Secretary Al Schmidt gives election update

Published | Video Starts at 01:33

Here are the leading reasons mail ballots have been rejected. The ballot was received after the deadline of 08:00 p.m. on election day. County boards of elections must receive mail ballots by [08:00 p.m. on election day] in order to count them. A postmark is not sufficient. The voter submitted a so called naked ballot, which means it was not sealed in the inner privacy envelope and then enclosed in the outer return envelope. (01:33–01:40)

CLAIM

Asserts the deadline for mail ballots to be counted is 8:00 p.m. on election day.
