Do you think this is a legit strategy against the cheat?

THIS WON'T WORK. IT IS A PIPE DREAM. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
I've done this where I show up to vote and they said, "You can't vote, you requested mail-in ballot and you've been sent a ballot." "Go get that ballot and mail it in!" I asked if they would give me a provisional ballot to vote that day, and they would not.
I've also hand carried my mail-in ballot already filled out and signed and sealed. I asked if I could open it and send it through the machine to be counted while I waited and verified that it did get counted and they said, "No!" "They have to verify your signature and everything!"
And I said, "Why can't you verify it right now, and I can then put it through the machine and confirm for myself it gets counted?"
They said, "No. Put your ballot in here and it will get counted." They pointed to a big giant steel lockbox placed in the room. I asked them, "How often do these votes get picked up and counted?"
The woman replied that the steel box is picked up and emptied every day. So I dropped it in there, which was 2 days before the actual day of voting. I went online the next day to see if it was counted and it was not. For 4 more days it was listed as "Not Received". On the 5th day it was listed as "Accepted". But by then, the election had already been called for the other guy!
So, I think this is a loophole where they WON'T count those brought in, because they know all of them are going to be Trump supporters.
And, they say, that if there is no 'postage date stamp' on the ballot it will not meet compliance and will be discarded and not be counted.
So, did my 'in-person hand-carry' cause it to be set aside and not counted because there was no return postage stamp on it showing it was mailed back?
People don’t realize that absentee ballots are often counted after Election Day but before canvassing. Thus their ballots aren’t used to declare a winner if enough votes are obtained by in person voters. But your vote is still counted.
My advice is don't request an absentee ballot be sent to your home Vote in person instead if you want your vote to count on election night
