8. one more thing where the states make the rules.

Some states have made provision to "stretch" the time frame for receipt of mail-in ballots. Some have not. Likewise, some have specific rules on postmark dating. Some do not. I think it is unlikely that the courts will want to step in to supersede those state election laws -- particularly as the situation with the delays in USPS delivery was well know, and well in advance of the actual election.

In other words -- It is what it is. And your state decides whether that ballot counts or not.
