Thursday

California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington – conduct what is commonly referred to as an all-mail election, or universal mail-in voting.

I imagine they will all sue to overturn this and they should win easily. States get to set their own election rules and there’s nothing in the Constitution that says they have to give up the identity of all their voters to the Federal Government.

Finally, how does USPS filter out the mail-in ballots in the first place? Seems like they should carry some legal liability for withholding lawfully posted mail. Not to mention there are numerous ways ballot envelopes could be disguised if necessary.
