Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67, 71-72 is a 9-0 U.S. Supreme Court decision handed down in 1997. The court had agreed to take up the issue of federal statutes vs. states' regarding election for federal offices and state election dates, ruling that "Election Day" means what it says: a singular day. The case that started it: Murphy J. Foster Jr., Governor of Louisiana, et al., Petitioners v. G. Scott Love, Paul S. Bergeron, Kathleen B. Balhoff, and Bennie Baker-Bourgeois.

Constitutional attorney Ren Jander's Nov. 18, 2020, piece, "Elections Undecided by Midnight are Void & Preempted by Federal Law – Foster v Love (1997; 9-0 Decision)" is a thorough examination of that case and federal statutes. Jander wrote, "Federal Election Day statutes were designed to curtail fraud, and to infuse a prima facie sense of integrity in our electoral process. But these States – in failing to obey Congressional deadlines – have flagrantly attempted to preempt federal law. This is certainly prohibited, and this is why the late election results are void."

Awww, c’mon. Sometimes it takes days or even weeks for the democrats to print enough ballots to steal elections.
I remember the state court trying to dictate with the Gore fiasco...and they were told...sorry....this is a Federal Election and Federal rules apply...and that’s how it got to the Supreme Court.
Oregon is 100% mail-in, with postage paid return envelopes. And Oregon now allows ballots to be received after election day.

“When the federal statutes speak of ‘the election’… they plainly refer to the combined actions of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder… By establishing a particular day as ‘the day’ on which these actions must take place, the statutes simply regulate the time of the election, a matter on which the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the final say.” Foster v. Love (1997) We will take a closer at this binding precedent below, but in preview, please understand that it emanates from a 9-0 decision of the United States Supreme Court, wherein the entire Court...

Ok, so if voting isn’t completed in numerous states by midnight election day in 2024 then Biden gets to remain President?
Just asking because the Constitution specifies a Presidential Election every 4 years. If the 2024 election can’t be certified because the vote count is incomplete, then the next Presidential Election is in 2028.
Complete nonsense.
Postmarked by midnight election day meets every requirement for every state and the Feds too.
I wish they’d rule that Election Day means Election Day.
No early voting.
No mail in voting except where somebody petitions for it and can show a need...eg sick/injured or infirm, or has to be out of state on business, etc. Those who fit this category to mail in their ballots via US post and it must be postmarked 3 days before election day.
You show up ON Election Day and you vote then. We did it that way for over 200 years. It worked.
Well, I meant if vote COUNT isn’t completed by midnight in my previous post.
Sigh. Not this idiotic nonsense again.
Just like an April 15 tax filing placed in the mail.
We must look pitiful to the rest of the world
HOW about the 2020 Election that was NOT COMPLETE????
Make it a national holiday, vote in person.
RECEIVED is the KEY WORD.
The idea of allowing early voting should make it understandable that all votes need to be in by midnight.
None of this poor little voter didn’t have his vote counted crap. The voter had weeks to get is vote done.
Remember the plane loads of lawyers and hanging chad, etc.?
Bandanna Republican!
Bingo
