But the notes also make it clear it's possible to have an automated postmark that is later than the acceptance date. The presence of a manual postmark on a day earlier than an automated one confirms this is just a formalization of existing procedure.

Here's notes from the 2016 election, and while the policy at this time was to ensure every mail got postmarked that day they still say that postmarks aren't guaranteed.

For example, Pennsylvania:
Return your completed ballot to the county election board. Absentee and Mail-in Ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on election day at your county election board. To ensure your ballot is received by the deadline, return the ballot as soon as possible.

Additional, reading through an NPR article, it seems like there's no operational change to how postmarks work.
I'm finding evidence that this has always been the guideline: postmarks have not been guaranteed same-day for a while and this rule just formalizes the reality of how it works.

As someone who does mail in voting for every election, I would never trust the system to deliver a letter fast enough that mailing it on Election Day.

By my searching, about 1/3rd of states consider late arrivals with postmarks to be valid and then even among those, some have very short windows after Election Day they are counted.
Of those, I don't see any that are swing states - might be wrong but did my best to cross-reference the list.

Reading through the notes here, it says you can still request a manual postmark if you need it by dropping off at a counter.
The explanations seem reasonable enough: the postmark is the date the mail was first processed is a much simpler operation.

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong with the powder but it just never worked consistently in the way the pods do.

I regret to inform that I also was a powdered detergent person but switched to using pods and haven't looked back despite the Technology Connections video. The Finish pods I buy are easy, relatively cheap (20¢/ea) and ** work consistently **.

Hmm, you're right - but on my Mac it definitely stopped at 10.15.7 so it can't be a coincidence that those two versions came out at the same time
