You're right he should do nothing. That way when Republicans lose they can cry about how it's all fraud because there was no security and antifa was stuffing ballot boxes full of mules or some such.

He should obey the court order regarding mail in ballots! Start there and prove that he's a person of integrity which would be a change for him.

The "court order" I think you're referring to undid the Third Circuit's ruling that said to count mail-in ballots that were only lacking a handwritten date. The U.S. Supreme Court didn't say the Third Circuit was wrong, but that the appeal had been moot because the candidate challenging the practice had conceded their election and had nothing left to be fighting for. So the federal appeals court ruling that said those ballots should count was tossed out on a technicality, returning things to the status that had existed beforehand (which is to say, people were disagreeing over whether missing dates were reason to throw out ballots).
But there had been another state court ruling that independently said to count undated ballots, so state elections officials said to keep following that order until told otherwise -- which the state Supreme Court is considering now.

From the very Law360 article you’re citing:
> Ari Savitzky of the American Civil Liberties Union, who represents Lehigh County voters, told Law360 that the high court's vacating of the Third Circuit's ruling was done on "purely procedural grounds."
"As for November, it remains clear that, under state law and federal law, timely mail ballots where a voter merely forgets to handwrite an inconsequential date on the outer envelope must be counted," Savitzky said in an email. "Nothing about today's procedural decision changes that."
The RNC has since asked the state Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue, since the US Supreme Court and the lower state court rulings still left room for doubt in their minds.
The US Supreme Court ruling was not as cut-and-dry as some partisan sources are making it out to be, and the state believes it has its orders from the lower court.

So, honest question.
What's the concern with an undated ballot when the date fun the USPS is gonna be more accurate anyways?
I would think that would be more secure than any hand when date given the number of times landlords tried screwing me with fake dates

If there was not proof of significant ballot harvesting over the past several years, there would be no concern.

So the concern is dropped off ballots then. I understand.
I disagree that it is a concern or that there is a significant amount of voter fraud that occurs that way, or that having a hand written date would be any sort of barrier to that, but I understand.
Thank you for your response.

Use your brain man. You are literally letting Epoch Times drip feed conspiracies straight into your head. That publication is literally an extension of right wing Chinese extremism.
