The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.


quote:

On the other side, Justice Elena Kagan said the logic of the challenge to late-arriving ballots also would be used to rule out early voting and absentee ballots.

Limits on early-voting also seemed to bother Chief Justice John Roberts, who seemed the conservative member of the court most likely to side with Mississippi.

Establishment republicans don’t want to fix voter fraud. It’s more than obvious.

Roberts is compromised. Of course he doesn't want to fix it. He wants Trump gone.

Certainly the SCOTUS understands what happens when voting is not secure.

Roberts is bought-and-paid-for.

whats the confusion here? If they arrive after the legal due date, they are invalid. If the due date is meaningless, then why have a due date at all? Get rid of it and see what kind of shitshow ensues.

We all knew Roberts was gone off the reservation when he re-interpreted Obamacare to approve it as a "tax" so it could be considered constitutional.

He somehow "adopted" two Irish kids despite Ireland having laws in place that disallow adoptions to foreigners.

Its so easily fixable. Lets imagine there is no due date on mail ballots then how can any official certify the results?

And if they have a late arriving date - just move that date up to equal election day. Its so simple but the fraudsters don’t want it changed.

They use election day results to determine how many mail ballots are needed to overcome losses.

It came and went but was mentioned by a slice of the media that Robert’s adoption of kids may have been illegal or off the books.

My question is why the hell the Mississippi legislature is run by liberals who’d pass such an anti-American law? I thought Mississippi was run by conservatives??? Is it Georgia lite?

Of course Kagan would conflate these dissimilar topics and circumstances that fall under different rules and guidelines.

What's so hard to understand? Absentee or want to vote early? Go through the proper channels and do it legally and lawfully. Want to be Maricopa, Clark and Fulton Counties, and keep trucking in ballots of votes for days after the election until the desired outcome is achieved? Tough.

As an aside, Faux News Desk has already called the state of Arizona for Gavin Newsome in 2028.

The argument in favor of allowing late ballots is so stupid. As it is, there's a "grace period" of 5 days to receive and count ballots as long as they were postmarked by election day. So there's already precedent for a cutoff, otherwise we'd never be able to certify an election because what if Joe Blow's ballot is 6 months late? All this does is move that hard cutoff to election day rather than 5 days post-election. If it's communicated in advance this shouldn't be an issue.
