Any valid ballot is counted. However, since states get to run elections, what constitutes “valid” varies from state to state. Data suggests the ballots of young people or people with disabilities are the most likely to get tossed because they weren’t submitted properly (missing a signature or not postmarked for the right day)
Either way, moving to a mail in system will require states to establish safeguards to ensure voters are disenfranchised
