Im sorry, but you have no constitutional right to vote by mail. You have no constitutional right to vote six days after an election is over. Nor do you have any right to censor information related to an election. Not even during a pandemic.
This week, the US Supreme Court ruled that a lower federal court couldnt overwrite Wisconsins election laws and force the state to accept ballots without any postmark deadline nearly a week after the election. Likewise, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Gov. Tony Evers didnt have the authority to arbitrarily suspend in-person voting.
If these dictates had been allowed to stand, they would have created destructive precedents, taking elections out of the hands of local legislatures. If we discard legal norms every time theres a crisis, we no longer have a nation of laws.
The usual suspects, of course, lamented the alleged anti-democratic animus of Chief Justice John Roberts high court. Liberal pundits, apparently unable to differentiate between partisan policy preferences and the rule of law, launched into their customary hysterics, denouncing the Supreme Court for disenfranchising minorities and putting peoples lives at risk.
But the court doesnt exist to fix your local governments incompetence or make life safer. It exists to uphold the Constitution.
None of this is to say that the situation in Wisconsin is fair to voters, who had to risk standing in lines during a dangerous pandemic. Many states have contingencies in place for emergencies. Wisconsin while it had plenty of time to pass new guidelines does not. Thats a Wisconsin problem, not a Supreme Court problem, not a democracy problem and definitely not a federal problem.

Swine flu has killed up to 17,000 in U.S.: report
HEALTH NEWS FEBRUARY 12, 2010 / 11:18 AM / 10 YEARS AGO
H1N1 swine flu has killed as many as 17,000 Americans, including 1,800 children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday...
ACCURATE ESTIMATES
The CDC and the World Health Organization stopped trying to count all the actual cases months ago, once it became clear that H1N1 was a pandemic that would infect millions...
Trying is one thing. This is only further proof which is justifying the things that are going to be done in the next few months.
Whatever the situation is, it seems to me that it affects everyone equally — young, old, black, white, urban, rural.
You go to your designated polling station, if you can, or you stay home. The election results determine the winner.
No one is being disenfranchised. No party is being disfavored. We’re all in the same boat.
There is nothing broken here. So don’t fix it.
Yeah, once they left these life-threatening voting lines they went to stand in the safe lines at Costco, WalMart, and the local grocery store.
Sheesh.
I know it was sarcastic, but we all need to quit saying “I’m sorry” to them. Not even in sarcastic jest.
Give it a few weeks, won’t be long before libtard progressives start claiming that voting by mail is a human right, just saying.
The reason voters had to stand in long lines was intentional, Milwaukee for example normally has 180 polling locations...On Tuesday they had FIVE...It was NOT the Republican’s fault.
“You go to your designated polling station, if you can, or you stay home. The election results determine the winner.”
Agreed.
Eezy peezy. Everyone treated the same.
I like your thinking, my friend!
Divide the U.S. deaths by the population of the U.S. and look how small the number is. And they have shut down the economy and and are pushing totalitarianism by the day. Come on people. Only fear the Lord. It’s the beginning of wisdom. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.
Here is the best way to cut these Dems short.
End the pandemic with cheap, available meds:
************************************
Put every citizen in the USA on Hydroxy-chloroquin prophylaxis dosage. ( 1 x 200 mg HCQ/day, 1 x 220 mg Zinc sulphate or other Zinc vitamin/day)Reopen our Country.
Do NOT listen to big pharm and Plutocrats like Fauci and Birx.
Do not let the Alinskyites win.
Saying “Sorry” is a sign of weakness.
In Wisconsin, Gov nEvers went for the whole ball game already. He wanted to send an absentee ballot to everyone ever registered to vote, including over 200,000 who had been removed and put back on the rolls by a Democrat Judge. And Evers wanted to start ballot HARVESTING...
Evers is working for George SoreAss I believe...
There will always be bugs coming around.
............
I have voted absentee for years and greatly appreciate not having to stand in lines.
...............
You get your ballot several days early and can then leisurely go through the voter guides and take time to make up your mind on all the down ballot choices and initiatives and bond measures.
..............
No brainer, especially if you travel a lot. You get to choose when and where you vote, no weather issues.
If it is all on the up and up you *should* see roughly the same distribution of votes for the various candidates/issues. However, it there is a significant skew in favor of say, candidates and/or positions on issues that just happen to align with the views and agenda of those people bringing the lawsuit... Well now, that would be suspicious - a very real indication of attempted election tampering.
Now you know why Carville aka GOLLUM was all giddy about a possible demonKKKrats wipeout for republicans come November because of the china virus..I believe the rats will go all out to hurt the American economy and people! The economy will be once again the #1 important issue and as it stands 16 MILLION unemployment people isn’t no laughing matter! There are many who are starting to believe the vile koolaid from the mediapukes...why do you think the rats can so causally chasé to their hell holes thumbing the small business without passing the bill? BECAUSE OF THE EVIL SOB MEDIAPUKES!! Will THEY be held accountable...nay, the pukes will cover for them and blame trump and republicans...unfortunately the mediaVOMITS STILL HOLD SO MUCH POWER it’s sickening..they are truly evil!!
Democrats don’t care about rights or the law.
Democrats care about power and brutal oppression.
There is no right to vote in the US Constitution either.
