At Wednesday’s argument in Bost v. Illinois Board of Elections, not many of the justices worked hard to hide their cards. It appears there is a substantial majority, perhaps as many as seven justices, leaning toward reversing the lower federal courts’ holding that Rep. Michael Bost, a Republican member of Congress, lacked a legal right to sue, known as standing, to challenge an Illinois law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted even if they arrive as many as 14 days later. Perhaps the bigger mystery is what precise test for “standing” the court will adopt for election-law cases.
In federal court, plaintiffs only have standing to sue if they properly allege that the challenged action or law causes them “concrete and particularized injury in fact.” Plaintiffs are not allowed to challenge laws in federal court on the ground that they are citizens or even taxpayers. They must allege some more specific personal harm that raises the claim to something beyond a mere “generalized grievance.”
Former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, arguing for Bost, opened by boldly proposing a rule that would recognize standing for any candidate to challenge any material change in the way an election will be conducted, especially how and when votes are to be counted.

Well, we know the two, then - the Wide One and the Brainless One.
Well if my “mail in” ballot can take 14 days to arrive, then why couldn’t I vote on the 14th day after the election? Same principal?
“...ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted even if they arrive as many as 14 days later...”
So anyone with a postal punch stamp machine can send in hundreds (thousands) of ballots AFTER election day, knowing it will be counted.
This is how Rats have been stealing elections for decades.
ABOUT DAMNED TIME
EXACTLY
Between this and the news that Dominion has been bought out we may just be making progress in having secure elections.
Secure elections! What a concept!
It’s one of many ways...
