If state law says ballots must be received by 8:00 pm on election day to count, then any judicial demand otherwise is illegitimate. If those ballots are counted, then the election loses whatever legitimacy it might have had. In that case, I expect this to get far uglier than even what the far left is threatening.
So it sounds as if the State Supreme Court failed to honor the law as it is written and the Federal Court told them they don’t have that power.
Here we have a discrepancy between the 8th Circuit’s order for Minnesota, versus what’s happening elsewhere like PA.
This normally would produce an automatic appeal to the Supreme Court to reconcile differences.
If that ruling applies to one state, wouldn’t it apply to all.?
Now how about Pennsylvania?
There is still the problem of the Minneapolis City Council kicking out all of the Republican election to do all the counting of absentee ballots behind closed doors.
After the Al Franken fiasco, where he won by just 312 votes, the MN legislature passed a law that requires that all absentee ballots must be counted by election judges selected from both major parties. Minneapolis is booting out the Republicans, and a leftist judge rubber stamped it ignoring the plain wording of the law.
Why can’t I get another week to vote in person?
Let’s have some of that in Michigan. Last I heard there is a 14-day extension for ballot and vote counting.
About time!
