“When the federal statutes speak of ‘the election’… they plainly refer to the combined actions of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder… By establishing a particular day as ‘the day’ on which these actions must take place, the statutes simply regulate the time of the election, a matter on which the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the final say.” Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67, 71-72 (1997).
*THE DAY* – THIS IS VITAL
The voters vote. The officials count. These combined actions form “the election,” and the election must be decided on *the day*. States that failed to make a final selection of officeholder by midnight after Election Day have violated the statute, subjecting the nation at large to the very evils Congressionally mandated deadlines were drafted to prevent.
Federal Election Day statutes were designed to curtail fraud, and to infuse a prima facie sense of integrity in our electoral process. But these States – in failing to obey Congressional deadlines – have flagrantly attempted to preempt federal law.

California is probably still counting. It makes you wonder why FL and OH, to name a couple, can count their votes on election day and other states take a week or more.

Great find. Here’s another item on this:
It’s unfortunate that this is posted under “Bloggers” where many FReepers won’t see it. MORE NEED TO SEE THIS!
9-0 is a most severe ruling
One cant argue it doesnt apply or its a weak ruling
Plus its very recent as well, very recent, legally speaking
A couple justices on the court who were part of this 9-0 ruling are still there
So the out of context argument wont fly
That’s why the Texas case had to get in today. Part of that suit is about the deadlines. The timing was last-second, seemingly on purpose. (Were the earlier cases weak on purpose as well?)

The virus will be the excuse used. Trump was way ahead at midnight. So it won’t happen. Would be great. And if you remember Trump even said that. You always knew the results in election night.
But...
The remedy is for the state Legislature to apply.
If counting went past midnight of election day, they won’t throw out those votes.
And no court will, or can, make them do so.
This ruling doesn’t require that.
so, still, it has to be proven to have been a corrupt election before state legislative or congressional members will step in.
The Foster vs Love is reference in the suit filed on
Docketed: October 26, 2020
Docket No. 20-542
Title: Republican Party of Pennsylvania, Petitioner
v.
Kathy Boockvar, Secretary of Pennsylvania, et al.
Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67 (1997)....................................................26

I don’t see in the Pa. suit referencing Foster vs Love that argues the same reasoning/conclusion below... pursuant to the majority opinion of the case:
Elections Undecided by Midnight are Void & Preempted by Federal Law– Foster v Love (1997; 9-0 Decision)
All that cheating takes time.
All that cheating takes time.
Seems to me someone with relationships with Trump’s legal team needs to get this to them ASAP.
If true, looks like Trump’s last minute Check Mate to kill the fraud.
No way! An election might take 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months to get right! It’s not fair to stop us from cheating!
The US Constitution makes no exceptional provisions for health emergencies when it comes to elections. If you want exceptions, pass an Amendment.
Trump was way ahead at midnight. So it won’t happen.
You're wrong. Trump is still way ahead with legally cast votes.
He has won and will be inaugurated.
To say otherwise means you have bought the lie.
FReegards!
Making the votes to back up the virtual votes takes time
“Seems to me someone with relationships with Trump’s legal team needs to get this to them ASAP.”
You canreference this. Page 26.
Love the post. And your right but what are they going to rule. Whatever the total was at midnight is the final count. Or throw those states electoral votes out. When they stopped at 2am they should have been done. Everything after that was mail ins.
Wow. Are we fools?
So much flying around.....what to believe?
Thank you.
This should also effect all Federal down ballot elections.
