SCOTUS
The first opinion is in Watson v. RNC, the mail-in ballot case.
The court holds that nothing in the federal election-day statutes requires ballots to be received by Election Day in order to be counted.

Barrett is the biggest conservative judicial disaster since Souter. The difference is that few conservatives expected much from Souter whereas Barrett was supposed to be the future of the Court. The worst part is that she’ll be there pushing leftist policies for another 40 years.

BREAKING: A 5-4 Supreme Court rule states CAN count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day but arrive later. #SCOTUS Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorusch & Kavanaugh dissent. https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1260_g3cn.pdf
CAN is the key word here and open to translation by the counting parties at be:
CAN is either Shall or Won’t.

If the liberal is ahead on election day the mail in votes in question won’t be counted.
If the conservative is ahaed on election day the mail in votes in question Shall be counted.
Sounds good to me 😉
Precisely.
Barrett is a RINO bitch. A lying RINO bitch at that. NEVER should have been nominated.
Trump really sucks at nominating good people. Really really sucks. Either he’s stupid or he’s tone deaf to wonder woman Susie…
Trump doesn’t personally vet the candidates — he hold ultimate responsibility for the decision but this failure is on his team! His 1st term was a particularly good example of bad advice from his team…..
Court rules Congress can still end mail-in ballot collection after election day by passing a new law.

But the comments have the meat …. SCOTUS likely ruled correctly. Its up to Congress, yes. But this increases pressure to solve this constitutionally.
