this level of "mistakes" in the in-mail voting process points out areas where *design* changes can improve success rates. it's not just voter education (and yes, we should do that).
Louisville released its numbers of ballot rejections, which totaled just over 4% of returned ballots. Here were the reasons for rejection. Almost half were because of a missing signature. We need to do a MUCH better job of voter education for November.pic.twitter.com/OQ3XP92l6Z

Hey, we tried. Yer buddy
@KYSecState didn't care about education tho. We also sent the ballot to@civicdesign, who seemed appalled at the poor design. The International Ballot only takes ONE signature. Let's just use that, eh?https://twitter.com/PierceWhites/status/1274085235702054914?s=19 …

"Inner envelope glued to outer envelope" seems like a ridiculous reason to reject the ballot.
-
Also, rejected a ballot because of a "clerical error" (which is just another way of saying election official/poll worker mistake) is super not cool.

Almost 1200 late ballots is also noteworthy - that's another topic for outreach in November.

And I wonder what the numbers would have been if the receipt date were Friday instead of Saturday.

Seems that no notice and and opportunity to cure violates procedural due process.

See Raetzel v. Parks, 762 F. Supp. 1354, 1358 (D. Ariz. 1990). Albeit a district court opinion, but holds that AZ process of no post-deprivation notice that an absentee ballot has been disallowed and no opportunity to cure is unconstitutional.
