Not necessarily - in any normal election I’d agree with you - but with the mail in ballots some cities/states (don’t know about Allegheny) allowed mail in ballots to be dropped off - so they have no postmark. Not sure if they’re referring to the postmark here or some marked date of receipt.
Frankly, given the lack of security, I think a court should rightly toss them out.
Every Pennsylvania County had at least one VBM drop off point prior to Election Day.
Exactly. Permitting ballots to be counted which were returned after the FO date/time enables fraud.
The exception are absentee ballots, which are quite different than mail-in ballots or, for that matter, provisional ballots.
It’s unbelievable that people permitted the changes which culminated in the US’ worst election in memory, perhaps ever.
Kansas was one of the states that allowes mailin ballots to be dropped off. A witness was only required if that person helped to fill out the ballot.
We dropped off our ballots in CA, no postmark, picked up from the drop point by a delivery service. We signed the ballots when we dropped them off as being dropped directly and not being mailed. They got a delivery date of election day.
It all depends on the state and the process. What I described was San Jose CA.
