The decisive voices

The number given by “WSJ” does not mean that so many cards are currently in arrears at the post office. “Some voters who have asked for ballot papers in their mailboxes may vote in person at the premises or not vote at all. In some states, such as Colorado, electoral kits are mailed to everyone eligible to vote … In many states, including Florida and Arizona, cards can be thrown into special boxes that do not belong to the post office “- explained the daily.

The newspaper, however, expressed concerns about the election chaos in the first week of November. In some states, early voting cards may prove decisive. WSJ speculates that this could be the case in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Florida. These are states where President Donald Trump slightly won in 2016.

In Michigan, where Trump won with a lead of just over 10,000 in 2016. votes. Until Thursday, over 700,000 were not returned. packages. According to the American newspaper, it now takes an average of more than six days to ship by post in this state. “This raises the question of how many of these cards may arrive too late and then not be counted. The deadline for counting votes in Michigan is election day,” the daily wrote.

A similar problem exists in Arizona, where Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton four years ago by less than 100,000. votes. This year, in Arizona, over 1.2 million packages had not been returned to the commission by Thursday. This is the state with the slowest operating postal service in the US, on average it takes over a week to deliver a parcel.
