Imagine a hypothetical swing state where 42% of the vote is cast by mail and there's an extreme partisan gap between VBM (80% Biden) and in-person (70% Trump). Here's what an 8% VBM rejection rate could do (graphic credit @alflinn): https://t.co/cQOh61LiZS https://t.co/0TUj7xy1Ni — PolitiTweet.org

Now a few caveats: 1) I don't think the VBM/E-Day partisan gap will be *quite* this wide, though #NY27 came close 2) In-person early vote will mute this effect in many states 3) Dems will inevitably sue to validate more VBMs But you can see how this starts becoming meaningful. — PolitiTweet.org
