Sorry, I should have said the vote would be 5-3 at best ( RBG is not there to do her damage anymore ).
I was right...
See here:
By a 5-3 vote, however, the court directed South Carolina to accept any absentee ballots returned through Wednesday without a witness signature. More than 150,000 absentee ballots already have been mailed to voters, according to court papers; some 7,891 ballots in South Carolina had been returned as of Oct. 1, according to data collected by the Associated Press.
It’s not good news, it’s not bad news.
It’s bad news followed by a proper ruling.
But repairing the damage done is not permitted.
Three other justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — would have required ballots that have already been returned to have a witness signature to count.
That’s 3 Justices who would have caused mail-in ballots without signature to be returned.
Where was Kavanaugh?
Kavanaugh was the only Justice to provide commentary for the decision. Why? Was Kavanaugh making excuses?
It’s appalling to allow so many unverified ballots pour into election offices. The lack of verification started in July and ends in early October. SCOTUS is allowing these unverified ballots to be counted.
