E fit change how our ballots go dey counted o, especially for states wey dey like to count ballots wey reach after Election Day, but must carry postmark wey enter that day.

For states like California, Nevada, and others, if your ballot no carry postmark from di day you drop am, e fit end up for trash bin. Dis na wah!
