Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wait, how would the post office be able to back-date them? Isn't the date written by the voter, and the post handled largely digitally? As in, there'd be no way in hell for the claim to ever be true unless there is additional manual dating that the post office does specifically for mail in ballots? Even then, any automatic scanning is going to log something I'm sure at least for internal auditing purposes backdating wouldn't match...
... Why is it news they admitted to lying about an obvious farce!?
Is this a situation where we're confused because the face who always lies created a paradox by admitting to it?
So here's what was going on... Pennsylvania passed a law requiring that mail in ballots have a hand-written date on the envelope in order to be valid.
This is completely pointless, because a) you could write any date you wanted on an envelope, and b) the date that MATTERS is the postmark value.
If a ballot is recieved in time, it doesn't matter what the hand-written date says or doesn't say.

Post office employee knew that and was like "yeah, post date it, it doesn't matter."
Someone overheard that and though he was talking about post dating ballots that had arrived too late to be counted.
That wasn't TRUE, but then Project Veritas doesn't operate based on what's true. :)
