BOTH ARE LEGAL ... THANKS FOR PLAYING
Depends on what State you are in. Mail in voting is unconstitutional in many States. The constitution has to be amended to allow mass mail in voting.

That explains why California is hopelessly liberal.
Did you guys have a primary yesterday?
We did. We mailed in our ballots a couple of weeks ago. First time I've voted absentee. It was great. You got the ballot, had plenty of time to research the candidates/other issues.
I go to the polling station to vote. It's less than 10 minutes away.

Name a state where mail in votes are unconstitutional.
HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE ABSENTEE BALLOTS ARE DIFFERENT THAN MAIL-IN BALLOTS
All of them pretend to believe that?
You do not think there is a difference?
None. But since you think there are some, prove it.
I'm not surprised you'd believe that, based on your posts.
No, it was in April.
We had one in March, and then yesterday. We really liked vote-by-mail. Our township is a large very sparsely populated area so it's not like our precincts (all two of them) are crowded with voters. But in town and downstate polling sites can get crazy. I'm glad our state makes it possible to vote by mail.

You also have the same time to research the candidates and issues.

Mass mail in voting, actually. Kentucky. Louisiana. Virginia. South Carolina. Florida. Pennsylvania. Wyoming. Idaho. Washington (yes, mass mail in voting is unconstitutional in Washington State), California (the SOTC does not recognize the constitution of California), Maine, Montana, Wisconsin, ...shall I go on?
Each of these States require voting by secret ballot. Mass mail in voting is not secret ballot. Several of these States also have tests of voter identification required before being issued the ballot. That is not possible with mass mail in voting. Several of these States specify when all the ballots must be received for counting. That is not possible with mass mail in voting. Several of these States also clearly specify a polling place and the use of polling machines or who may collect the ballots.
To implement mass mail in voting, these constitutions will have to be amended to remove the requirement for secrecy, remove the requirement for polling places, remove the requirement for qualified election officers as the only ones that can receive a ballot, remove the requirement of a specified date of receipt of ballots by a qualified election officer, and remove the requirement of voter identification or qualification testing before voting, where applicable.

I did mail in voting in Pennsylvania, so you are wrong there.
