Trump said in his speech tonight, “We kneel only to Almighty God.”

Foster v Love, 522 U.S. 67, 71-72 is a 9-0 decision back in 1997 by the U.S. Supreme Court. They agreed to take up the issue of federal statutes vs state’s regarding election for federal offices and state election dates. The case that started it: MURPHY J. FOSTER, Jr., GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA, et al., PETITIONERS v. G. SCOTT LOVE, PAUL S. BERGERON, KATHLEEN B. BALHOFF, and BENNIE BAKER-BOURGEOIS.
It’s rare SCOTUS has a 9-0 decision and this one surprised me considering the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg was on the bench back then. You can read the transcript of the oral arguments in Foster v Love here.
Quoting Ginsberg: “It is an election, and it seems to me, being an election it conflicts with the Federal single Election Day.” It’s unfortunate this was not the key argument in Trump’s lawsuits although several of us tried to get him this information.
Constitutional attorney, Ren Jander’s November 18, 2020 piece, Elections Undecided by Midnight are Void & Preempted by Federal Law – Foster v Love (1997; 9-0 Decision) is a thorough examination of that case and federal statutes. Jander wrote, “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. This is certainly prohibited, and this is why the late election results are void.”
After a comprehensive analysis of the Constitution, federal and state statutes, Jander further writes: “Consider all of the above in light of the results of the 2020 presidential elections; in Pennsylvania today, two weeks after Election Day, 8000 votes suddenly appeared, and the initial count is still not complete; Arizona has tens of thousands of ballots left to count in the initial canvass; Georgia discovered over 2600 missing votes yesterday, and the entire State is conducting a recount; Wisconsin just announced the details and costs of a forthcoming recount; Michigan is buried in litigation supported by many sworn affidavits alleging irregularities. None of these states consummated their elections on November 3rd. The elections have failed, as a matter of law. The results should be voided. “Reading Foster v. Love, together with the 9th Circuit’s analysis in Voting Integrity Project v. Keisling, we know that consummating an election before federal Election Day is prohibited, and that early voting is not prohibited, as long as the election is finally consummated on Election Day. If that be the case, then statutory construction makes it obvious that elections consummated after Election Day are preempted by the federal Election Day statutes.
“Any other construction would render the statutes inoperable. If “the election” – which is defined in Foster v. Love – as the combined acts of voters and officials – begins before Election --------------------------------------------------- https://www.leagle.com/decision/1997589522us671584 Justice Souter delivered the opinion of the Court.* "Under 2 U. S. C. §§ 1 and 7, the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in an even-numbered year "is established" as the date for federal congressional elections. Louisiana's "open primary" statute provides an opportunity to fill the offices of United States Senator and Representative during the previous month, without any action to be taken on [522 U.S. 69] federal election day. The issue before us is whether such an ostensible election runs afoul of the federal statute. We hold that it does."
Probably because they need an unquestioning audience of Ds while they attempt their internet manipulation; Or, to try and draw Republican poll watchers and lawyers off on a wild goose chase to a place where they would not need to cheat and they can say: "See! we told you there was no vote fraud!"
Does this man look worried?
I would have liked to see this celestial spectacle but the Moon will be low, probably too low here to get a good view so I’ll get some good sleep instead.

I’m just the tiniest bit done with judges and lawyers quibbling over the meaning of my vote.
If it doesn’t count on Election Day EXACTLY the way I cast it.....well, let’s just say I will not be pleased.
...not pleased at all.
Melian. Thanks.
those dirty rats!

> Town of Clinton, Massachusetts;
This is an odd choice. Clinton is very familiar, many friends from there, much time spent there. It’s a fairly small former industrial town. Not many blacks, mostly white with a growing Latino population.
