New York's polls closed nearly three weeks ago. But many candidates still don't know whether they've won -- because New York City is still counting ballots that arrived in the mail. These votes would be an afterthought in most years. In fact, in New York, which is typically far more reliant on in-person voting, state law requires a weeklong delay before counting absentee ballots. But this year, amid widespread worries of COVID-19 spreading at polling places, the number of mail-in ballots is surging far faster than states' ability to count them. Elections experts are increasingly convinced that this surge, and the

Just say no to ballot mail in- how many of those thousands are out of state post marked? 1000 absentees from Podunk, Al voting in NYC election? And Podunk, Al only has a population of 500?
Nothing fishy or manipulative about the outcomes...
I wonder how much Soros is paying for each mail in ballot? I may apply for job.. seems it can be played both ways-

FTA: "There's this thing called the blue shift," McDonald said, "in which the longer counting goes, the more Democratic votes come in."
Interpretation. The longer counting goes the more democrat ballots are found in car trunks and closets.

For any upcoming elections where everyone has received a mail ballot, what is to stop people from going to the polls in person and voting again? If they can’t keep track now, how about in the future? Therefore all mail ballots have to be invalidated or there will be horrendous chaos. We may not know who gets elected and if the results were fair.

Definitely a dry run for November. The anti-Trump forces have no intention of conceding the election. Fresh ballots will show up for weeks, maybe months, and they will demand that every vote be counted. The Republicans better be fighting this NOW. They better be able to match up each ballot to a valid voter in the district the ballot was receive. One ballot, one vote. Even then it will still be overrun by corruption. If they cancel mail in ballots, how many legitimate ballots will be lost? Mine will. Can't cancel the election either.
The Democrats planned this.

That is the leftist and liberal Democrat plan for the November election. So don’t be surprised.
Remember the longer the uncounted ballots are out there, the more chance is that they can be manipulated.

ABC lamenting ballot issues, with slams at Trump and Republicans, without a word on vote harvesting.

The Democrat way is simply counting ballots until their candidate wins. If they are losing, you just keep bringing in more ballots (harvesting). We can not allow this to happen.

And how many real ballots have been intentionally waylaid for political reasons?
How many fraudulent ballots created and sent in?
Voting by mail guarantees massive, systemic, organized FRAUD. Count on it.

Just throwing in my 2 cents...if this is true (and I have no reason to doubt that the Dems will try to hijack the election any way they can) shouldn't it be counted as a coup? This is an illegal attempt at swaying a "free" election and should be met with FIRING SQUADS for TREASON.

How can you be getting ballots in the mail 3 weeks after the postal deadline? Oh, blame it on the Postal workers.

According to the article, election “experts” have concerns. Some examples:
New York is still counting primary votes. “We don’t know who won!”
The surge in absentee ballots could lead to a constitutional crisis.
Election results could be delayed for weeks.
The volume of ballots has resulted in election “disasters.”
40,000 to 50,000 voters requested absentee ballots, but never received them.
The pressure to count ballots quickly would result in ballots being “accepted or rejected without proper consideration.”
The volume of mail-in ballots will overwhelm states and lead to an extended, chaotic counting process.
There are always postal delays.
Voters’ signatures cannot be adequately validated by vote counters.
Suggested solutions by these experts include, for examples:
More funding, although they admit that’s unlikely to happen.
More ballot drop boxes where ballots can be picked up by election officials rather than the Post Office.
The expressed hope that states implement proper processes or that elections result in landslides to mitigate controversies.
None of these experts suggested the idea of eliminating the policy of sending absentee ballots to all registered voters, alive and dead; citizens or non-citizens; and local and non-local residents. There was no suggestion of getting back to in-person voting on the actual Election Day; presenting IDs, or sending absentee ballots to persons who actually request them.

3 weeks later and ballots are still piling up. Sounds like a dry run for November.
