In Oct 2020, SCOTUS Made This Ruling On Wisconsin Absentee Ballots

The process is often done by mail.

Example: Military absentee ballots.

I hold out hope that the SC will hold that election fraud is unconstitutional and laws and procedures that facilitate it are, also. The constitution guarantees to each state a republican form of government not a banana republic.

That is an incorrect statement.

The standing “problem” will only be a problem for Justice Roberts and those other three.

Standing is one of the obvious ways timorous justices can exit through the back door to avoid exposing the court to the kind of political and constitutional retribution already promised by the left.

I don't think it will take much to convince one of the remaining justices to take that door in the misguided hope that by sidestepping their duty to the Constitution at this time of national crisis they are saving the court.

There are five justices on the Supreme Court who must make the profoundest and most moral decision of their lives. If they behave as judges we may keep a constitutional republic. If they dance out the door they will have forfeited more than their reputations writ in the history books, they will have to conduct a very serious litigation with the ultimate judge.

>> That is an incorrect statement.

I can't speak for other states. But in New Jersey, this past election, my statement was/is 100% correct -- absentee and mail-in ballots are two completely different animals.

President Trump has intervened(joined the case). He does not have standing?

[jpp113]

I know that PA does not distinguish between the two kinds of ballots - there is an absentee ballot law (the usual - must be applied for, there must be an excuse, yada yada) but no law regarding procedure for unsolicited mail-in ballots. The definition provided for absentee ballots says that any vote not done in person is an absentee ballot. Therefore the absentee ballot law applies to the unsolicited mail in ballots. And that law says they must be received (for counting) BEFORE the close of polls on election day. Either intention or incompetence has led to the impossibility to tell when any particular mail in ballot was received for counting. Envelopes, which are supposed to stamped with that information were destroyed when the ballot was put through the machine. Thus, there is no easy way to unravel the mess.

Envelopes, ... were destroyed when the ballot was put through the machine.

Thereby violating the Federal law that all election materials received are to be retained for 22 months. So they will be 'provided' the day before the Electoral College is supposed to vote.

[nathanbedford]

They danced out the door on the issue of standing as I had feared.
