Vote by mail suffers from the baseball bat problem, yet it's not uncommon in the US.

You're right. I was actually just about to edit my post to comment on the fact that absentee ballots still suffer that problem, so perhaps my thoughts here are invalid.

However, vote by mail is more likely to suffer from the peanut butter & jelly problem, which is getting food smudged on the ballots while filling them out at the dinner table.
