Are judges going to follow the law, or make up their own law?
Arizona:
Your ballot-by-mail must be received by county election officials by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. If you are going to mail back your ballot-by-mail for the General Election, we recommend you do so by October 27, 2020.
Otherwise, you should take your ballot to any ballot drop-off location or voting location in your county by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.
The Republican legislatures of Michigan and Pennsylvania need to follow suit and appeal their Dem Supreme courts political decision to extend the time up to 2 weeks after the election to receive ballots. Eventually all three battleground states will get reversed in the Supreme Court. If this election is stolen, it will be those 3 battlegrounds where it will be stolen with mail in ballots chicanery
The date is arbitrary, but once selected - Nov 3, let’s abide by it.
Otherwise, might as well set Nov 9 (3+6 days) as “election day”. I’d be fine with physically going to the polls on Nov 9 instead of Nov 3, as long as it was the final day for post-marks and mail-in ballots.
This whole issue is on track to be decided by SCOTUS before the election. Perhaps 5-4 with the justice Trump is about to nominate the tie-breaker.
We need to be prepared for the Leftist megatantrum sure to follow.
Another setup to disenfranchise the military vote ?
a judge that is following the law?
wow!
superduper!
What a stupid title. It makes it sound like an appeals court had already ruled in our favor.
The Wi SC is still 5-4 Republican so the rats went to a federal hack Judge bypassing the Wi court. So now it will be up to a 4-4 SC which would mean the Judge’s ruling will stand. In Mi a lower state court extended vote counting two weeks after the election. The Mi SC is also 5-4 Republican but the Mi GOP as fas as I know hasn’t appealed to them. Why l cannot imagine.
Election Day is Election Day, NOT “Election Season”!!!! That’s the way it’s always been—anything else is an invitation to cheat!!
We’ve been hearing about these places doing mail-in-ballots for 2-3 months now. Should have been plenty of time to get them printed up and be about done mailing them out as we speak.
I’ll be voting in person just like pretty much everyone in MO outside of maybe St Louis. I voted in the primary at the volunteer fire dept bldg a few miles up the road. Three old ladies, one wearing a mask but had it on her chin and the other two no masks at all. Love being rural, most of the time.
Republicans shouldn't fall into the trap of debating the merits of the ruling.
Republicans should argue that the court has no jurisdiction to make the ruling, no matter the merits, because the Constitution gives the power to the legislature regarding Electors.
Republicans should say that court's ruling should only apply to down-ticket votes that arrive late, but the Presidential vote will be counted on ballots received on or before Election Day only.

These democats are going to try to steal the election, again!
Joe Isuzu writing the headlines now?
Personally, I would be fine with allowing absentee ballots to be counted the next day, provided the postal service was able to verify that they had been placed in mail boxes before 8pm on election night (when the election ends in Wisconsin and they start announcing votes).
This would require that the post office pay overtime for workers to go and collect mail from every mailbox at 8pm.
You know, absentee ballots from military are required to be counted for 7 days after the election, so it’s not like we are introducing something new here. The outrageous changes being made are
- Not requiring a matching signature
- Not requiring a legible postmark
- Not requiring a witness signature
- Not requiring a sealed security envelope
- Allowing election boards to pre-count and leak the numbers
Oregon has had mail in voting for 20 years. Ballots have to be received on time, or they are not counted (at least that is what our law says.)
