The Supreme Court handed a crushing blow to the radical left’s ballot-harvesting machine on Wednesday.
In a stunning 7-2 decision, the High Court ruled that Republican Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL) has the legal standing to challenge Illinois’s unconstitutional law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day.
This ruling reverses the Seventh Circuit and sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois’ late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits
This is the game-changer we have been waiting for.
For years, Democrats and their media allies have relied on “late-arriving ballots” to shift the results of elections days or even weeks after the polls close. We all remember what happened in 2020. We remember the “pauses” and the late-night spikes.
But now, the Supreme Court has finally opened the floodgates for Republicans to sue to stop it.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, made it clear: candidates have a “personal stake” in the rules governing their elections. This destroys the liberal argument that Republicans can’t sue unless they can prove a specific fraudulent ballot cost them the race.
Roberts wrote:
“He is a candidate for office. And a candidate has a personal stake in the rules that govern the counting of votes in his election.
An unlawful election rule can injure a candidate in several ways. It might cause him to lose the election. It might require him to expend additional resources.
Or it might decrease his vote share and damage his reputation. Respondents concede that each of these harms can be legally cognizable.
But they contend that Congressman Bost failed to adequately plead any such harm here. We need not resolve whether respondents are right, because winning, and doing so as inexpensively and decisively as possible, are not a candidate’s only interests in an election.
To start, candidates also have an interest in a fair process. Candidates are not common competitors in the economic marketplace. They seek to represent the people.”

"Naturally, the liberal justices were in a meltdown. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, likely terrified that the days of the “election month” rather than Election Day are numbered.
Ketanji Brown Jackson owes her position on the Supreme Court to election fraud. No wonder she’s so partial to it.
Sotomayor, the not-so-smart Latina, and Jackson, the not-smart-at-all justice who doesn’t know what a woman is.
Jackson owes her position to....being black and XX chromosomes.
“sends the case back to the lower court—where Illinois’ late-ballot scheme will now be evaluated on the merits”
I’m troubled about that. Why not just end it once and for all at SCOTUS instead of remanding to the lower court where more mischief awaits?
A little judge in a little state may overrule the US Supreme Court on this one.
So Illinois allows mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day. Wow.
Hey, Democrats. Why not just throw all restraint to the wind, and allow ballot-counting without any time restrictions?
Think of the hilarity that could ensue. You might be able to reverse the presidency of Eisenhower, for example. Be honest, Democrats. You never liked Ike anyway.
“14 days after Election Day.”
That’s plenty of time to fabricate democrat votes and “find” them in storage rooms or unmarked white delivery vans. I’m not sure how democrats win outside of their blue s holes.
That’s true. But Biden never would have been in a position to appoint her had the 2020 election theft not succeeded.
The Georgia fraud in Fulton County recently confirmed; but PA alone rendered the 2020 Selection fraudulent.
Go back and compare when Pennsylvania was called on Election Night 2016 v 2020 v 2024.Who forced PA to call on time in 2024? Gov. Shapiro, the runner-up in Karamela's Vice-Presidential sweepstakes. Karma's a fine bitch.

Amen.
This is no "stunning", "crushing", "game changer".
This is just a weak worthless judicial system spewing BS and failing to deal with the problem of chronic Rat election theft.
This is the ONLY thing that matters.
None of the other garbage that Trump and his cabinet are doing makes ANY difference unless we cure the country of chronic Rat election theft.
It’s almost like when the lights turned on everyone can see the rats and roaches chewing on our ballots...........
It’s time to get a couple of barn cats and call the exterminator...........................
Mail-in Ballots are greatly impacted by changes in the US Postal System as to when mail is dated, postmarked.
The solution is to allow mail in ballots for a very limited classes of voters and only for a period before election day.
Example: Voters away in the military can vote by mail...but only in a proscribed early period.
“That’s plenty of time to fabricate democrat votes and “find” them in storage rooms or unmarked white delivery vans. I’m not sure how democrats win outside of their blue s holes.”
Actually, with universal mail-in voting, it’s very easy...and legal (hopefully no more). EVERYONE registered gets ballots...so you go to those who haven’t voted in LaHood and have them vote. If you do want to break the law, then bribe them, or fill out the ballots for them.
bump to the top
From what I understand the entire standing doctrine was just made up by the courts to begin with.
