The biggest problem with mail in and absentee is not actually fraud but people's votes not being counted due to errors on the ballot that poll workers usually spot and have the voter correct at the polls. These ballots are simply thrown out when on election day its too late to have it corrected.
I am sure that my experience is unique but I have never had to spend more than twenty or thirty minutes at a polling location to vote. I have been voting since 1978.
