2020 Presidential election, in almost every state of the union.

i dont get the issue Republicans have with mail-in ballots, to me it seems like allowing people to vote at home relieves social pressure faced at voting places and gives them time to research candidates before voting. seems people right now are rushed to vote for whichever party dominates the area and is given no time for proper research on the other candidates.
