My first reaction to this post is that this is unhelpful and even echoes the Trump negative attacks on voting by mail.

I think it may also be encouraging risky behavior.

Certainly, if you want to be cautious because of age or Covid risk factors. Note: it took the BoE about 2 weeks to finalize the primary election counts in Suffolk county and delays were even longer elsewhere. If such delays happen again in Nov. as predicted by many, Trump/Zeldin will claim victory based on Nov 3rd early vote counts and they will discount results that trickle in later from absentee ballots. They will call up their most militant followers. It could get ugly.

Note we were urged to encourage people to vote early rather than on Nov 3rd or by mail (absentee ballot). The reason being that BoE is concerned about being swamped by mail-in votes that will take them weeks to deal with.
