Wondered about this so did a quick search. This is a list of the rules for every state on the deadline for counting the ballots. Postmark date vs arrival date. The list shows the overwhelming majority of states require the ballot to arrive by election day. If Trump's new Postmaster General can delay the mail by a few days that could swing the results. His new tool is already slowing down the mail in many locations.
The last Democratic primary broke records for vote by mail. Also everyone knows Democrats take COVID seriously vs Republicans so for safety Dems more likely to vote by mail, where Trump is urging his people to vote in person.
