Daa, we know that now way rules are written but IMO that’s need changed.
I said was that needs chanced to eliminate the change of or illusion of cheating. Don’t say dates can’t be manufactured. IMO (and I can have opinion) the cut off date for mail in votes needs to well before Nov 2 or what ever that last day or voting is. So if person too lazy to mail in vote before the cutoff too bad IMO.

For early voting, all ballots should be received by the Board of Elections a week before Election Day and they should be counted before Election Day.

There are lots of reasons to wait until the last day. Here are a few:

1. Wanting the experience of casting your vote ON Election Day, which is your most important, most sacred right as an American citizen.
2. You're out of the area and can't get to your assigned polling area until Election Day.
3. You've been in the hospital and haven't been physically capable of voting until Election Day.
4. You forgot, until Election Day.
5. The polling area for EARLY voting, is not in the same place as Election Day voting, and you don't want to have to go to that early voting location.

I was tempted to wait til Election Day, because I could've driven my golf cart to the voting location. Instead, I drove my car to the early voting location, which you can't get to by golf cart.

As for the "chance of or illusion of cheating" - the loser can ALWAYS say "the ballots were tainted!" or "the machines were corrupted!" or "the vote-counters were corrupted!" or whatever other spin they want to put on it. As long as there are people capable of creating conspiracy theories to accuse someone of cheating, there will be conspiracy theories.

The trick is to trust the system and let Democracy do its job.
