SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 With all of The Agent of Chaos’ complaining VA voters are showing up at early voting stations with mail in ballot in hand to return the ballot, getting it nullified and voting in person by the hundreds daily. We might get actual results the day of. 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I wish the Supreme Court would step in and say that all mailed ballots must be received by close of polls in that state, on election day, to count. There must be something before them? (I do not know, I am asking.) 3

There must be something before them? (I do not know, I am asking.) https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/09/trump-plan-supreme-court-stop-election-vote-count.html Election laws about receipt dates vs. postmark dates are typically left to the individual states to decide. And a number of Democratic and Republican states have had the "postmark rule." So the litigation centers around ballots that don't have a postmark, the argument being that the constitution sets "election day," such that a ballot that cannot be shown to have been submitted by that Tuesday arguably is one that may be considered "submitted" late. As to why Republicans are all of a sudden interested in trying to eliminate the postmark rule -- even when properly applied -- that's a matter of politics, not law. Pennsylvania Republicans are planning on going to the U.S. Supreme Court to argue against a state Supreme Court ruling allowing the counting of ballots arriving soon after Election Day without a legible postmark. They argue that doing so unconstitutionally extends Election Day beyond Nov. 3 and takes power away from the Pennsylvania Legislature to choose presidential electors. The first argument is not a particularly strong one: A decision to accept ballots soon after Election Day without a legible postmark does not extend Election Day as much as it implements how election officials determine if a mailed ballot was timely mailed. It recognizes the reality that many ballots have been arriving without postmarks and uses proximity to the election as a proxy for timely voting. Virginia and Nevada recently adopted similar rules, in light of pandemic-related mail delays. The Trump-allied Honest Elections Project is fighting a consent decree over a similar extension in Minnesota.
