The Supreme Court has just ruled in favor of state election law that allows ballots to be received after election day, so long as they are postmarked by election day.
The questions was about whether federal election law preempted state election law on this matter.
Here’s more from Amy Howe at SCOTUSblog:
The court holds that federal election-day statutes do NOT preempt a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by, and received within, five days of Election day.
Justice Barrett writes that the “election-day statutes do not set a deadline for ballot receipt, so they do not prevent Mississippi from counting ballots postmarked after election day yet received afterward.”
Alito dissents, joined by Thomas and Gorsuch and in part by Kavanaugh.
Alito says that today’s decision “creates a serious risk of further undermining public confidence in our elections and our system of self-government.”
This truly sucks and will just allow more fraud in places like California.

Well that's the last nail in the coffin that will hold the remains of the republic. With that decision, election fraud will continue until the socialists get the result they want. The only way to preserve any semblance of an honest government will be for a state to secede over an obviously fraudulent election result. And that didn't work too well lat time states decided they wanted out. Yessir! We are headed to a shooting war with the socialists in future Amerika...
ReplyDeleteAnd that war is looming larger and larger every day. And they keep trying to push it faster and faster.
Deletethat sucks, good to see your site back
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andrew.
DeleteWorrying about this ruling, is like worrying about the bar on the Titanic running out of ice as the ship sinks. In the scheme of our problems, it is a grain of sand on the beach.
ReplyDeleteBut it's pure ignorance to pretend it didn't happen or that it doesn't matter.
DeleteThe time for making good commies is near. Dammit!
