Also, they did something very sneaky that is probably going to be impossible to fight: they invalidated mail-in ballots by claiming that the signatures didn't match because young adults don't know how to sign their own names -- funny how it was always young people, the constituency most likely to vote against him -- and did not follow the legal procedures to warn those voters so that they could 'cure' the problem. It happened to a handful of people I personally know, including one of my daughters. I contacted officials after the requisite 2 business days to point out that they hadn't contacted her as legally required so how can she fix the problem? No answer.
Completely illegal and apparently happening all over. She didn't even know to check, which I'm sure is a common thing, so the deadline passes and oh well, your vote wasn't counted.
So if you were wondering how an election that supposedly had the largest number of voters ever somehow ended up with about 13 million fewer votes, this is probably part of the explanation.
Also, between the time they signed their voter registration card and the election, someone could have a stroke or hand/arm injury, or other medical condition that affects their motor skills, and they could be unable to sign their name in a way that matches the card.
And supposedly, all of these cases were in swing states. None in solid red or blue states.
Why has nobody considered making online ballots an option? How come Estonia is the only country that does it?
