unanimously ruled in October that state law makes it clear only that the ballot envelope requires the voter’s signature, but not a matching signature.Among the states that changed voting practices without legislative action this year is Texas, which extended early voting by six days due to the pandemic. ___THE LAWSUIT CLAIMS: Given Trump's lead in the four states “as of 3 a.m." the morning after the election, Biden's chances of winning all four was “less than one in a quadrillion.”THE FACTS: What sounds like a statistically significant figure isn't grounded in what experts before the election predicted: In-person votes counted more quickly would likely favor Trump and mail-in votes counted later would favor Biden.
