Mercedes Schlapp was really arguing ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but counted after Election Day amounts to voters casting ballots after Election Day? That’s where they are going w that?
Many states invalidate ballots that arrive after Election Day even if the postmark meets the deadline. Thousands of ballots have been thrown own bc of this and there’s been a huge push to count those that are postmarked before ED.
Different stats have different rules about it https://www.newsweek.com/these-states-invalidate-mail-ballots-after-election-day-1522060">https://www.newsweek.com/these-sta...
But here is what the Trump folks are doing: gutting the Post Office where mail is already slow, pushing NOT to count ballots if they arrive at election offices late (thru no fault of the voter), and opposing drop boxes where ballots could go directly to the election offices
You can’t look at this and think the Trump campaign is advocating anything to make voting easier in a pandemic. They are already trying to disqualify votes before they are cast!
Here’s one more piece about all the absentee ballots that get thrown out. If this is how you plan to vote, follow the instructions CAREFULLY! https://www.npr.org/2020/07/13/889751095/signed-sealed-undelivered-thousands-of-mail-in-ballots-rejected-for-tardiness">https://www.npr.org/2020/07/1...
