As predicted, with lower courts and state officials changing the rules in the middle of an election and watch even after the voting. The GOP Lawsuits Fight Back Minnesota Republicans go to court to challenge vote-counting delays. Judges in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia have ordered that late-arriving ballots be counted this November, even (in one case) if they lack postmarks. North Carolina officials announced a settlement on Tuesday that includes tabulating tardy ballots through Nov. 12. Minnesota is under a similar consent decree. Six weeks from Nov. 3, will these ad-hoc arrangements stand? More judges will decide. This week two Minnesota Republicans went to federal court to challenge that consent deal, which was entered into by a Democratic official. Minnesota’s Legislature has set the ballot deadline at 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. Yet Secretary of State Steve Simon, the lawsuit says, “has agreed with private parties to rewrite the times and manner of elections in Minnesota.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-gop-lawsuits-fight-back-11600990544?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 Ballots arriving days late.......no problem count them. No postmark......no problem count them. Where do these judges believe they get the state constitutional authority to change the rules of the election, the state legislature does that. The Florida Supreme Court tried that in 2000 and the SCOTUS told them they cannot change the rules once the election begins and that they could show no constitutional authority to order selective recounts. Just wait until it is more than half the states with all these rouge judges and state officials who think they can manipulate the election to get their desired results.
Democrats have a strategy, keep counting votes until you can find enough in car trunks to eventually pretend that Joe won.
The lawsuits started earlier, Nevada is settled (the administration lacked standing), Montana and a few others are outstanding. The Trump campaign set aside 20M for lawsuits earlier in the year telegraphing their approach. The suits above will fail simply because they can’t prove harm. Something that has benefitted the Republican Party—mail-in voting—-is now going to harm Republican voters, huh? Many state legislators granted their Secretary of State the power to start countIng ballots prior to November 3rd. There shouldn’t be an issue with a large turnout anticipated but expect nuisance suits to delay the obvious outcome. No gracious concession speech this cycle. The EC over/under is likely 330 Biden with a 5M popular vote margin. I’d take over on both.
Bingo. Republicans are 100% all in for mail in voting only when it benefit's them. Now that Democrats are all for it, the GOP & Trump want it stopped. LOL
