is not specified in the Constitution. I'm sure that the first dozen or so of them were printed up way in advance, since they had to be delivered to far flung locations by sailboat or by horse and wagon.

It did seem odd to me that there was a June deadline for printing them, since we have all kinds of ways of transmitting information to local printers at the last minute.

And it doesn't specify when the results are counted.

He could probably mail them on December 28th, 2020 and still be within requirements of the constitution.
