The Washington Post’s front page currently has an article entitled “More than 500,000 mail ballots were rejected in the primaries. That could make the difference in battleground states this fall.”
More than 534,000 mail ballots were rejected during primaries across 23 states this year — nearly a quarter in key battlegrounds for the fall — illustrating how missed delivery deadlines, inadvertent mistakes and uneven enforcement of the rules could disenfranchise voters and affect the outcome of the presidential election.
The rates of rejection, which in some states exceeded those of other recent elections, could make a difference in the fall if the White House contest is decided by a close margin, as it was in 2016, when Donald Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by roughly 80,000 votes.
As someone who never received my mail-in ballot for the NJ primary and had to vote by provisional ballot (and I hear that provisional ballots are rarely counted), I will be voting in-person on Nov 3, wearing my mask, virus or no virus.
