This may have to do with the court decision supporting counting all military ballots that were mailed late.

I am suspicious of this unless the military ballots are identified separately. It also shouldn’t affect the result unless the number of mailed military ballots exceeds the difference between the top two vote getters. Other absentee ballots that come in late should not be counted.

“I am suspicious of this unless the military ballots are identified separately.”

Military ballots are handled through the military mail system. They are identifiable. In 2000 DemocRAT attorneys in Florida managed to disqualify military ballots because they were not postmarked as required by Florida law — that was because service people do not pay postage (that law has since been superseded by a federal law). So, yes, military ballots *can* be identified.

Then, wouldn't there be similar delays in states like New York and Illinois which have had huge problems with getting military ballots out?
