And because we tend to have many polling places here in the city (most are within 1 mile of the residences in each Division), MOST people here go "in person". I.e., since 2020, we have consistently only had about 1/3rd of the voters using the mail option.
If anything, the concern might be to make sure that the machines (that were first used in 2019 and which I hated, which is why I vote by mail) remain operational.
When Biden ran in 2020, the city actually surpassed the historic 2008 vote totals here, and THAT was during a pandemic when we only had about 1/2 the polling locations available due to the lack of facilities and staff, and social distancing requirements (only having about 1/2 of the polling locations meant more people used that mail option) -
