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.

Well since you pretty much meltdown over everything, I can safely assume that you are completely mistaken.
Dems working at the Post Office will make many truck loads of ballots vanish
My answer to their push for mail in voting due to the “pandemic” is this. The election should be postponed until the country reopens and is safer again.
Those RATs would have this virus gone in 60 seconds. heh
Supreme Court ruled that a lower federal court couldnt overwrite Wisconsins election laws.
Schiff to start investigation ......................
Oh my, it was the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Saying Sorry is a sign of weakness.

‘cept at funerals.
This is why the Democrats need the crisis to last past the election.
