The Election Clause in constitution directs and empowers states to determine the “Times, Places, and Manner” of voting in federal elections. The state certainly has the authority to set the deadline and conditions for accepting votes. As long as the state makes that information known to voters there is nothing unfair or illegal. In most states, mail-in ballots can be delivered to any state election office prior to the deadline so they do not have go through the post office. All this stuff varies by state. What state were you referring to?Read what I wrote. At least one state has proposed to accept mail in votes regardless of the postmark or lack thereof.In every state that I am familiar with, every vote cast by the time the polls close or postmarked prior to either midnight or poll closing will be counted regardless of how long it takes the post office to delivery the ballots. In most states the secretary of state has 10 or 14 days to certify the vote. Since most mail-in ballots are received several days before election day, there should be plenty of time to have all votes counting before the election is certified. The deadline for resolving disputes is not till Dec 8th. There should be no need to extend any deadline for votes. At worst ,the post office certifies receipt of ballots prior to the deadline.Some blue states are promoting counting ballots received late regardless of postmark our lack thereof. They need a window of time after the in-person votes are counted to see just how many fraudulent mail-in votes they need to come up with.Since Trump has put his man in charge of the postal services charged with implementing budget cuts at a time when the postal service is having increased problems due to Covid, there is no doubt that some deliveries will be delayed but there is no reason to assume that this will have any effect on the outcome of the election. As long as votes are received by the post office before the cutoff time, they will be processing. However, if Trump is successful in suppressing voter turnout by limiting mail in voting that may well have an effect. The commonly held wisdom is high voter turnout helps democrats. I don't know if that has been shown to be true or not.No, they would do it in order to blame the delay on Trump instead of their idiotic "vote early; vote often" mail-in campaign.Yeah, the democrats would sabotage the USPS proving Trump was right that mailing in voting will create lots of problems and a fraudulent electionHillary recently predicted that Trump will disrupt the election by sabotage of the USPS to support his own prediction that it may take months to determine the legitimate winner. I think this should be our notice that she intends to do just that with the help of her minions.
What the left wants is to initiate mob violence after the election to cause shooting deaths of enough protestors to start our first real civil war.
This dissension Trump has created over mail voting is noting but a Trump tactic to establish blame for his loss of the election and probably a protest. Trump has to have something or someone to blame because he never loses and never makes any mistakes.
In simpler terms, the ballot can be accepted without a postmark even days after the polls close.
Not only that, it is relatively easy to fake a post mark with a rubber stamp.
