Looks like the Supreme Court is leaning towards denying late arriving ballots. I think there should be restrictions but, to me. if the ballot is postmarked 3 days before the election date then it should be counted.
I'm with you on the postmarked date.
If something is postmarked up until the day of the election, why should the voter be penalized because the post office runs at a snails pace?
There needs to be a reasonable cutoff, though. Let's be pragmatic about this. If you are going to send in something the day of, it could affect the outcome of something quite important. This isn't filing your taxes so that if the check is received on 4/18 vs. 4/20, it doesn't matter. Elections need decisions, not the shit that enabled J6 and other things. Let's get this shit counted and done and move the hell on.
I mail stuff off for ebay. During winter, it can take up to 2-3 weeks to get things to people when weather is bad.
It's not out of the realm that mail could be delayed in late October, early November. Those people shouldn't be punished for things they can't control.
I could be talked into maybe a week before the election as a cutoff, but that's as far as I'd be willing to go I think.
That is the reason I said postmarked 3 days before the election. I don't like the idea that anyone can see a certain candidate needs more votes because results are already being reported and then being able to go out and get a bunch of mail-in ballots sent in postmarked that day.There needs to be a reasonable cutoff, though.

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who know binary and those who don't.

I agree and am not trying to be unreasonable. I would consider even NPT's proposal of 3 days. I'm simply saying, it seems counterproductive to be allowed to mail in your ballot the day of the election and expect that a close election shouldn't be called for days or weeks to account for that.
Not to derail the thread, but are you selling anything interesting on EBAY? Sports cards, perhaps? I've gotten back into that.
@jdb yeah, I do sports cards and also shoes. Odd combo, but it's something fun to do with my youngest... go out and look for stuff at old shops, garage sales, card shows.

The only shit that caused J6 is sitting in the white house.
Amazing that we have had so many other elections go by without ever having that happen before. Nothing caused J6 other than the cry baby traitor that tried to steal an election when he lost.

and I have yet to see proof that has happened....ever.
One of the election deniers wet dream accusation?
