The controversy over mail in ballots is a red herring.  If you requested a ballot, you could go to the post office or the local voting registration office. They could validate your ID and assign your ballot a unique control number tied to your area.   You vote, sign it and mail it in.  

Yes, a small amount of voter fraud could exist, but we have that now.  There is no reason a mail in process couldn't work.  The downfall is that the election prognosticators won't be able to project a winner 5 minutes after the polls close.  There won't be any instant gratification.

I've heard a not of ridiculous arguments against it, but I see them as red herrings.
