In Pennsylvania, for example, the deadline to request an absentee ballot is one week before election day, and Michigan allows requests up until four days before. But in order for it to be counted in either state, under current laws, the ballot must be back in the mail and returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day. One week for two deliveries is not enough time, Marshall explained. He said it could realistically take more than a week for a piece of mail to be sent to the voter and then “returned by mail in time to be counted.”
Understood, key phrase for me in the article.

In fact, there's seven states that allow you to request it on Monday for Tuesday's election,” she continued. “And that's just not practical. Just because you can wait until a deadline, doesn't mean you should.”
That's just plain asking for trouble. Bad (state) legislation.
