Many states, especially the Republican controlled ones, don't allow that unless you have a reason on a short list of pre-approved reasons.

That’s really surprising. I lived in a super Republican state and mail in ballots were allowed for anyone.

This recent article shows the growth in absentee ballots [0].

Most states allow no excuse absentee ballots but some states still require a reason. Some are republican states like Texas and West Virginia and South Carolina, but also includes most of New England- New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island all super blue.
