Can you please cite the states that are all-mail in please? I've been checking SOS websites and have not run across this in the states I've checked...

Edit:

Thank you both (below, too) for the info. Yeah, so for the states that default mail ballots (WA, OR, CO), I don't see an issue as these states have used this method previously.

What I'm focusing on are states that moved from 'vote by mail optional' -- to 'vote by mail, nearly default because of a recent pandemic.' Which changes the nature and security of the Ballot Request System in each of these states.

Normal implicit controls around ballot requests are out of the window in this new 'mail-in majority' culture. Refer to my 'bussing' example above.

Washington, Oregon, Colorado all have universal mail-in where every registered voter automatically gets a ballot in the mail (though you can still drop off your ballot, or vote in person). California is _largely_ mail-in but I don't think it's universal...
