Well if they opened the envelopes, they are in violation, it appears to me from your quote of the law. And the GOP claim is they did. I'll be curious to see where this one goes. Thank you for looking that up.
Deal reached after GOP claims absentee ballots were handled improperly in Broward
[Edit for brevity. --DJW001]
“The canvassing board has never opened the ballots,” Snipes said. “We have procedures we follow that are approved in our security manual sent to state. We don’t feel like we are doing anything illegal — this is the process we have always used.”
Still, within hours of receiving Ingoglia’s letter, a judge on Broward’s canvassing board had offered a two-step compromise that seemed to pacify Republicans.
▪ Starting Thursday morning, board member Judge John D. Fry said he will be at the supervisor’s office in person daily to oversee canvassing of mail-in ballots.
▪ Fry said he told representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties that they will also be allowed to have a representative on-hand at at all times as ballots are canvassed.

Sometime you dont have to say but a few words to speak volumes.
But in four separate visits to the elections headquarters in Lauderhill, Shestokas said he never saw the canvassing board convene or supervise the opening of ballots, even though a public notice published by the elections office suggests the board is meeting daily.
He also says he was only allowed to observe ballot counting from 9 a..m. to 9:30 a.m.
In a secure room inside the elections office, Shestokas said he watched how elections department staff sorted ballot envelopes, examined signatures and opened ballots. On one occasion, he said, another person was also observing: a witness sent by the county government.
In addition to questioning why the full canvassing board wasn’t present, Shestokas said he wondered why members of the public couldn’t view mail ballots before they were accepted and opened. Florida law allows the public to challenge ballots they consider invalid.
“Essentially, they’re opening the ballots in secret,” said Shestokas, who said he passed along his observations to the RNLA without contacting the party or any campaign.

This sounds more like "voter intimidation" than voter fraud!

If the United States is a 1st rate country. The illegally opened ballots should be signed by the voter to make sure they haven't been tampered with.

Fat chance - the DOJ will be monitoring polls in 28 states. The DOJ
Totally in the tank for the Democrats.
500 DOJ staff will effectively form a vote rigging army under the guise of protecting the polls.

The DOJ is in the tank for the Democrats? Is that why they t they were reopening the email investigation one week before the election, giving Trump the only spurt of support in his campaign?
