It is necessary to deal with absentee voting and the USPS is a great organization, but it also loses mail all the time. So why would you setup your whole election system on top of a system that is known to be flawed?
The more convenient voting is made, the easer it will be to steal elections.
If you don't have a problem with your vote "not" being counted, they why vote at all? Us vs them is part of democratic life and should alway be thought of that way during election time because, just like you state "as long as we've had elections there have been folks trying to figure out how to discount someone elses ballot", and as votes we need to make sure the system does not allow that to happen and if it does and can be proven, the penalty should be just short of death.
