President Trump's campaign called on a federal judge to stop the state of New Jersey's plans to count mail-in votes prior to Election Day, pending the results of a lawsuit the campaign filed in August.
In a court filing in the lawsuit against New Jersey's secretary of state, the campaign, the Republican National Committee and the New Jersey GOP also sought blockage of New Jersey's plan to count ballots without postmarks that are received up to two days after Election Day.
"Congress did not intend voting to continue after Election Day," the filing said, according to the New Jersey Globe.

More than 1,600 uncounted NJ primary ballots found in random bin at county elections board
This is the best indication thus far that New Jersey is not just competitive in 2020 but that Trump’s internal polling shows that he is leading in New Jersey.
The Trump campaign should also demand in lawsuits that the only mail in ballots counted should be delivered to thee counting center by the day of the election. If it arrives on Wednesday too bad. Also, the ballots should be deposited into a locked room until they are counted and nobody goes into that room
That would be pretty sweet if Trump even came close in New Jersey. He lost 2016 by 55%-41%.

*sigh* Why just two days? Why not a month after the election. Or a year.

That might have something to do with Murphy's EOs. I'm more concerned about ballots without postmarks. That means the Dems can just manufacture however many votes they need to win after the election. If the ballots don't have a postmark AND arrive (or are "found") after election day, too bad.
Many Repubs in NJ plan to hand deliver their ballot to the Board of Elections office or a secure ballot box by or on election day which means they won't have postmarks on them, but they will be valid.
