One of the benefits in terms of election reform from this whole debacle of a year is the sheer volume of mail in voting. By 2024, literally every state should have an apparatus like Florida's to handle mail-in ballots, and should be counting those votes ahead of time in the same manner. Now that so many people have voted by mail once, it's probably how they'll vote from now on. It's just more convenient than standing in line.
The thing is, it's not like mail-in voting has traditionally been so heavily in favour of democrats. In a lot of states, the GOP is really good at getting their vote in that way, particularly from the elderly. They should have built on that instead of ceding that whole voting method to their opponent.
