2. Tens of Thousands of Pennsylvania Ballots Returned Earlier Than Sent Date: Researcher - Epoch Times

Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out-an extraordinary speed, given U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivery times, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out. Another more than 23,000 have a return date earlier than the sent date. More than 9,000 have no sent date.

The analysis of the publicly available data was conducted by a data researcher who submitted it first to the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times.
