The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day. The Wall Street Journal reported:
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld state laws that count mailed ballots if they are postmarked by Election Day but arrive a few days afterward. In a 5-4 decision, the high court ruled against the Republican Party, which argued that ballots must be in the possession of election officials by Election Day. No state allows the counting of ballots that are postmarked after Election Day. But laws in 14 states—a mix of red and blue jurisdictions—allow a general grace period for mailed ballots to arrive if voters drop them in the mail by Election Day. About a dozen other states have a similar grace period that applies only to military and overseas voters.... The case at the Supreme Court arose from a lawsuit by the Republican National Committee, which challenged Mississippi’s grace period of five business days. The RNC argued that the grace period there and in other states violated a law that establishes Election Day for federal offices as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Article

Private Bills (Credit Cards, Utilities, Mortgages): For private companies and creditors, payment is generally considered "on time" only when it is physically received and processed by their due date, not just postmarked.
State Agency Payments: By law in Mississippi, payments, reports, or tax returns mailed to state agencies, counties, or municipalities are considered timely if postmarked by the U.S. Post Office on or before the due date.
Those have nothing to do with voting or the constitution. Keep trying to disenfranchise people and it’s going to come back and bite you.
We will never have an honest election as long as mail in votes are allowed.
Keep on parroting your completely unfounded allegations. While you are at it, please provide evidence, not hearsay, supporting your allegations. You can't.
@11:51, provide evidence, not hearsay, that mail-in ballots are 100% secure. You can't.
80% of the postal workers are union members.which is an arm of the democratic party. Mail in ballots are easy to corrupt.
11:02 who would be disenfranchised? Is someone who walks up to a polling place at 9:00 PM and finds the doors locked disenfranchised?
