That Republican preference for voting at polling locations was possibly
because of the words of their supreme leader who kept claiming that mail
in ballots were not safe.

 BK> Democrats tends to prefer the opportunity to sit at home

Because it was easier, and because it was less risky with respect to
Covid.  Since I am in a high risk category, I would feel very hesitant
to go to a walk up polling place, especially since there would be many
people there who would not be observing safe ruls of mask and distance.

 BK> This was proven in this election when traditional

 BK> ago went Democratic (at least for the President).

The real proof was that the early returns from polling stations seemed
to be mostly Republican or split, but then the mail in ballots were
giving results of 75% or more for Democratic candidates.

 BK> I like my mail-in ballot. I actually take it to one of my

That is what I did.
