“And if they don’t then how do we know that they have submitted their ballot on time?”
Well, the law requires the ballot be received on or before election day. That is actually received, not just postmarked. That hasn’t changed.
The law apparently allows the voter to write any random date they want on the ballot. How does letting the voter write in ‘July 4 1776’, for example, verify when the voter filled out the ballot?
How do we know when any voter actually filled out a ballot? Just because they fill in a date doesn’t prove anything.
A dated ballot can prevent the vote counters from cheating.

I don't see that in the election code, can you cite that clause in the law that allows false dates?

I would imagine there are perjury penalties for forging a signature and/or date. You think that we should just jettison such requirements?
