| Amid historic absentee voting, rejected mail-in ballots could have 'significant effect' on outcome |
| 2020-10-19 |
| [JustTheNews] Up to 3% of first-time mail-in voters see their ballots rejected, potentially upending projected vote totals.

Americans are voting by mail in record numbers in 2020, driven largely by months of public health warnings that due to COVID-19, Americans should avoid large gatherings, particularly indoor events, and should avoid touching commonly used surfaces or objects, inescapable realities of in-person polling locations. |
