The President’s team has not made this argument yet. They have not plead it. But the Supreme handed this argument a 9-0 Decision.

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.

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)

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!

This should also effect all Federal down ballot elections.

Nonsense - that case was about Louisiana holding elections BEFORE election Day.

Regarding Foster v. Love, how come Florida vote wasn’t thrown out in Bush versus Gore race?
