The Republican National Committee appealed to the Supreme Court on Monday to end mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections, a new report revealed.
Democracy Docket reported that the appeal is part of a case challenging Mississippi's election law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked on election day to be counted for up to five days after the election is conducted. If approved, the move could prevent millions of people, including many military service members, from voting in the upcoming election.
These post-election receipt deadlines invite the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of an election, the report quotes the RNC's brief as saying. Its hard to blame Americans for those suspicions when some States produce quick results, while others take days to even know how many ballots need to be counted. When news anchors remind voters, Its not over yet, theyre right under any ordinary understanding. As long as ballots are still coming in, the election isnt over.

Maybe this immunity maga enabling court will just bypass Article 1 Section 4..............we don't need any stinking states having rules on voting...........

(15,749 posts)They are all vote by mail, like my state of Oregon, and several others.
They are worried about losing; that's a good sign that the fix is NOT in.
They are planning to use ICE et al to intimidate voters at the polls. Mail voting defangs that, hence the scramble here.
So: vote early, absentee if possible, or by mail. If you wait until Election Day, you are at risk of disenfranchisement through subversive tactics.
Let's overwhelm them.
