is it just me or is the concept of "mail in balloting" new to this US election cycle?

In past elections limited numbers of absentee ballots were allowed for overseas armed forces personnel and ex-pats. The numbers were small.

In this election huge numbers of voters did not vote in person and I am starting to think there may be something to the risk of serious fraud.

Maybe future elections should be limited to in-person voting with limited exceptions. Like..... in Canada?

EDIT: I get that this was done because of Covid. Should these votes not have been counted in advance?
