While mail-in voting sounds compassionate, there is no real way to check voter ID. I don’t know of any way to check voter ID effectively via mail. At the very least we need to discontinue “early voting” by mail. At the very most we should allow only “absentee voting” besides in-person. I.e., you get to mail in your ballot only if you are outside the country for the entire period of early voting. And then only with a current picture that can be matched against the picture taken when you registered. If you are in the country at any time within the early voting period, you must show up in person to vote at your election office.
Otherwise you are not serious about submitting a valid vote.
Elections are regulated by the states. Let each state decide for itself if it has an election integrity issue and needs to tighten procedures for mail-in voting, for example.

What do you do if a state has low standards on purpose to throw a Federal Election?
Perhaps sue in federal court to restore equality of voting rights.
