I ask because according to this Trump and the GOP are trying to encourage mail in voting this news was from last year. I'm not really sure if Trump has said much about voting by mail this year.

However, co-chair of the RNC Lara Trump promises ballot harvesting to be part of new RNC strategy. Which is very good news if you're a Trump supporter.

...“Unfortunately, we don’t have one day of voting, we don’t have paper ballots, we don’t have voter ID everywhere. So we have to play the hand that we’re dealt,†Trump said, noting the importance of early voting and mail-in voting where possible. “That way, we have votes banked as we head into Election Day, and we’re not playing catch up on Nov. 5 with the Democrats.â€
“We need to be doing legal ballot harvesting — something that has never been done by the RNC, but I can promise you will be a huge part of what we’re planning to do,†she added. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...-rnc-strategy/

Ballot harvesting is allowed in many states just means someone else takes your ballot to a mailbox, or drop box. You could call a mailman a ballot harvester. It's the dumbest term ever because several red states like Florida, SD, and lot of others have the exact same laws as California when it comes to "Ballot harvesting". Hand full of states passed laws restricting it because it was something they could claim they were doing about all the fraud going on in elections.
Look here see all the green states have the same laws. 24 states and D.C. permitted someone chosen by the voter to return mail ballots on their behalf in most cases

Lara Trump (co-chair of the RNC) understands the importance of early voting and is promising to make ballot harvesting/early voting a big part of the RNC strategy this election.
...To increase voter participation, various organizations in multiple states have made active and coordinated efforts to collect absentee voters' ballots during elections. Then they drop them off at polling places or election offices.
...Although ballot harvesting is legal in some states, it is illegal in others. However, some of the same tactics are used both in states where ballot harvesting is legal and where it is illegal.
This leads ballot harvesting to generate controversy, praise, and criticism from people across the political spectrum. Some practices that are uniformly illegal across the nation include:
Filling out a ballot for another voter
Intimidating a voter into voting for or against a candidate
Influence a voter's decision
In practice, ballot harvesting does tend to increase the number of votes tallied within a given election without much controversy. However, voting laws vary significantly from state to state, and small differences in voting law can significantly impact an election. https://www.findlaw.com/voting/how-u...-it-work-.html
Oregon and WA doesn't have voting polling places. It's mail-dropoff.
Like lot of states in the west did away with requiring an valid excuse to absentee voting years ago. No one really argued about it until 2020.
My neighbor hardcore Trump supporter he voted by mail for years until 2020 he decide to change back to voting in person. He complained that he had a difficult time going up hill with his cane lot of stairs leading up to the front entrance of the church where voting was being done.
My belief is very simple. Unless you have a legitimate reason to be elsewhere or an illness that prevents you from voting in person, you go to the polls and vote. If it's not important enough to you to put forth the effort, then perhaps the result isn't either. Otherwise it's no more important or meaningful than voting in this poll.
Any strategy which gives an advantage to one party over the other must be eliminated!!!!!!!!
One day to vote!!!! this is the cornerstone of our democracy, the only legal outlet to approve or disapprove of a candidate and policies, take that away, and the nation will dissolve.
