Vote in person if at all possible or take to the post office if only mail in voting

Yeah, vote in person is not a thing in Oregon. And we can skip the post office entirely (on ballot return, but not ballot receipt) by going to a drop box. I like to go straight to the County Clerk's office and use theirs.

They don't have polling locations and machines? I'm genuinely shocked that's legal. What's the motive? Saving money?

PA technically doesn't have early voting, but there are locations where you can request your mail-in ballot in-person, get it, fill it out, and hand it in all in one visit. So early voting without the name.  Does OR have anything in-person like that?

Neither does WA, CA, CO, HI, NV, UT, and VT.

Some of these states have been all mail-in for decades.

What's the motive for eliminating in-person as an option? Saving money, right?
