Unexpected outcome in Wisconsin: Tens of thousands of ballots that arrived after Election Day were counted....
So, the infamous mail in votes, that Republicans and Dems use in equal measures, will NOT be adversely affected by an increasingly strapped USPS collection of mail efforts. Postmark is EVERYTHING.
Back to the voter suppression drawing board, Trumpanzees.
However, if you choose, get in the voting line, unmasked and bellybutton to asshole, cause real 'Muricans! FREEDOM!! Wolverines!!! Badgers!!! Make it your last vote.

Tens of thousands of ballots that arrived after Election Day were counted, thanks to court decisions
Early last month, voters in Wisconsin navigated a dizzying number of rule changes governing the state’s spring elections as officials tussled over the risks of the novel coronavirus, prompting a backlog of absentee ballot requests and fears that many would not be able to participate.
But in the end, tens of thousands of mail ballots that arrived after the April 7 presidential primaries and spring elections were counted by local officials, a review by The Washington Post has found — the unexpected result of last-minute intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In Milwaukee and Madison alone, the state’s two largest cities, more than 10 percent of all votes counted, nearly 21,000 ballots, arrived by mail after April 7, according to data provided by local election officials.
The surprising outcome after warnings that many Wisconsinites would be disenfranchised amid the pandemic was the result of a largely unexamined aspect of the court’s decision that temporarily changed which ballots were counted.
Because of the order, election officials for the first time tallied absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day, rather than just those received by then — underscoring the power of narrow court decisions to significantly shape which votes are counted.

9. If the IRS accepts tax forms postmarked by April 15th as on time ...
why shouldn’t ballots be counted if postmarked by election day?
