I do, too, as a native Oregonian.  Even did a paper advocating for it in college (didn't truly know enough to do it well at that time, though).  That said, now in the engineering world, I am surprised at the speed at which some states put in modifications.  We wouldn't do that with chemical processes, preferring instead to do an extensive line-by-line hazard analysis and risk assessment.  No way there was time to do that in some of the states' operation, and that played in to the hands of Trump's strategy.  I'm not arguing against mail-in ballot options, but I am saying that in the zeal to make that happen, people left some holes that will be exploited.  That's not saying that much or enough fraud happened to matter.  In fact, the analysis suggests it really couldn't have.  And that's not a huge surprise.  Trump barely cobbled together enough votes in 2016, and his own bullying and insulting behavior not only cost him some but it activated energy in the other side.  That's his own fault.

An interesting "what if" conversation is:  could a populist like Trump have held on to power if he had not fallen to that insulting behavior?  I'm thinking that wasn't truly what cost him in the end, and it may have even helped him with a certain segment of his base, who sees him as pugnacious.  So what was it then?  I'd say the haphazard spring coronavirus conferences did him a lot of harm and showed enough people that he wasn't a serious or capable administrator.  Those of us here likely already knew this, but I've heard Republicans here say that those news conferences were the last straw.
