In Georgia, there are ballot drop off boxes. These are placed in different places around different counties. The one I used was about 2 miles away, at a library. They have a security camera on it and it is emptied daily.
In Georgia, ballots postmarked by 7p on election day are consider "on-time", provided they are delivered within the next 5-7 days.
Over 50% of all registered voters have already voted here.
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas were all hit by hurricane Zeta earlier this week, so there are trees down, power outages, and worse in those states. We had a 12 hour power outage at the house. I can completely understand why all deliveries are 1-2 days behind.

Conservative politicians generally don't like it when lots of people vote and do everything they can to make sure their supporters' votes are disproportionately valuable. It's not much different from what the LDP have been doing in Japan for the past sixty years.

One can only infer that Republicans try to suppress the vote because in a free and fair election with all votes counted, they lose.

I'll make the point again, but mainly to draw attention to the fact that you must know that Trump has always voted by mail, which makes me puzzled as to why you made the point.

Trump used to always vote by mail.

No, the President was always against mail in voting...
Funny, I was under the impression that Trump has always mailed in his vote (mostly as a democrat) EXCEPT this time when he wasted hundreds of thousands of tax-payer greenbacks to fly to Florida for a photo-op in a... library!? The significance of this purely symbolic political gesture was telegraphed to the nation as clearly as standing in front of that local church he never attends while holding his "favorite book" upside down and back to front. You couldn't make this stuff up (unless you were Trump's scriptwriter).

Fortunately, Trump is as incompetent at voter suppression as he is in business, governance or truth-telling.

No, the President was always against mail in voting and if you can go to a hair salon or fly on a plane or go out on your sailboat or go to the gym and jog without masks as many of these Democrats were caught doing then you can drag your behind to the polls, rioters continue to show us this every day.
The President never called for packing the courts or abolishing the filibuster.
More like the savior from the clutches of the Marxists, even Michael Moore is nervous. Time to put socialism and Marxism right where it belongs....in the trash.

The Trump era will be remembered for many things, among them how voting has been dealt with.
Trump and his Republican followers have done more to make voting, a basic right ensured by the Constitution, a challenge for millions of Americans.
Trump and his Republicans continue their attacks on the democratic principles the republic is built on.
If Trump is re-elected, he will go down in history as the gravedigger of the republic.
Despots around the globe are smiling. As are their followers pushing national socialism.
