It gets even worse:



This will result in thousands of votes not being counted. This is a illegitimate election.
Wait, are they not going to count votes mailed in tomorrow or today?

Nope, they have to be in by poll close

If they are postmarked by tomorrow, then they count.

This might as well be election interference.

Wisconsin Republicans are some stiff competition for North Carolina Republicans when it comes to the Most Evil State Party Award.

According to this, we're actually still not going to get results tomorrow?:



If so, that is weird.  Yes, they are still accepting absentee ballots later in the week if they are postmarked by Tuesday, but that is a common thing.  Lots of states accepts absentee ballots arriving after Election Day if they are postmarked by Election Day.  They still report the results on Election Day.

This basically sounds like a CA or AZ type of election at this point, so there's no reason why results shouldn't be allowed to start tonight.

Not really. At the *very least* there was no reason to change the lower court's ruling that ballots could be received by April 13th and *DIDNT* need to be postmarked by April 7th.

There was no "legally correct decision," just a stark difference in jurisprudential views. The dissent focused on the equity of the outcome (realism) while the majority focused on a technical aspect of the proceeding (formalism), which is fine in a vacuum, sure, but not given the context that this ruling allows people to be disenfranchised at the whim of a state government, & that people will die because of this.

And if you seriously think that the Court's majority is above finding a means to justify the ends, then I've got a case of hydroxychloroquine to sell you.

The bigger issue here is our inability to switch to 100% mail ballots. The US voting system is a disaster and more 19th than 21st century. Voters need to be enlisted automatically instead of registering and mail ballots should always be possible by request. Most developed countries are much better here.

So some Democrats are attacking the Judicial Branch and its independence because they followed the Law that some Democrats didn't like? Very dangerous almost authoritarian path.

A. No Democrat has attacked the independence of the judicial branch.

B. The judicial branch didn't "follow the law."
