Democrats sought more time as a way to help deal with an expected historic high number of absentee ballots as soon as they know how many they need.
In the Bush/Gore FLA mess, the USSC ordered the count to be stopped.
This seemed more like an acknowledgement of Democrat proclivities to count, recount, then count again, till they had the necessary votes to win.
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE: The USSC ruled in the Bush/Gore fiasco that it was a violation of the “one man, one vote” to only partially count and SINCE they couldn’t count the whole state, Gore’s partial recount was invalid.
BTW, when the USSC stepped in ......it was due to brilliant legal moves by Bush’s lawyer, former Secy of State James Baker.
In his book about losing the election, Gore related that everytime his lawyers moved in, Bush’s lawyer were one step ahead of them.
Agree. Thankfully, there are some Courts with integrity and common sense. Why is it some “Judges” do not see the potential for manipulation of election results by extending time to count ballots?? OR...could it be they do see the potential impact and it fits their agenda.
