This year’s presidential election is mirroring 2020’s historic contest, but election officials in important states are trying to ensure the way ballots are handled in November is clearer this time around. Former President Donald Trump has spent the last 3 1/2 years insisting President Joe Biden’s victory over him was illegitimate. Almost all of the former president’s and his allies’ complaints revolve around the flurry of voting changes that were made to accommodate voter safety during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This week, the Washington Examiner is taking a step back from the horse race between Biden and Trump to catalog the rule changes that kicked up so much electoral dust in 2020.
