It is unacceptable to be having this discussion after voting has already begun. Every American has the right to have their vote heard and counted. People are already using drop boxes to submit ballots, which require no postmark. Will those no longer count, after citizens have already been encouraged to use them? It is additionally unthinkable to discount the vote of an American that may be held up by the USPS, through no fault of that citizen. This seems like just another way to suppress the vote.
