Election lawsuit settlement threatens absentee ballot protections North Carolina
Laurinburg exchange ^ | September 24,2020 | Lindsay Marchello Carolina Journal

Here’s what the settlement would do:

Extend the deadline for local election boards to receive mailed absentee ballots.

Allow an absentee ballot to be counted if it’s either a) received by the county board by 5 p.m. on election day, Nov. 3; or b) the ballot is postmarked on or before election day and received by nine days after the election.

Direct the state election board to create a process to resolve errors on absentee ballots that could be fixed with an affidavit from the voter. Examples include a mailed absentee ballot lacking a voter signature or a witness signature. The affidavit must be returned by no later than 5 p.m. Nov. 12, the day before counties canvass.

Allow people who return ballots in person to verbally give information to election workers instead of writing in a log.

Create a process for establishing a separate absentee ballot drop-off station at each one-stop early voting location and at the county board offices.

The settlement functionally does away with the witness requirement, Jackson said, opening the door for election fraud.

Getting rid of the witness requirement was on N.C. Elections Director Karen Brinson Bell’s wishlist.

In March, Bell sent a list of legislative requests to the General Assembly, which included reducing or removing the witness requirement to absentee ballots. The General Assembly agreed to some of the requests, wrapping them up in House Bill 1169, but ultimately failed to remove the witness requirement.

Under H.B. 1169, only one witness — instead of two — needs to attest to a voter’s identity. Additionally, the law gives more time for county election boards to approve absentee ballot applications. It requires a barcode on those applications to track the ballot.

>>But the settlement included only Democrats and the Democrat-majority elections board, shutting out the Republican-led General Assembly, which crafted the bipartisan elections law.

so this “settlement” is rats negotiating with rats to change the rules to favor rats.

You can’t win when they are making the needed votes after election day.

here in WA (universal mail voting), ballots are counted up to TWO WEEKS after election day

think about this - SUPER MASSIVE FRAUD

my hope, is that a SCOTUS decision will throw out all ballots RECEIVED after election day...

Even if they could find a fair judge in the lower state courts the NC Supreme Court is majority solid marxist!

Marc Elias filed this lawsuit. If the name is not familiar he was Hillary’s chief counsel in 2016 and he also was the architect of the Al Franken Miracle!

Our PA senate has a fed lawsuit. I believe Article II electors must be determined by legislatures. The judge on 3rd circuit in pittsburg seems to have his act together if he gets it. The court ruliong might be unconstitutional. The legislature has time to make changes so it should be a legislative process.

2: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
