Agreed. I’ve mailed it a few times, most of the time dropped it off. It’s a beautiful system. I hate it so much that the bloated toad in the WH has any fucking possibility of threatening it.
Anyway, yeah, all cons need to be flushed and a bare minimum should be established, as the cons would rather have situations where they can orchestrate long wait times under miserable conditions in the “wrong” districts.
Every state should have voters given a no-excuse option to get a ballot mailed to them or they could print one out (Colorado needs this part), that they then can drop off or mail back. It needs to be enshrined into law that the USPS can not be directed to interfere with these in any way, shape or form.
Every state needs to have a bare minimum of drop boxes and polling places, adjusted by population density in a given region. Possibly measure average wait times every election and if they hit some threshold (say, over twenty minutes), they have to add another polling place next election.
Every state must offer early voting, with the minimum number of days in that window set at 30 days.
The idea that some states still require in-person voting the day of the election is absolutely ludicrous.

Colorado also has a system called BallotTrax iirc that lets us know if our ballot has been counted. Other places should do that too. It’s great.
My only other criticism of our system is that we don’t have ranked choice voting, but we’ll get there.
The ballot measure for it a couple years ago failed because honestly it wasn’t worded in a way that people understood what they were voting for
If they update the language level requirements, that may help.
