Depends on the State laws. All are different. In Wisconsin, not ballots received after election day are valid. It's in the election laws. And voters who use mail, need to be aware of this and give ample time or make alternative plans.
That makes no sense. What does that have to do with each election laws. And I assume each states election laws are drafted by both Ds and Rs.
if state law allows mail ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by election day, they will be counted.
Not really. CA for example passes laws with only Democrats. If Democrats think waiting will hurt them, they will not want to wait. Pretty clear to me.
Democrats get ready for the wailing and gnashing of teeth by Democrats. How could Biden lose they will wail. He did not reach the hearts of voters we will report to them.
Trump will challenge this, demanding that votes not received by election day not be counted. even if state law allows for it
Interesting how you inserted your own particular conditions. I had not put in more than my opinion. And you assume wrong.
Suppose I had said that same thing against Biden? You would yell prove it. So I say prove that claim you made. Biden has far more to fear than Trump does.
It has already happened and can and likely will happen again. A federal judge on Monday ordered the New York State Board of Elections to count thousands of absentee ballots that were disqualified because of missing postmarks, https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2020/08/05/judge-orders-state-to-count-disputed-ballots-in-ny-primary/
The only missing postmark ballots that the judge said should be counted were those received by the day after the election date. Which . . . yeah. If you receive them the day after the election, they were most likely submitted by the election date. "Ballot harvesting" after the election isn't going to help at that point.
