Judge rules Georgia ballots mailed by Election Day must be counted [GA goes Dem!]
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 8/31/20 | Mark Niesse

A federal judge on Monday extended the deadline for absentee ballots to be returned in Georgia, ruling that they must be counted if postmarked by Election Day and delivered up to three days afterward.

The decision will likely result in tens of thousands of ballots being counted after Nov. 3 that would have otherwise been rejected, enough to swing close elections. The ruling invalidates Georgia’s requirement that ballots had to be received at county election offices by 7 p.m. on Election Day.

U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross wrote that voters must be protected during the coronavirus pandemic, when record numbers of Georgians are expected to cast absentee ballots.

I predict the lowest turn out ever. People don’t adapt to change easily.plus Democrats can’t help but hurt their cause. They are the boomerang party always getting smacked by their own agenda.

9k actual COVID deaths - is that a pandemic?

Pretty obvious what they’ve been up to....they’d destroy this country rather than give up power.

Election Day is just to give them the tally of how many late mail-in votes they have to process.

And with “judges” like these around the swing state ... it will be nearly impossible for Trump to win.

This will be a stolen election with Bite-me declared the winner by Christmas.

For those too lazy to read the linked AJC article:
"The secretary of state's office plans to immediately appeal the ruling."

Judge Eleanor Ross is a judicial lightweight, as the sum of her judicial experience prior to her affirmative action appointment by Obama was three years as a State Court judge. For those unfamiliar, State Courts in Georgia handle minor civil law actions, dispossessions, misdemeanors and certain traffic offenses. Her sole qualification to be a US District judge was her skin color, so this ruling should surprise no one.

Next stop: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

“Ross denied other changes sought by the lawsuit, including free ballot postage, quick notification of absentee application deficiencies, automatic mailing of absentee ballots to all voters, and ballot collection by third-party organizations.”

Well the judge did deny the laundry list of other things the group wanted which included ballot harvesting and automatic mailing of absentee ballots.
People have to request the absentee ballot at least and there are some safe guards. They do allow a 3 day extension for Military ballots already
We will see what happens on appeal.

Horsesh!!

Why hold the line at “Election day” postmark then? Why not a week after the election you can still submit ballots?

There is NOTHING Coronavirus related that ANYONE who wants to request, obtain, and mail in an absentee ballot has to WAIT until election day to decide to mail the sucker in. This is about manufacturing ballots late in the day on election day.

They stopped counting actual H1N1 deaths and cases in 2009 even though it was a problem well into 2010 (and now they just call it “Flu”). It was all guesswork/BS.

We are being played. This is contrary to all previous pandemics and I blame globalist Bill Gates and his Event 201 cabal who met in October 2019 to discuss how to shut down the global economy over “South American Pig Virus”.

We need the kind of revolution in this country where all of these lawless judges are fired.
