I’m sure that mail in votes have never been a large part of the votes cast. A huge majority have gone to the polling booths with mainly the overseas military personnel voting by mail.
I feel that most votes cast will still be at the polls as was done in the primaries. Only now with Covid-19 have mail-in votes become important. I wouldn’t be surprised if each county would be creating drop boxes for mail-in votes thereby bypassing USPS.
Bar say Ohio where the Secretary of State announced, or at least had announced, there'd be no extra drop in boxes to help with more people voting by post in a state that normally votes in person
The totality of actions to date across the GOP and USPS cannot possibly be a mistake, and can specifically only be an attempt to suppress votes. There's no reason to suppose they'll address their short comings so far, indeed it seems more likely they'll get worse as events progress.
So far as I know there's still no confirmation of how many polling stations will even be open gi, or how many roads/bridges will be accidentally closed in democratic leaning wards to further suppress votes. Perhaps we might only start to get the fuller picture on election day with Trump hoping to declare victory before anyone can say hold on that doesn't seem right
