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.

Question:Are the mail ballots sent out all Dem ballots?Maybe two can play that game.

Looks like the democrats next election ploy is going to be mobilizing their federal judges to alter election rules, using the phony pandemic to justify their rulings.

Gee, theres a freakin surprise.I long for the day that these commie judges are arrested and charged with sedition.Put her ass in the poor house defending against the charges.They would do it to us in a heartbeat.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I remember that lunatic.

"U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross wrote that voters must be protected during the coronavirus pandemic,..."

Well, isn't she the boss of all. With her as yet another queen of all flying monkeys, we don't need a legislature or constitution, state or federal.

Operation Chaos is in effect.

What has been the guidance on absentee voting by, say, American servicemen and women deployed overseas? I’m guessing it wasn’t just “postmarked by Election Day”.

[grey_whiskers]

Careful with ... some of those letter combinations.

[Nifster]

Hope the SoS appeals this ridiculous decision

[Revolutionary]

How about people mailing the ballots a little earlier if they are worried about arriving on time.

This is so bad. What has happened to my country? Hopefully Trump will win in a landslide and it will be decided early

From her Wikipedia page, she has a history of doing this kind of stuff:

In November 2018 Ross ruled against then Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp whose office delayed 50,000 voting registration applications placed on hold due to Georgia's “exact-match” law, requiring that personal information on voter applications match what is on state databases. Her ruling allowed some 3,000 naturalized U.S. citizens to vote in elections and prevent the state from throwing out some absentee ballots.

Being played? You mean the flubros were right?

[madprof98]

This is a federal court ruling. It can’t be overturned by a Georgia court.

[fortheDeclaration]

It will be overturned by a higher court.

[JimRed]

Then there has to be a certified chain of custody in the post office pipeline for all ballots.

Translation: “We will keep counting until Biden wins GA. Then, we’ll stop.”

[usnavy_cop_retired]

Federal judge, not state judge. I think that there should be a law that all of these types of cases must be heard in state courts.

[JustaCowgirl]

The GOP needs to contest this one right now. That’s a command to cheat after the fact.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The judge just ruled that he is giving the Dems 3 additional days to “find” enough votes to win.
