I stand by the substance of what I said. It is too late for millions of people to mail their ballots and have them counted. There's been plenty of news articles this past week, in various states, announcing that it is now too late to mail in your ballot.

At the very least, I think that the article should have pointed out that it's now too late for many people to mail in their ballot and have them counted.
