It’s doubtful that would have made much difference. If the tellers have to wait a week for postal ballots to come in, there will come a point where they’re just sitting around waiting to see what’s in the morning mail. The legislation allows for ballots to come in a week after polling day because it can take that long for postmarked mail to get to its destination. That’s a weakness in the processes of the USPS, and acknowledging that, plus the surge in demand, the service asked for more federal funds to help it cope. Trump took some obvious satisfaction in turning them down.
