By this point, I’m sure you’ve all heard the various horror stories about mail-in ballots going missing, being sent to the wrong homes, getting set on fire, tossed into dumpsters and all the rest. Why? Because there are so many of them as compared to a “normal” election year. But are there really? This rather odd story from the Associated Press quotes some figures that don’t seem to line up with the hype. The focus of the article is the large number of ballots that were sent out but have yet to be returned. Underlying those bits of data, however, are the total numbers that have
The flood will happen after the election when the dems know how many more Biden votes need to magically appear.

My husband and I moved to a new county August 1st. We registered to vote at our new address on the second. We received our new registration cards shortly after. Then about a week ago I received a letter from the Illinois Secretary of State and the Board of Election Commissioners in our old county, but sent to our new address, not forwarded. It said that I had been sent a mail in ballot and, if I decided to vote in person, I had to bring that ballot with me, even if it was damaged and unusable. I never requested or received a mail in ballot.
I called the Board of Elections in my new county because I was afraid that when I went to vote I would not be allowed to without my unused ballot. The Clerk told me that they had been inundated with calls. The SOS sent the letter to everyone, regardless of whether they requested it or not and that it caused so many people to panic for the same reasons I did. Especially us "seniors" who he said take "voting pretty seriously." He could not explain why my old country office was on the letterhead.
We both went to vote early fearing the long lines we'd heard about and the nasty weather we have been having. Maybe it was sign from the Holy Spirit but when we arrived, the lines had dissipated, the sun came out, and we had a beautiful sunset. Fifteen minutes, in and out, two more for Trump/Pence! This may be Illinois but they only signs on the outskirts of the polling place were Trump signs. Haven't seen a Biden yet.

They are being collected, marked for Traitor Joe and will be delivered on election day.

We mailed ours circa October 8. Yesterday I checked on the state website here in NC and (according to it) our ballots were "accepted" on 10/10. I don't see the problem. And I don't approve of counting ballots after election day, except for absentee and military ballots mailed in a timely fashion. Too much room for chicanery.

The article includes: "Many states are setting up drop boxes where people can put them in the bin themselves . . ."
How do these get postmarked? How do the date and time of the "drop in" get affixed to the envelope?
Could it be a problem regarding Philadelphia drop in ballots? They must be accepted (even without a postmark) unless some other flaw voids the ballot.

I can tell you that in Pennsylvania not all of the ballots were requested. My Mother-in-law received four mail-in ballots without requesting any: one for herself, one for each of her two dead husbands (one died a little under 2 years ago, one died over 20 years ago), and for my wife (who moved out of her house over 20 years ago).

#7, and in some households, all four will be voted, I have no doubt, or sold to Dems who will vote them.

Did I read somewhere that now the Post Office is telling folks to vote in person because they're not going to get the ballots in on time. Does " I told you so come to mind?"

That's why they don't care if the signatures match, or if the ballot is even signed!

So you decide to vote in person, take the ballots and return them to the polling station. What then? Are they destroyed at that time? Or put in some "lockbox", where somehow somebody in a back room somewhere can have access to them?
The opportunities for mischief and fraud are numerous. That is why I fear that in some battleground states these ballots could cause serious trouble.
