I recently moved to Michigan from Colorado. I wish Michigan would adopt mail in voting. It was extremely convenient to receive my ballot in the mail, complete it in the comfort of my home and mail it back or drop it off. They had a tracking system so that I can confirm that my ballot was accepted (or not). And if it wasn't for whatever reason, I could follow up on it, or even vote in person.

This is good news regardless, at least I'll have a few days to get to the polls.

We do have it. Back several years when it came up, it was passed with bi-partisan support. Now that the GOP sees absentee/mail-in voting as a problem (especially during Covid, when people didn't want to congregate in line) they've rallied against it. But with the current make up of the Michigan legislature, I doubt they'll be able to pass restrictions.
