The expanded mail-in voting has also led to more ballots being rejected -- with signature problems a key factor.
In Wisconsin, nearly 2% of mailed-in ballots were rejected in the April primary, according to the Wisconsin Election Commission -- meaning one out of every 50 ballots was tossed.
The issue is more widespread in the Black and Hispanic communities. One University of Florida study found Black and Hispanic voters in the state were twice as likely to have their ballots rejected as White voters.
