You truly believe there's nothing else at play? Being in the midst of a pandemic in 2020 had no part in voter turnout?

A lot of states expanded mail in voting. Probably removed a pretty large barrier of people who'd rather stay home than wait in line.

Sure, but unfortunately many people don't care about elections unless it directly and immediately impacts them. A war or a pandemic would absolutely and invariably rally more people to want change than adding little conveniences like mail ballots.
