So, if you have a minor emergency, like a kidney stone and hospitalized for the day - you just miss your chance to vote in that election?
If so, I see a lot to dislike. As the point I was making is you can’t anticipate what might come up. Just because it’s worked thus far doesn’t mean it’s designed for resilience. There’s a lot of ways you could miss out in that type of situation. I seems silly to make sure everything else is redundant and fault tolerant in the name of democracy when the democratic process itself isn’t doing the same.
If hospitalized on that specific day: Sign the back of the voting card and give your ID to a family member, they can cast your vote
