Maybe you should ask those states that do mail-in balloting routinely.
For example... Utah, which only votes by mail (one of four, I believe).

Mail in voting has always been a fraud. If a person has neither the inclination nor desire to vote with absolute integrity and security in person then their vote should not count.

Mail in voting is secure.

"How many will get lost?"
Entirely dependent on if it is a blue or red state, We do anticipate greater ballotlosses in blue states. Our "sincerest apologies, hrh hrh! Sincerely, Postmaster Louis DeJoy

USPS is already causing trouble.
This week, Kansas' Republican Sec. of State Scott Schwab sent a blistering letter to U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, sharply criticizing the Trump-appointee for the disenfranchisement of about 1,000 Kansans whose August primary ballots were mailed back before the Election Day deadline, but either failed to include a USPS postmark or arrived later than the state's three-day grace period following Election Day. Schwab suggested some ballots mailed back on time are still arriving at county offices weeks later. Schwab's concerns were echoed the following day in what NBC News described as "an unusually frank joint open letter" to DeJoy from the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), excoriating the Postmaster General for failures to address numerous, long-term shortcomings that have alarmed the election officials. The letter reads, in part: "We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action to address the ongoing performance issues with USPS election mail service. Failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process." As vote-by-mail ballots are beginning to go out to voters around the country, this is a good reminder to send them back early, to hand deliver them when possible, or to vote in person on or before Election Day (unless you are forced to vote on touchscreen systems at the polls. In which case, fight like hell to vote via hand-marked paper ballot via absentee or vote-by-mail.)

And DeJoy couldn't give a flip.

Trump has voted by mail. Now tell us how you feel about felons being allowed to vote.
