Trump: "According to eyewitness testimony, Postal Service workers in Wisconsin were also instructed to illegally backdate approximately 100,000 ballots. The margin of difference in Wisconsin was less than 20,000 votes. Each one of these things alone wins us the state."
Even if the claim that ballots were backdated on their postmarks were true, it would not impact how many votes either candidate received. The ballots needed to arrive by Nov. 3. If they arrived by that time, election workers took them and processed them. If they arrived the next day, however, they were late, period. There was no reason to even look at the postmarks. Election workers were going by the date they arrived, not the postmarks. Ethan Peace, who worked for a USPS subcontractor, made these charges of election fraud. He said one USPS worker said 100,000 ballots were missing and workers were out looking for them, and when Pease came back the next day, another USPS worker said they had been told to postdate the postmarks. One wonders how they would have known 100,000 ballots were missing. Had they already arrived, and been counted, only to disappear? And, once they were found, since by then they would be late, is that why they were going to be postdated? The story does have some holes in it,
