Breaking news: A Michigan judge said the state must accept ballots that arrive within 14 days of the election as long as they are postmarked by November 2. This will likely mean thousands more ballots will count in a state decided by 10,000 votes in 2016.


quote:

This is very significant and the second ruling this week in a key swing state extending the ballot receipt deadline. The Pennsylvania supreme court ruled yesterday that ballots in the state must count if they are postmarked by election day and arrive by Friday after.


quote:

The judge also said Michigan cannot restrict who can help voters return an absentee ballot from the Friday before election day through election day (Michigan law only allows certain people to do so)

Will the Nov 2 postmark date be enforced? This is ridiculous, how can they get away with this?

No

In some states they're counting ballots with no post mark and in others they're not rejecting ballots that don't have matching signatures.

The Dem voters who can barely get themselves to the polling place (or not at all) where they must be led by the hand to figure it out aren't gonna have the willpower or brainpower to carry out the extra steps involved here.

This election will likely go down making 2000 look like child's play.

It is time the GOP and conservatives learn how to protest in an effective manner. Not rioting like the Dems or showing up at a state capitol with rifles like right wing militias. This will get ugly soon.

The courts in this country have failed. They are no longer a check as designed, they are a problem.

So I assume the Republicans will just roll over? This is pathetic! They will be all over TV whining about it and that’s about it.

Article 2, Section 1 makes it clear that only the legislature of a state can determine how electors are selected. Judges suspending state election laws during a pandemic would have never crossed the framers’ minds, but that is irrelevant.

This is patently unconstitutional.

The GOPE are against Trump so they are happy about this ruling. They don't care that it will be their undoing in the future all they care about now is OMB.

Democrats will see how far behind Biden is on election night and then enough mail in ballots will come in after the fact to put him over the top.

Correct.

And either Trump will prove to be the fighter we all thought he was or the greatest Trojan horse in world history.
