>> The states make the rules for elections.

Of course, as they should. But States Rights doesn't give a state the right to violate create a violation of the Bill of Rights or other constitutional provisions. To the extent mail-in voting creates an Equal Protection violation, for example, it clearly must be struck down. The Court refused to do it for reasons of its own.

This must be fixed. And I think in due course it will be. But I expect the Court doesn't want to act in a way that would negate the outcome of the election and hence call into question Biden's legitimacy. Just guessing, but that would make sense. It is fine for ME, at the same time, to call into question his legitimacy because my voice has no reach.

We know that mail-in voting is not secure, and can't be made secure. Just intuitively, there not a way to do that. You must know that.

A key function of the polling place is to guarantee there is no ballot harvesting. There is no undue pressure to vote one way or the other. And by law, there may not be. It simply isn't allowed.

There is not any way to provide that in a mail-in voting scenario without having SOME ACTUAL CONTACT with the voter. As was done in FL, for example. These states that want to just mail out ballots en masse need to be stopped before they get started or we will never have another fair election.

BTW, if you can suggest how my conclusions are wrong I'd be interested in hearing it although I'm not sure I'm persuadable.
