US Supreme Court Sides with GOP, Rejects Dem Calls to Extend Wisconsin Deadline For Absentee Ballots Received After Election Day
GP ^ | 10/26/20 | Cristina Laila

The US Supreme Court on Monday in a 5-3 vote rejected Democrat calls to reinstate the six-day extension for the receipt of mail ballots in Wisconsin.

This is a huge win for President Trump, the GOP and the American people.

President Trump won the historically blue state of Wisconsin in 2016 against Hillary Clinton by a razor thin margin.

The Democrats fought to reinstate the six-day extension for absentee ballots and lost big time on Monday.

Below is a key passage from Chief Justice Roberts, who voted to block the Wisconsin extension but allowed a three-day extension in Pennsylvania.

“While the Pennsylvania applications implicated the authority of state courts to apply their own constitutions to election regulations, this case involves federal intrusion on state lawmaking processes. Different bodies of law and different precedents govern these two situations and require, in these particular circumstances, that we allow the modification of election rules in Pennsylvania but not Wisconsin,” Roberts said.

More good news.

Wisconsin mail in ballots will not work for Biden.

That is what I was thinking. It should apply to P.A. too.

Ditto North Carolina. The Dems were trying the same thing.

Yeah, if they can shut down the post-Election Day shenanigans in PA, that would be good. Might need Justice Barrett to chime in on that case.

A great birthday present for Hillary. Plenty of encouraging polling and we got a full court going into the election, Roberts’ power on the court is weakened. Good day.

Excelent

The sad thing is it stil wont stop boxes of balots the dems will cheat with from being added into the legitimate voter ballots

They ony have up until then

So they are going to now just cheat earlier but probably not in the same quantities and if we get impossible overage amounts of ballots vs population numbers, we will have the proof they did so

The PA Ruling was awful...so what’s the difference? Why rule one out and the other stay? The Pennsylvania ruling is more egregious! Roberts knows PA is a crucial state for trump he is trying to have it both ways!! Ass!!

I agree and who really knows?

Perhaps because if Justice Roberts can be blackmailed by one party, then he can probably be blackmailed by the other too.

Nice try John, but they kicked it up to the feds after state courts ignored the law and made it up as they went along. Someone’s got to be the adult. Hopefully, this will be reheard with Barrett on the court.

I guess Roberts voted with the conservative justices this time to balance out his appearance that he is not a partisan. Problem is, the cases are so similar as to be identical twins, so he is nothing more than an activist judge.
