I agree but am 80 years old and this year have had to stop driving and can only walk around on my property, due to arthritis around my neck's spinal cord that makes me dizzy. I live in an unincorporated area and have nobody to drive me anywhere, which makes me depend on deliveries and occasional visits from relatives who are not local. So I need to mail in my vote. I still have my driver's license but my printer does not have a scanning function, and I would be reluctant to mail a copy. I have not mailed in a vote before, but it appears there is some kind of check on who I am. The problem is that the person who does the checking should be someone who works for the government rather than not-to-be-trusted polling place workers. In any case, elderly and infirm people cannot by themselves take in an ID and show up to vote.
