votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be
compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting
booth, statistics show. Election officials reject almost 2 percent of
ballots cast by mail, double the rate for in-person voting.
“The more people you force to vote by mail,” Mr. Sancho said, “the more
invalid ballots you will generate.”

affect outcomes. If the contests are close enough to be within what election
lawyers call the margin of litigation, the grounds on which they will be
fought will not be hanging chads but ballots cast away from the voting booth |
