So North Carolina can count ballots till the 14th and Pa. till the 6th

The US Supreme Court is leaving in place for now a Pennsylvania state Supreme Court decision that allowed the counting of ballots received up to three days after the election, even if there is no legible postmark.
The justices on Wednesday denied a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to review the decision on an accelerated basis.
The court later on Wednesday allowed the counting of ballots in North Carolina received up to nine days after the election as long as the ballots are postmarked by Election Day.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not participate in the consideration of either motion.
The court's public information officer said that Barrett did not participate because of the need for a "prompt resolution" and because she had not had the time to fully review the filings. Democrats have been pressing the new justice to recuse herself from cases involving the election.

I believe it’s the 12th for NC.
And yes, Roberts again sided with the left wing of the SCOTUS.
Gorsuch wrote an excoriating dissent that included Alito and Thomas.

Nothing to worry about. (Gulp)

People say trump is suppressing the vote. How does it take till the 12th to cast a vote. I pray NC won’t matter but I know it will.

It will be okay - at least in NC.
And I have a feeling SCOTUS would weigh in if Trump has a lead on election night and the Dems are trying to count late ballots into Wednesday and Thursday. The GOP will have attorneys in the rooms at all times.

Ah, so illegality is upheld as long "we're in a hurry" and don't have time to look at it right now? First act as SC Justice is kind of shameful, to be honest. Do your fricking job.

The deadline for receiving a mail-in or absentee ballot was 10/27 for both PA and NC. So election officials already know the exact number of outstanding ballots in both states.
Disappointing that we may not know the results in either of these states for a few days, but at least we won't see the Dems manufacturing new ballots once they know the election results as they stand on 11/3.

North Carolina Senate Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, issued a statement regarding the high court's decision.
"This is the first of two similar, but not identical, cases pending before the U.S. Supreme Court involving the mid-election rewrite of North Carolina's election laws," Berger said. "The precedent set in this year's Supreme Court decisions will determine the future of America's elections. The question is simple: May unelected bureaucrats on a state panel controlled by one political party overrule election laws passed by legislatures, even after ballots have already been cast? If public confidence in elections is important to our system of government, then hopefully the answer to that question is no."

No ballots received after election day should be counted. If you can't send your ballot in time to be received by election day then your vote doesn't need to be counted. This is not hard.

I’m not sure it matters. They aren’t counting ballots sent after Election Day. Taxes are handled the same way.

How exactly do you consider this her first act?
would it surprise you if it was simply a finalized yet unreleased opinion and she didn’t have the opportunity to participate? This thread was already made yesterday and it means nothing substantively—a Motion to Expedite was denied, the ballots will be separated for a later challenge, which she can participate in that decision in PA. She wouldn’t have made a difference in the NC vote either.

Honestly no reason to not wait and let all the votes be counted (assuming they were cast in time). A lot of those votes will be republican.

With post mark machines available for under 2k from China, that is a huge assumption.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but let's wait until we have proof that people are actually intentionally making fake ballots.
