It seems to me the real issue is the 5 business day window. I assume ballots are sent to the county seat for totals. 5 business days from postmarked just gives fraudsters (DEMOCRATS) a full week to generate fake backdated postmarked ballots in any quantity they want.
If USPS is too incompetent or too corrupt to move ballots across a single county within 24hrs, that’s a bigger problem.
Rule hould be postmarked plus 24hrs for counting. Outside of that, toss the ballots .
Good points, but add in early voting and it gets even worse. Voting day has turned into voting month before and after, it’s really pathetic that the states have let this happen. It’s also uber-sickening that the feds/SCOTUS even have to step in to slow down this voting madness.
In Maine all ballots cast on site or mail-in ballots must be in the hands of the town clerk by the close of voting. A collector from the town office and a person each party go to the Post Office and collects all mail-in at closing time on election day.
Mail-in voting seems, in general but not always, invitation for fraud. At least in the way the Democrats want it done. They need a certain amount of fraud to win an important election, as they have no real issues to base on.
