The fight over which mail ballots should be counted during this year’s general election is already well underway.
Many states allow ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted — even if they arrive after in-person voting has ended.
But the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee argue this practice violates federal law, and they’ve filed multiple lawsuits aiming to disqualify ballots that arrive after Election Day.

We have election day for a reason. That is THE day that all ballots should be counted. If I am working late and can't get tothe polls for some reason I can't go in the next day and vote...it's done. Same with Mail in ballots. Everyone that votes by mail knows the deadlines. If you mail it late and it gets here late then it shouldn't count...your responsibilityt to mail it on time. I see our resident Anonymous person on here is bringing in the overseas and military issue. That is not an issue. I currently work for the DoD and they mandate that every installation voting office be fully manned and notify each individual about voting not only in their general elections but in their state of residence elelctions with mailing deadlines and those numbers are reported up the chain. If they miss the deadline then it shouldn't get counted...personal responsibility...something this admin and the left have forgotten:

How do you vote absentee?
There are three steps to voting absentee in an election:
Step 1: Register and request your absentee ballot using the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)
Provided under federal law, the FPCA registers you to vote and requests absentee ballots for a minimum of all federal elections in the current calendar year.
To get an FPCA
How often should I complete an FPCA? To ensure you continue to receive absentee ballots during your time away from your voting residence, be sure to submit a new FPCA every January, each time you move, or at least 90 days prior to the election you want to vote in.Online version:Use the online assistant at FVAP.gov to complete your FPCA. The online assistant guides you though your state's required information to complete the form. Once you have finished, download the PDF package, print, sign, and send.Visit FVAP.gov to download the fillable FPCA. Complete it using your state's requirements listed in Chapter 2 of the Voting Assistance Guide. Then print, sign, and send.
NOTE: You will need to provide an envelope to send your completed FPCA by mail. Envelope templates are available to download online at FVAP.gov. Hardcopy version:Get a hardcopy FPCA from a Voting Assistance Officer (VAO), at an Installation Voter Assistance (IVA) Office at any military installation, or at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Make a copy of the FPCA found in this Chapter or the Appendix of the Voting Assistance Guide. Send your completed and signed FPCA to your election official. To find your state transmission methods, see state requirements in Chapter 2 Absentee voting procedures by state or territory. How do I know what information must be included in the FPCA? Chapter 2 of the Voting Assistance Guide provides instructions for each state and territory for completing and transmitting the FPCA.
Step 2: Receive your absentee ballot
Your election official will process your FPCA to determine the appropriate ballot to send you. If you have questions about the status of your FPCA, contact your local election office directly. Your local election official will contact you if your application is denied or if they need additional information from you in order to process your form. Election officials are required to send absentee ballots no later than 45 days before an election for those who are registered and have requested a ballot. If you submit your FPCA within 45 days of the election, they will send your ballot as soon as possible, upon processing your form. All states must allow you to receive your blank absentee ballot electronically, when requested. This may include email, fax, or online download. What if I do not receive my absentee ballot and the election is 30 days away? If you do not receive your state absentee ballot 30 days before the election, use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Information about the FWAB can be found in Chapter 1 and in your state's pages in Chapter 2.
Step 3a: Return your voted state ballot
Vote and return your state absentee ballot as soon as you receive it with special attention to the specific methods of return authorized in your state. Follow the instructions sent with your ballot to mark and return your ballot. Pay special attention to whether or not your state requires the use of a secrecy envelope for your voted ballot.
Know the deadline. The date when your election office must receive your completed ballot is set by.
