Oregon and Colorado have successfully done mail in voting for years, with safeguards like ballots having to arrive by Election Day and signature verification. Democrats fought to get rid of rules like that all over the country, and succeeded in Pennsylvania.
Signatures are still required in Pennsylvania, and many states have allowed ballots to arrive after the election for decades, including 3 of the states still uncalled (NV, NC, and Georgia). Moreover, military votes have been allowed to arrive after election day in nearly all states since at least WWII.
Requiring signatures yet refusing to reject ballots for mismatched signatures isn't much of a requirement: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/23/pennsylvania-court-...

Requiring ballots arrive by Election Day is unreasonable when the executive branch is handicapping the postal service for partisan reasons. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/04/2020-presidential-election-p...

The GOP actively sought, across the country, to handicap or prevent mail and absentee voting to suppress votes that typically fall to Democrats. The president tweeted about unproven voter fraud and to stop counting votes. If that isn’t attempts at brazen voter suppression, I don’t know what is. Democracy was stress tested, and it still worked.
There have been serious irregularities that suggest voter fraud in Democrat controlled precincts within swing states.

HN has a double standard. One from 2016 election night not flagged, and the other flagged. Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201 [flagged] Joe Biden is the president-elect of the U.S. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25015967

Requiring ballots to arrive by Election Day is the only reasonable thing to do. Otherwise you leave open the possibility of fraud as has been alleged in PA with multiple USPS workers coming forward and testifying that they witnessed backdating of mail in ballots. In Washington state where I used to live has had universal mail in ballots for many years and they had ballot drop boxes that were swept on election day. Th…
