I had always thought the US the most advanced country but was told it just wasn't profitable to distribute national papers to some more remote areas. That's capitalism I guess.
So individual states decide on whether they want to accept votes based on postmark if they don't have great postal coverage. They have the right to do that. From what I have read the % of fraud in US elections is too small to make a difference to the outcomes. (based on audits they have carried out). I don't think they will find any fraud of significance (ie. immaterial to influence the result). But they will find different processes in place in different states and maybe even different counties. That's already known. it is nothing new.
Annie, very well stated. AND, accurate !
I'm having a hard time understanding why so many people are determined to believe Trump's accusations of massive voter fraud.
PS: that postal service employee who claimed that ballots were "back-dated" has admitted that he lied.
