Late changes by executive are ALWAYS going to be challenged changes that go past election day doubly so.

It is a ticking time bomb. Get the ballots to people early let them vote early. Tell them to mail it back at least a week for before election day.

In this case Biden wins without it but we might not be as lucky next time. Last minute changes that go past election day is just playing fire. It is going to blow up one time.
