Skepticism warranted...


Here's some data on absentee/mail-in ballots and rejection rates in 2018 vs. 2020:

Pennsylvania
2018 Elections: 196k votes by mail, 8,700 rejected, 4.4% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 2.7M votes by mail, 34,000 rejected, 1.3% rejection rate

Wisconsin
2018 Elections: 150,000 votes by mail, 2,500 rejected, 1.7% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 1.3M votes by mail, 3,000 rejected, 0.2% rejection rate

Georgia
2018 Elections: 243,000 votes by mail, 7,500 rejected, 3.1% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 1.3M votes by mail, 4,800 rejected, 0.4% rejection rate

Arizona
2018 Elections: 1.9M votes by mail, 8,600 rejected, 0.5% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 2.9M votes by mail, 7,700 rejected, 0.3% rejection rate

New Hampshire
2018 Elections: 45,000 votes by mail, 1,200 rejected, 2.7% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 256,000 votes by mail, 2,000 rejected, 0.8% rejection rate

North Carolina
2018 Elections: 96,000 votes by mail, 5,800 rejected, 6.1% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 982,000 votes by mail, 7,500 rejected, 0.8% rejection rate

Nevada
2018 Elections: 87,000 votes by mail, 1,800 rejected, 2.0% rejection rate
2020 Elections: 670,000 votes by mail, 5,600 rejected, 0.8% rejection rate

So, we are to believe that in a year with exponential increases in vote-by-mail -- many by first-time, inexperienced mail-in voters -- that rejection rates plummeted from the previous election when the logical prediction would have been that rejection rates should have increased.
