North Carolina can accept absentee ballots that are postmarked by Election Day for more than a week afterward, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals declined to block an extension for accepting the ballots that was announced in late September. The State Board of Elections decided then that absentee ballots could be accepted until Nov. 12 as long as they were mailed by Election Day, lengthening the timeframe from three to nine days. The change was made as part of a legal settlement with voting rights advocates.

Next it will be ok if the ballots were printed after election day.
Yes.
Am sure right now they are collecting or storing ballots for the late voting “surprise”. The trick will be to get enough to overcome the President’s lead. That is why they need 9 days to get the fraud right.
In 2016, they got the Cooper fraud right but not the Presidential vote right....after they let Durham’s precincts stay open for a short time after the voting deadline.
ACB blows the entire democrat plan to smithereens. The post election parade of dem Supreme Court sanctioned fraud ends in the staging area. Those photos of Roberts on Lolita Island become basically irrelevant once she’s seated. Drat! Curses! Foiled again.
That may be true, that he should never have let it go to a confirmation hearing, but if he hadn’t, how would I have gotten to see that glorious moment when she held up her blank note pad? Forever etched in my brain. Maybe even seared into it.
“Chief Justice John Roberts and his three liberal colleagues voted to leave the court order in place.“ AP story about the 4-4 vote in the similar Pennsylvania case says it all. The press at least are now stating the obvious.
In Pennsylvania's case, SCOTUS tied 4-4 so the state Supreme Court ruling stands. That means it's up to their legislature to fight for its own Constitutional powers.
Mark Levin said last night that the legislature of Pennsylvania should immediately pass a resolution declaring the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling null and void, citing their Article II power to set election law regarding federal Electors to the Electoral College.Levin said to bypass the governor's signature because the Constitution doesn't say anything about governor or court oversight of the Legislatures' Article II power. He said the legislature should send the resolution to the governor and courts, and to all the counties in the state, as a notice of compliance with the law as passed by the legislature.
Levin said the legislator's need to have a spine and start asserting their powers. He said they don't have to accept the court's power grab, that they have power of their own if only they're willing to use it. He said that we should start fighting back the liberal use of power with exertion of our own powers.
If they would do this, then it would likely go back to the federal Supreme Court after Barrett is confirmed. This time, it won't be a challenge to the lower court ruling, it would be a challenge of their Article II power.
In the case of North Carolina, the legislature should go straight to the federal Supreme Court arguing Article II powers, not the decision of the lower court. We already know how Roberts will rule on the lower court ruling, so he should be faced with the Constitutional separation of powers issue from Article II instead.

Legislation by decree. Completely unconstitutional.
Completely unconstitutional.
Not anymore, apparently. Not so long as we acknowledge the courts as the final say on things.
I live in Durham...
It begs the question, if one is inside the state why would one drop the vote at the post office instead of going to the local precinct and vote?
The answer will be that the person does not want to risk getting China virus. OK, great - so explain how do such persons get their groceries to feed themselves and/or their families? Another answer will be that they are going to work and have no time to go to the precinct. Isn’t that why we instituted early voting?
Bottom line, there is no such thing as election day anymore, and the judiciary yet again undermines the form of government that we used to have beyond all recognition.
Why not 30!!
Why not just stop the minute there are enough ballots showing the demonkkkraps have won the election? If they can’t do it in 30 days after the first Tuesday after the first Monday in December, they deserve to “lose”.
“Mostly legal voting”
The 4th Circuit is the most liberal court in the nation now. The GOP can appeal as soon as ACB is confirmed. It won’t do any good right now.
Since the ballots have to be post-marked by election day, how could the Dems cheat (which we all know they want to) unless the Post Office was also in on it and would willingly “back-date” ballots somehow?
In state mail doesn’t take 9 days. They are opening the door to fraud on a massive scale. They have 9 days to gather as many votes as they need.

Let’s be reasonable. It takes at least 9 days for fabricated ballots. Those fake postmarks are hard work!
I’d wait u til next Tuesday
Good suggestion.
Oh - then you know what happened in 2016.
I hope they do so.
They would hoard ballots and get them all postmarked on election day. And then send them in in bulk.
