Court rules ballots that arrive late shouldn't be counted despite postmarks

9. Voting isn't the same as filing a tax return.

IRS agents can take their time. Counting votes needs to be completed promptly. If the voter wants their ballot included with the results it's on them to get it to the election office on time. If you use the mail, you take a risk, especially since we all know about issues with the USPS. Colorado has a gold standard electoral process & they still require all ballots be at an election office or voting site by 7 PM on Election Day. Postmarks don't count.

IMO, it's not unreasonable to ask voters to take some responsibility for getting their vote counted, like keeping their registration current. In 2004, we had people come in to vote who hadn't voted in years & were surprised they weren't in the poll book. There's a reason why VP Harris says plan how you're going to vote.
