Indeed, I did this when I learned about the Phoenix mailbox fire. I knew my ballot wasn't in that box but I checked out of curiosity. My ballot has been received, my signature verified and my votes tallied. Very tidy, convenient and efficient - exactly how it should be in the age of the internet.
A friend in AZ used the system in 2020 and learned someone voted using his ballot - turns out it was his mother.
We used it this year and learned that my wife's ballot had a signature mismatch and needed to be cured. Good thing we found out, we're traveling abroad next week and we want our votes to count.
