States can NOT count, and announce the results of, ballots PAST "election day" as set forth by the Congress.
If that were permissible, then a state could continue counting ballots received a month or more after "election day." It would completely destroy our election process.
It's a slam dunk.
If the defendant states can NOT completely remove the votes counted AFTER "election day" and ONLY report votes tallied as of 11:59 on "election day," then their election results violate federal law & the LOVE 9 - 0 decision.
To be clear, 11:59 PM (or 23:59).
Does etcm’s post #31 change anything?
Does the Foster vs Love decision have any bearing on ballots trucked in at 0-dark-hundred, and related shenanigans?
