"With the coronavirus creating a surge in mail-in balloting and postal delays reported across the country, the number of rejected ballots in November is projected to be significantly higher than previous elections.
If ballots are rejected at the same rate as during this year’s primaries, up to three times as many voters in November could be disenfranchised in key battleground states when compared to the last presidential election, according to an Associated Press analysis of rejected ballots. It could be even more pronounced in some urban areas where Democratic votes are concentrated and ballot rejection rates trended higher during this year’s primaries."

And the inevitable post-election argumens over absentee ballots being rejected are already being made IN SEPTEMBER:
"New, young, Black and Hispanic voters — who tend to favor Democratic candidates — are disproportionately affected, according to research by University of Florida political scientist Daniel Smith. All have had absentee ballots rejected at higher rates than white and more experienced mail-in voters."
The word "shitstorm" comes to poor old DonDiego's mind:
shitstorm: A huge **********of epic proportions of some sort or another and its ensuing calamity. As in, the person or normal situation you were supposed to be a part of is now so totally screwed up as to turn the entire scenario into a farce.

Poor old DonDiego cautions the interested reader, if any, that one should not expect a definitive tabulation, . . . or even a decent projection, . . . of the Presidential Election results the day after the election, . . . or, . . . maybe, . . . even the week after. Poor old DonDiego wouldn't be surprised if some voters expressed their disaffection with the delay violently, . . . even as soon as the day after the election and possibly for some time thereafter.
