From the article: An MIT study found "7.6M of 35.5M mail-in ballots requested were not counted because they never reached voters or were rejected for irregularities."
From the MIT study: 3.9M ballots never reached voters and 800k ballots were rejected.

From the article: "about half the states have either no or extremely limited vote-by-mail options."
The correct number: 34 States + DC allow widespread voting by mail. I think we can all agree that 68% does not equal "about half."

It's easy to make arguments without facts, hence why you aren't seeing fact-based arguments about why #votebymail should not be allowed.
