TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Of the 2.5 million mail ballots already returned, 12,000 can’t be counted until signature problems are fixed. Three million mail ballots remain outstanding, and problems with mail ballots may well be the source of lawsuits challenging this year’s election results. Mail ballots could be the hanging chads of 2020, as 12,000 have already been flagged for problems. The difference between hanging chads and mail ballots is that with hanging chads, voters never really knew if their ballot was counted. So far this year, more than 5 million mail ballots have been requested compared to the 2.7 million cast in 2016.

By one count, more than 436,000 former felons in Florida - some who had already registered to vote under the constitutional measure known as Amendment 4 - will remain ineligible to vote because of the legislative intervention. DeSantis had asked the federal court to delay its hearing until the Florida Supreme Court could issue a legally non-binding advisory opinion, which was sought by DeSantis to possibly help the federal court navigate the case.
