It will get reversed, the Supreme Court already gave North Carolina 9 days after election day.
That was because super smart ‘need no notes’ Amy who we had to rush into confirmation to prevent further election fraud, couldn’t get up to speed 2 days on the job as to what Article 1 sec 4 means for North Carolina and Pennsylvania changing thier voter laws without the legislature being involved.
In 2000 Florida was counting counties different. The SC said that was not right but I think differences by state are ok.
As Jay Sekulow explained it today on his program, the Supreme Court is not going to order a stay and make a substantive decision at this late stage of the election.
However, they could very well make a decision on the validity of the mail-in ballots from states like North Carolina that will be counted after the election.
Enforces? Who even checks to see whether they are doing as the 8th Circuit ordered?”
Steve Simon is the Minnesota Secretary of State. A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party and with a Rat Governor this Court order will be ignored.
So it sounds as if the State Supreme Court failed to honor the law as it is written and the Federal Court told them they don’t have that power.
Off the top of my head, I recall that the NC mail in (absentee) votes may be counted like any state does, even after election day.
The key is when the votes were submitted. Almost all legal precedents so far are that the votes must be submitted by election day.
It’s remarkable that there’s any controversy in this.”
It is. For the first time in our history we have states allowing post election votes when the losing side will know how many votes they need to “find”. It is the definition of disenfranchising voters.
Listen here joy boy!
I would say the opposite. Many state supreme courts are allowing changes to their states laws or out right ignoring the laws that were put in place by the state legislature. SCOTUS has a history of supporting state laws that were in place and not making changes.
My opinion - I dont think this will get reversed.
Here we have a discrepancy between the 8th Circuit’s order for Minnesota, versus what’s happening elsewhere like PA.
This normally would produce an automatic appeal to the Supreme Court to reconcile differences.
At best, it is a “technical” recusal - though I believe that the turncoat Rodgers had something to do with it.
If that ruling applies to one state, wouldn’t it apply to all.?
Now how about Pennsylvania?
“I always wonder about that. Who enforces these rulings at the state level?”
Secretary of State
Correct. However, if I read the decision correctly, the NC GOP needs file for an injunction requiring that any votes received after the statutory deadline be kept separate and not counted until the case is resolved. They can’t just assume that will be done, and once the votes are counted, the case is moot.
There is still the problem of the Minneapolis City Council kicking out all of the Republican election to do all the counting of absentee ballots behind closed doors.
After the Al Franken fiasco, where he won by just 312 votes, the MN legislature passed a law that requires that all absentee ballots must be counted by election judges selected from both major parties. Minneapolis is booting out the Republicans, and a leftist judge rubber stamped it ignoring the plain wording of the law.
Because State Legislatures have the sole sovereign power to appoint Electors, however they choose to, and they have chosen different rules.
Equal protection has nothing to do with it. There are no Presidential elections in the Constitution, therefore, there is no Constitutional right to vote for President to be protected by a Federal court, and therefore Bush v. Gore never should have been heard by SCOTUS in the first place.
The courts are holding states to their EXISTING election laws on the books, and are not allowing changes to be made DURING the election year, including changes allowed by state court decisions.
No because each state is sovereign. Each can make their own laws as long as those laws don’t override the constitution and some federal laws.
NC is allowed to accept votes as long as they are postmarked by the 3rd.
What the stipulations are for Michigan, has never been made clear.
