The Republican governor of Missouri signed a law in June allowing people receiving mail-only ballots to return them in person, as some voters prefer dropping off ballots instead of standing in line during COVID.

Now people who have thought since June that they could hand drop their votes are subject to the whims and inefficiencies of the US Postal Service.
