As I understand it, SCOTUS in Bush v Gore basically said that if you change the rules in midstream for one candidate you have to do it for them all. So if you hand-count the ballots you have to hand-count them all.
I may be wrong, but I think they ruled you couldn't change the rules after the election.
But the current Court ruled 9-0, that using someone else's SSSN# was not identity theft. Who knows what other goodies they have planned for us.
