But the real reason appears to be a growing realization among campaign professionals that Democratic voters are much more likely to have problems filling out the ballot correctly and have it rejected. That is especially true if they have not voted by mail before:
In Florida, voters are twice as likely to have their absentee ballot rejected if they’ve never voted that way before, University of Florida political science professor Dan Smith told Axios.
In North Carolina, “Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters,” per FiveThirtyEight. Overall, data shows new, younger, Black and Hispanic voters are more likely to have their ballots rejected.
In swing states such as Pennsylvania, greater use of vote-by-mail by Democrats in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh combined with the greater chance of invalid ballots could easily provide the margin of victory to Trump.
Are Democrats starting to panic about the vote-by-mail push that they created?
Ballots should be postmarked by election day, not delivered (although most will be). That takes way DeJoy’s incentive to slow down delivery. And by enforcing the postmark rule, you won’t have to worry about manufactured votes.
Not the subject of the thread. Which is democrats might now be realizing what I posted on the subject here a week or two ago. Which is that mail in ballots are rejected at far higher rates than in person ballots.
