I am not sure about that. Maybe it needs to be postmarked by a certain date or arrive by the 12th.

I asked because it seems like a significant delay compared to election day considering most EVs are awarded within a few hours to a few days.

Mail in ballots are Ok but they are not being vetted as legitimate and republican poll watchers are not being allowed to observe.

I presume you’re referring to Michigan, right? They already have the maximum number, by state law, of poll challengers - appointed before the election by both the state’s Republican Party and the state’s Democratic Party - monitoring the counting of the ballots. That’s a part of the state’s process.

Poll observers are allowed outside the event, but by state laws they can’t come in and try to interact with the counting or try to interact with the poll challengers or try to disrupt or distract the ballot counting process and poll challengers.

Part of what we’re seeing there now are some groups of people (some angry/upset) wanting to get in there...and by state law, that’s illegal, especially with the already appointed Republican and Democrat poll challengers already doing their jobs in there along with the ballot counters.

(I’m guessing the observers trying to enter the room either want to (1) prove themselves or make claims themselves of the ballot counting being fraudulent or (2) generally disrupt the process or cause chaos, either in the hopes of halting or in the thoughts that they might effect the numbers of the final count...either way, the officers there would have their work cut out for them, since all that would come of these observers doing such would be them getting arrested for breaking state law.)

Yes, Republicans are the party of integrity. Hell I hope we did rig it and Biden ends up pardoning somebody to remain quiet after he refuses to be interviewed by a special counsel.

Gee I wonder where our politicians get that laws don’t apply to then

Do you know if that is for all mail in ballots or for Americans voting out of country? And is that the traditional deadline for NC?

Supreme Court leaves NC absentee ballot deadline at Nov. 12

The State Board of Elections had lengthened the period as part of a late September legal settlement with the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, a union-affiliated group represented by Marc Elias, a lawyer prominent in Democratic circles. The legal settlement, which also loosened requirements for fixing absentee ballots that lacked a witness signature, was approved by a state judge. The settlement said counties should have longer to accept ballots because of possible mail delays.

A federal judge later ruled that counties couldn’t accept absentee ballots that lacked a witness signature but declined to intervene on the deadline extension.

Gorsuch said the state legislature already had responded to voting challenges related to the pandemic by allowing absentee ballots to arrive three days after the election and still be counted. The election board and the state judge “worked together to override a carefully tailored legislative response to COVID,” Gorsuch wrote.
