That contradicts the constitution. Because what you are saying is that states are allowed to accept ballots a year later because post office had lost them for a year inside the post office complex but the stamp said the envelope was mailed on or before Tuesday in November.
You are attributing words to me that I did not post or imply. As I stated above, the only count that matters is the count certified by the state under the laws of their election. This whole "counting stops at 2359 on election day" is incorrect, and no serious person is advancing that legal opinion. SCOTUS is not going to go tell 1 state, let alone all 50 states to void their certification and re-certify based on the count at 2359.
