Setting the stage for a major ruling on election law, the Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide whether federal law requires ballots to be not only cast by voters but also received by election officials by Election Day. As part of the list of orders from the justices’ private conference on Friday, the court took up Watson v. Republican National Committee, a challenge by the Republican National Committee and others to a Mississippi law (as well as similar laws in 30 other states and the District of Columbia) that allow mail-in ballots to be counted as long as they are received within five business days after Election Day.
The dispute began in 2024, when the RNC – along with the Mississippi Republican Party and two individuals – went to federal court to challenge the Mississippi law. Their case was later joined with a similar case brought by the Libertarian Party of Mississippi.
A federal judge in Gulfport, Mississippi, upheld the law, rejecting the challengers’ contention that it conflicted with federal law. Senior U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola explained that, according to Supreme Court precedent, “Congress set a national election day to avoid the ‘evils’ of burdening citizens with multiple election days and of risking undue influence upon voters in one state from the announced tallies in states voting earlier.

Cremation would address the space issue rather well.
100% agree
States run by democrats have been cheating in many different ways and getting away with it for at least as long as I’ve been voting. But don’t let any Republican states try it, there would be hell to pay.
There has been hardly anything ever done about the cheating, rampant voter fraud and ballot miscounting shenanigans. So it only gets worse and worse. If we had honest elections there would be far less democrats in house and Senate seats. Trump should set up a task force to expose the election fixing that’s been going on right under everyone’s noses. It’s one of the best things he could do for America’s future.
That is the best solution, but as you know, that will never happen.

Yes, I agree. Maybe work with Catherine Engelbrecht and “True The Vote”
