I don’t support election fraud, no.

As long as the postmark is on or before Election Day, the ballots should be counted.

NOPE! Only cheaters want grace periods so they can cheat. I don’t care what the Democrats say, there is absolutely NO excuse whatsoever not to get your vote in on time by election night, period! 😂😂 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Didn’t you read your own article?

Makes sense to me that if a registered voter has a postmark on a mail in ballot on Election Day, it should be counted.

I absolutely do not support the unethical late ballot counting.

Just like with taxes, if your ballot is not postmarked on time, it is late. With the IRS, the penalties and late fees begin immediately.

The penalty for a late ballot is that it simply must not count.

If they can't make up their mind before election day, they need to show up in person ( the way it should be anyway).

Read your own article.

Ballots can be postmarked on or before Election Day and still take several days to be delivered. What if you mail your completed ballot on Election Day while on vacation in Florida but you live in Alaska? Expecting the ballot to be delivered later that same day is totally unrealistic.

I don't know. I think every state should accept all ballots postmarked by Election Day, regardless of when they get delivered.

Oh, so something a candidate says within a month of Election Day could change someone's vote. And how would people in the military serving overseas just hop on a plane last-minute to vote? You really haven't thought your position through, have you?

Kook

IRS goes by postmark date, regardless of when the tax return is delivered. So that means you believe in grace periods for ballots.

How does it work for the IRS? Do it the same way.

It’s called absentee ballots. They have always had those. That’s not a ballot mailed to every registered voter. Even the 300,000 dead ones because the roles are out of date. Go back to absentee ballots and in person only.

Yes, if the delay is due to USPS. Delivery to USPS means delivery to the government. If it works for tax returns it should be the same for ballots.

That grace period is normally when a poll worker amazingly “discovers” 30k ballots, and all for one party - so that is No for me

I’m willing to bet those 14 states don’t have voter ID either.

This mess could all be avoided if Congress did their damn jobs and passed the Save America Act like 84% of the American people want.

Absolutely not. Election Day should be a hard cutoff. A few days prior as the cutoff for mail-ins would actually make more sense.

Sure, if the postmark is on or before election day.

As long as it’s postmarked by Election Day I don’t see the problem. What about the elderly and those in the military? Should they have to be physically present to vote? It is not practical for them to do so.

I mailed a letter from Washington State to Texas that took 35 days to get delivered.

You think candidates stop campaigning one month before Election Day?

Of course you need to honor the postmark and count the ballots. First Americans don't deserve to be disenfranchised. But second, it accounts for any type of disruption in transit – traffic, weather, North Korean freighter sitting in the harbor,…

Typical Republican playbook.

1) get rid of grace periods even if the postmark is by the required dat

2) sabotage usps so they can’t deliver ballots on time

How does it work for the IRS? Do it the same way.

Nobody said that grace periods allow sending ballots late except you.

IRS goes by postmark date.

Yes. Perfect. Stop accepting ballots marked days late.

The IRS expects payments on time or there is a penalty! I know that from experience. Credit card payments must be paid on time.

Only if postmarked Election Day or before…

Poly … you’re pushing smoke to confuse a very easy issue. There is NO way that a ballot delivered 21 days after Election Day was postmarked on time.

Unethical leftists demand that ballots that are postmarked and/or hand delivered after Election Day.

This is yet another reason why we can’t trust Democrats with power.

They should get rid of mail in ballots in total except for the military over seas. And the few that are allowed to vote by mail they should have a cut off to vote my mail 1 month before Election Day. No ballots should be accepted after Election Day even if it’s post mark on Election Day.

Florida has polling stations, why do you need a mail in ballot?

These aren't new rules. They are clarifying existing procedure. Same-day postmarks have never been guaranteed.

100 degree temps and long lines - DeSantis and his crowd closed a lot of polling locations hoping to drive down the number of voters.

Sunny supports all that MAGA voter suppression – he should HAVE to stand in line.

They must arrive at the post office on time. Just like your tax return. The grace period is to get the ballots from the post office to the election counting facility. Not to allow people to send them in a week late.

A lot of people who were too sick or immobile simply didn't vote. Weird that you would want to return to that.

Seems simple

That’s not a grace period to me. That means it has to be post marked on time. But last election they allowed ballots postmarked days late. Why?

Exactly. Eliminate mail in voting and a mail in ballot sent to every registered voter. That’s just asking for fraud. Then only allow absentee and in person voting. The absentee ballots have to be postmarked by Election Day at midnight. Just like the IRS does it. There. I fixed it.

Which jurisdiction counted ballots that were postmarked days late? Do you have a source?

"If it comes down to a single statement to make you change your vote in a general election then you are the outliner. Most people make up their minds on who they are going to vote for months before an election."

So what? You want to deny the vote to people who decide last-minute? Why?

"They aren’t being denied they can vote in person"

And I JUST TOLD YOU that people serving overseas in the military can't just jump on a plane back to the US whenever they want. Damn dude, you're not very bright.

Wrong. California has a shorter grace period than Washington. Washington's grace period is the longest in the nation (21 days). And every ballot that is counted in Washington must be postmarked on or before Election Day. I have had letters take 35 days to get from Seattle to Dallas, so it's not as crazy as it sounds. Maybe you should educate yourself before making yourself look like an even bigger moron than you already have.

You have provided ZERO evidence that accepting ballots after Election Day increases voter fraud. Zero. So how is your position "common sense?" It's based purely on your own paranoia.

"I don’t have to provide evidence"

Conservative worldview 101. If they feel it, it must be true. 😂

Nope, I don’t believe it. I call total bullshit on that, it’s just an excuse! Nobody but cheaters believes that. 😂😂😂

Don’t know, but it’s a waste of their time and money. 😉😂
