Yes they can, and they do. Voter eligibility, how votes are cast, etc. is entirely decided by the states. Federal laws on voting simply set parameters within which states must work (things like prohibiting literacy tests, racial tests, etc.).
That also will be reviewed by the courts. PA allowed votes to come in days after the election so I am sure that will be challenged.gam197:

There is nothing novel about that. Many, perhaps even most, states allow mail in votes to be postmarked by election day. NC, for example, allows them to be postmarked by election day as long as they arrive by November 12. FL allows overseas and military ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by election day.
They may be able too, I mean I am not a lawyer but where Pennsylvania may run into trouble is that this may not be statewide. It might have only happened in certain counties, meaning it was not equally distributed per the law.
OK here is your whole post…gam197:
I specifically addressed your claim here:
and asked why it would make a difference if they were in school or not, but I guess you can’t really explain your rational behind the statement.
I specifically asked about the rationale of classes being online affecting youth vote and you couldn’t explain it, but then you brought up Georgia here
and explained why I think that it is reasonable that Georgia would have 1 million new voters and you can’t respond to that post so you go to 50 million new voters.
Simply put, you cannot explain the rationale behind your statements or dispute my rationale.
You have been on this thread very little and I have posted your whole post so I will again address this issue of college students. If you think it is college kids because they had easy access to their ballots that made the difference, I tend not to believe that but have not seen any figures on thatgam197:
They are quite motivated and, because they are remote, many are still at home, so it was easier to vote (no requesting an absentee ballot).
Actually, most people are buying it. It is a select few that aren’t buying it with false claims of fraud. For me, it makes sense. Georgia is competitive with 2 Senate races. That will get more people to the polls.
You have stated that.gam197:
No, I do think it is a lot more likely that more college kids voted.
There have always been governors, senator, representatives on the ballot each election cycle so why all of sudden a million new voters.gam197:
These races are normally not competitive, but now that they are, I think that drives more Georgians to vote.
What do you mean they are not competitive, they are competitive, You have Republicans running against Democrats or there would not be Republican Gov. Charlie Baker. Having senators on the ballot is not going to bring out 1 million new voters in Georgia who have not chosen to vote before.gam197:
Because most Massachusetts statewide offices are not competitive.
Few will agree with me, but I’m a big fan of everyone’s vote counting equally. If you live in a smaller state, your vote for president has more significance than if you live in a big state.
Military vote in nothing new and there have been no changes. What is of concern in mail-in ballots and are they legal voters or not. We have no indication of who signed all these new voter ballots.
I’d be okay with a popular vote system.
Does anyone think the post office or UPS is capable of checking signatures to see who gets the mail. Millions upon millions of ballots went out everywhere and there was no accountability and that is why we are we are today.
That’s only one opinion.
So, the ballot is mailed to an address.
That mean nothing. A witness can tell anyone anything, it is not a valid form of identification.
That is exactly what he is claiming from my own reading
That is a bold claim.
