If I vote per mail, I do not infringe on anyone else's right to do so. Unlike parking on a spot reserved for handicapped people, that very much is to the disadvantage of handicapped people that need it more.
Second, it will not become the system everyone uses.
Multiple states have all or nearly all mail-in ballots. Some only conduct elections by mail. Some send ballots to all voters so that they can opt to vote by mail. Oregon has done it since the 90's.
They've found that it saves money, increases turnout, and that there's no increased threat of fraud.
There's no actual argument against it other than a desire for lower voter turnout.
