My explanation why late ballots aren't late [View all]

Okay here in PA, I'm in line to vote but the line to get into my polling place is 2 miles long. At 8 pm a poll worker comes out, acknowledges that I'm the last in line ; I will get to vote.

I finally get into the polling place at half past midnight, my vote will be recorded and counted, even though my vote is received by the county on the 4th. The day after election day.

Therefore those people who mailed their votes & they were postmarked on the 3rd, should be treated like me. They showed up to vote by the 3rd , their vote was received by the county and because of the long line, the county didn't get it exactly on the 3rd.

Does this make sense?
