SEPTEMBER 18, 2020: Laws in 33 states prevent state officials from counting absentee or mail-in ballots prior to Election Day ([link removed]) .[1] ([link removed]) This includes Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and other states thought to be swing states in Election 2020.[2] ([link removed])

Eight states have laws explicitly allowing the counting of absentee and mail-in ballots before Election Day arrives—Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Vermont.[1] ([link removed])

Nine other states leave it to the discretion of officials—Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Utah.[1] ([link removed])

This could have a significant impact on the reporting of election results in November and on public perceptions of the results. Polling shows that President Trump ([link removed]) has a solid lead among voters who plan to cast their ballot in person. However, former Vice President Joe Biden ([link removed]) has an even larger lead among those who plan to vote by mail.[3] ([link removed])
