Georgia is the only state where overseas military ballots could flip the state back to Trump. Should we accept military ballots with no postmark and/or received after deadline? Really curious what people think about the issue.
No postmark, but received before the deadline: absolutely No postmark, but received after the deadline: needs to be investigated. Pertinent questions: were they delivered by the USPS? Why weren't they postmarked? My hope is that there will be very few of these.
I am indeed a little conflicted about this one. some military mail does not get postmarked, so it would have behooved the military personnel to get their mail to the US BEFORE November 3rd. It is on them. However, I am more of a "count them all" type of guy so I would allow them. I just find it ironic that you know the Trump admin is going to fight to get these unmarked, past due date votes counted while trying to deny votes that arrived within the grace period as written by law. I am guessing that as usual the morally corrupt admin will not see the disconnect there. Those of us old enough do remember that the Gore camp toyed briefly with the idea to reject overseas votes w/o postmarks, but this was seen as such a PR mess that they gave up the idea.
In the era of global communications there has to be a way to allow all of our servicemen to vote securely and on time. Why the Pentagon can't seem to fit that into their $750 billion budget is beyond me.
There is, its called postal voting. But if that won't suffice, why should you expect the Pentagon to develop a secure, fast, reliable (and presumably digital) voting system when somehow all 50 States somehow don't see the need to implement something similar or every other registered voter in the country?
