I think they could extend in-person voting by a few days to reduce wait times at the polls. Maybe give three days to vote in person? I just don’t see any reason Joe Blow who lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia needs to be mailing in a ballot instead of voting in person.
I understand the concerns with COVID this year but there has to be a way to avoid this fiasco in the future.
I don’t know how feasible this is and I might be overlooking some problems here.

The way to avoid it is to allow early ballots to be counted ahead of time. If anything mail-in balloting should be expanded, I wish we did it here.
