I agree that voting in person is better than voting by mail. For people without an id, vote by mail may be the only way that they can vote in Texas.

Voting by mail has a far higher rejection rate or chance that a ballot will not be counted compared to voting in person. There was a specific fact finding by the court in the Texas voter id case that voting by mail was not as good as voting in person
