It does though. If your vote was coerced you can always request another ballot, which invalidates the first.
If you're getting paid to vote a certain way, then nothing here really changes. California already had vote by mail as an option.
Seems pretty well the same to me, but I guess the having to request the ballot makes some people feel better about it.
And whoever is coercing you could also ask for the info for the My Voter Status website [1] and verify that the ballot that the person coercing used was the one that was counted (maybe based on the date recorded as received by the county). They could definitely make sure you didn't go vote in person.

The number of mail in votes increases significantly, so if you believe in potential risk with those, then there is a significant increase in overall risk.
I'm not sure that'd necessarily be effective in cases where somebody is being coerced by their spouse to vote a certain way.
