Trump's order required ballots be received by Election Day, not just postmarked.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. Executive Order 14248 imposed a national deadline requiring all mail ballots to be received by Election Day, overriding state laws that allow ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if received within several days after. During the 2024 general election, Washington counted nearly 120,000 ballots received after Election Day but postmarked by it, while Oregon counted about 13,000 such ballots. Judge Chun ruled this requirement violated the Constitution because it concentrated election authority in the presidency rather than with Congress and the states.
