14. "Shouldn't" sure. But they do.

And we must demand that counties be equipped to handle turnout.

No one should face unreasonable barriers to voting -- regardless of when or how they choose to vote.

And in states that don't have early in person voting, people may choose to vote on election day because their vote is far more likely to be counted. A very high number of mail in ballots are disqualified.

Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters, according to the state’s numbers.1 Black voters have mailed in 13,747 ballots, with 642 rejected, or 4.7 percent.


Think about it: 4.7% that is an amazingly high number.

Add this to the fact that Biden voters are FAR more likely to vote by mail, and you have a Trump win.
