Me either. But my memory is that the only "time" on the postmark is date. So if the rule is postmarked by 8pm on election day, the only way to know it was postmarked prior to 8pm on election day is to only take those that were postmarked on the date prior. Trump will love that one. ;-)
REALLY though, if the law is that it is to be received by election day, then being postmarked a day prior would be a reasonable expectation. If you're mailing same day, there's no way it's getting there on time. NONE. Even without USPS slowdowns.
