Yeah that's wack. I have a mail in ballot for some local judicial elections on my desk rn and it has the no postage necessary thing on it so I guess it varies by state. I should also note that I'm in Florida which isn't exactly the best when it comes to voter rights.
The issue is with date stamping. Any mail you send with a Forever stamp on it gets a date of process stamp put on it, which is typically used to determine when the person submitted it to the post office. However, if there’s no date stamp, like with prepaid envelopes, then they’ll argue that any mail-in ballots received after Election Day should be invalidated as it can’t be proved if they were submitted before Election Day.
Like why the fuck do I need to put a stamp on my fucking mail-in ballot? That's a fucking poll tax

They usually have non-USPS drop-off boxes at gathering places like libraries too.
