Vote by Mail does not mean the ballot was not requested, dumb fuck. What you are "suddenly" (over ten years late) objecting to are "universal vote by mail" states. States that automatically mail a ballot to all registered voters. Can you even name which states do that?
He's objecting to all mail in ballots, except for absentee ballots, where the person has to give a reason why they can't vote in person.
So he would be against how they vote in Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington . And because they do no excuse and permanent mail in voting in Arizona, he would object to that too.
