A couple questions/comments.
1) Why should an unsigned ballot be considered a vote? Why is it being reported as though its conspiracy?
2) In a swing state, a random batch of ballots will likely be very tight, like 48/52 for either candidate, so 1.5% of the mail in ballots going uncounted should be something like 1.5% times 4% of 2.5mm anticipated mail in ballots means 1,500 critical swing votes in a state with nearly 10,000,000 voters.. well that seems like pretty strong results.
3) I always think, if that's the best the chaos monkeys can do, then I think I feel pretty good about the process?
4) Is following the stated and simple rules that 98.5% of the other voters managed to comply with, for the special dispensation of getting to vote remotely really all that burdensome?
