I don't understand the difference between absentee voting (w or w/o and "excuse) and mail in voting. Some states allow the former but not that latter. That list also doesn't have ballot harvesting which is a big advantage for the vote scammers.
As of May 2022:[1][2]
25 states and D.C. permitted someone chosen by the voter to return mail ballots on their behalf in most cases
11 states specified who may return ballots (i.e., household members, caregivers, and/or family members) in most cases
1 state explicitly allowed only the voter to return their ballot
13 states did not specify whether someone may return another's ballot

Elections will not be anywhere near honest until we have:
paper ballots with no machine counting
clear, lucite boxes into which the completed ballots are deposited
votes are hand counted and recorded at the precinct level, on camera
voting is tied to citizenship
ID and signature verification is required
