In light of anticipated mail delays, who is mostly responsible for ballots not received in time?

We knew about the Holiday delays from APO/FPO and planned accordingly. IMO the sense of urgency of the voter, or lack of should be a factor. Various states have established rules, but intentional delays notwithstanding, I see some personal responsibility.

exactly. if you waited until a couple of days before the election to mail in your ballot, that's 100% on you and if it's late it shouldn't count.

No fuss, no muss.

election day has for as long as I can remember been the first Tuesday in November. If you're voting by mail and your ballot is late, you have no one to blame but yourself. any ballots received after today should not count.

Very true LTC (Join to see) my wife mailed hers in 3 weeks ago, so it should be good to go sir.

The states have different requirements, and they depend on state legislation, but even when discounting covid, a reasonable person should realize their ballot should be returned ASAP.
