The Supreme Court’s action on Tuesday means that the 3rd Circuit ruling cannot be used as a precedent in the three states covered by this regional federal appellate court—Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware—to allow the counting of ballots with minor flaws such as the voter failing to fill in the date.

Ketanji Brown Jackson - she doesn’t know what a woman is, does she even know what a legal ballot is ?

LAWS? What stinking laws?! Laws only apply to the Republicans never the Democrats! Just take a look at Colorado what’s going on with the 30,000 registration cards sent to illegals. How many of those illegals voted in 2020? The rats can break laws and get away with it but God forbid if the Republicans even think of breaking one! It’s the gulags for Republicans but promotions and tons of money along with book deals for the Democrats!

Rewording this to what I think they're saying...and read a bit about...This decision is a one time thing.

In other words, you've been warned....do it right or your vote will not count.

But the whole issue that brought the case - the 2020 elections - is now “moot” - the cat is already out of the bag.

The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot.

Yes, it can help in elections going forward but it also cannot be used to dispute a 2020 election - in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware - that’s moot now.

If a group of conservatives made a concerted effort to steal an election suddenly election security would become a bipartisan issue.

Of course, I am just commenting, not suggesting. Any conservatives that employed democrat election tactics would be prosecuted, spend a couple of years in solitary confinement awaiting trial, and then be sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Sounds like SCOTUS is reminding lower courts of the plenary powers of Congress and the states’ election laws.

So, mail-in ballot’s outer envelope requires a signature. Is there signature verification?

Many will claim the postmark on a ballot is sufficient.

But many ballots go straight into “drop boxes” and never see the postal system, hence, they never get a postmark.

So 3rd circuit tells Ritter, have to count defective ballots, Ritter goes to Supremes. SC refuses to stop counting. Ritter loses. 3rd rules you can count ballots in violation of state law. SC says no you can’t. SC establishes that 3rd circuit decision was wrong and it cost Ritter the election, but Ritters election can’t be overturned. Only if it happens again. Way to go Supremes! In other news SC refuses to hear case when a fetus becomes entitled to constitional rights. They gladly give those rights to illegals, but will not discuss for the unborn. Useless bastards washed their hands of their most important responsibility when they walked away from Roe v Wade this year. Now anyone can decide who lives and who dies. Anarchy is here we just don’t realize it. What a shame no one thought to enshrine a human right to life in the condition. The declaration mentioned it, but that’s not the law. Supremely sucking SC.

It means nothing, as the PA SC also sided with Republicans in 2020 and was overridden by a few of its own members afterwards.

“as voters go to the polls on Nov. 8 in midterms in which Republicans are seeking to seize control of Congress from the Democrats.”

“Seize”

They make it sound like an insurrection. Between that and the misleading title then I would say the Epoch times needs a new writer. Justice has not been served by this case if I am understanding its poorly explained complexity.

Why even have rules, if the courts won’t allow them to be
enforced.

If a date is required, then it should be there to be valid.

It would be interesting if the legislature was involved at
all in setting up balloting by mail.

If not, it’s a totally illegal tool in the first place.

It was vacated as moot so it’s meaningless

This is the dispute Amy Conehead Barrett dodged a week before the election.
