Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Watson v. Republican National Committee, the RNC’s challenge to a Mississippi law allowing mail-in or absentee ballots to be counted up to five days of Election Day.
Many observers have noted the court seems likely to rule that ballots for federal elections must arrive on/before election day itself. The full oral argument is below. LISTEN:

What an embarrassment that photo is.

I’m just glad she isn’t one of these “fluid gender” types that dress like her but keep their beards. Aesthetically speaking, she makes an acceptable facsimile.
Thomas and Alito are definitely the ones stuck in the middle with clowns on the left and jokers to their right…smh
I remember when Ruth Ginsberg finally kicked the bucket. I posted “Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead” starting quite a lively discussion on the old White House YouTube website. 🙂
Pack of losers except for 2 of them
What a fabulous video. Thank you so much. I am tech ignorant and have no idea how one post a video. I showed to my wife and as I watched it a second time; memories and tears from this guy…bill
of, by, and for the government class. taking govt pay is a conflict of interest. cant have an impartial judge that makes a living from taxpayers.
Please let it be so.
This nonsense of an election week or more via mail-ins, is so transparently for one reason only. Fix this and election security goes up ten-fold overnight.
Supreme Court gonna be opening Pandora’s box if they don’t strike down post-election day ballots.
You’re right! If not every Blue State could go to mail in ballots only guaranteeing fraudulent elections in perpetuity!!!
I’m waiting to see Justice Jackson’s thoughts, her verbal comments and written response!! Also the comments of virtue signaling weird Justice ACB!
No. It’s only one of 5 seriously effective paths to fraud and fixing it alone will not fix the problem.
The other 4 are:
Force the proper & thorough cleansing of voter rolls to eliminate all invalid listings.
Pass Save Act to force ID and require valid proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Force the showing of ID at polling place on election day to confirm voter is listed is legally registered (no walk-ins).
Eliminate electronic voting and electronic vote count handling.
Good start – here are some more:
If a person wants to exercise the franchise then they should have to take the trouble to register with the resistrar of voters or SoS in a timely manner in the proper precinct – no exceptions. That’s how we all did it; it’s not that damn hard.
I would add to your list with a proposal that prevents/bans ranked choice voting. It’s not widely used, and needs to stay that way.
Yes. I would think that the 5 top level measures would capture the problems you listed with a possible exception of provisional batting.
Nonetheless, the items you listed need to be addressed somehow in any voting legislation that’s designed to clean up and prevent fraud.
Went to vote in IL last Tuesday. They asked me for an ID. I said I don’t have one. I tried but couldn’t get one. They said No problem, what’s your name? What’s your birthdate?
They asked What language I’d like my ballot? Showed me a page with many options. I said how many language options are there? No reply. I said do you have Swahili? (Does it matter- the names are in English anyway)
When my ballot had been run through the electronic rigging machine, the nice lady was preparing to hand me an “I Voted” sticker. I asked if I could have one for my dad? She said oh, sure! I said he’s dead. But I know he voted anyway.
Gave them something to talk about. Like when I asked the nurse if I fart would she be able to smell with the mask on? You know-Covid! Sometimes being obnoxious can be useful if it makes others think.
IL planning to impose a ten cent bag tax. Plan is to hike it to a quarter by 2030. The Land of Lincoln- making slavery common for the common man.
I also like being obnoxious.
Everyone should own & be using their own shopping bags by now – Boycott the plastic bags AND the bag tax.
Some stores here charge for bags some do not; it doesn’t affect me I just hear people in front of me being coerced into paying for a temporary disposable planned-obsolesence *garbage* container for carrying their other purchases home in. It’s Nuts.
Better is easy & inexpensive:
go to a thrift shop or (not an advert) goodwill-type place and buy 3-6 canvas, duck, burlap, whatever strong material – *not any kind of plastic* – large well-made tote bags (yes they are there, maybe not all on the same day or in the same store, be selective; $2-$4 each depending); this search-&-rescue mission only has to be done until you have enough suitable for your needs…
and REJECT all plastic bags everywhere every time.
Wash the bags before use (!) & every few uses (!) – wash the food-specific ones more often (!!!);
let them air dry so they stay strong; because the clothes dryer heat breaks down thread & fabric fibers & degrades them unnecessarily.
It’s a win-win-win good habit so No Excuses. Call it being obnoxious if that makes you feel like doing it…
Or whatever it takes.
I *LOVE* that you asked for a sticker for your dad & told them why he didn’t get one himself!!!
Absolutely ridiculous.
why should there be a tax on a bag to carry it out of the store but no tax on the bag I put my produce in.
or, I suppose the bag I carry it home in is far worse than the plastic packaging that the product comes in? Or the plastic container for the milk or juice that’s purchased.
i remember when they WENT TO PLASTIC from PAPER—it’s better for the environment! Now somehow it’s not good for the environment (the argument was paper was made from wood and trees are being cut for all these paper bags). Funny thing is, trees ARE A RENEWABLE resource and paper bags ARE BIODEGRADABLE, unlike the plastic packaging—even though I’ve seen those plastic bags degrade in my garage.
IF YOU want to bring your own bags, that’s fine. But, you shouldn’t be required to do it. And there shouldn’t be a tax on it. If that’s the case, then they should go back to paper for free and you have your choice—paper or plastic.
Shows you what a scam it all is.
Where I live, we call it paying 10c for a paper bag, not a tax.
We also believe whales and sea turtles shouldn’t have to die because they’re too stupid to deal with our garbage.
Besides, it’s nice not seeing those plastic bags blowing around, stuck in trees & bushes.
Really? How HARD is it to take a denim bag with you to the store and wash it like a pair of jeans?
I think sundance once wrote something about the effects of sanitizing language to legitimize what is detestable.
You mean like abortion murder being women’s healthcare? Caring for women’s health sounds so good, so altruistic!!!
Thanks. I am going to steal your line about the mask…bill
Read what I wrote before you spout off.
Election WEEK, with days on end of receiving mail in ballots is for only for ONE reason, and that would be cheating.
Eliminating that would INDEED increase election integrity ten fold.
Nowhere did I say it was the ONLY thing that would solve it.
Sorry, you’d have to eliminate ALL forms of voting by mail to be able to restrict the entire election to one day only.
Personally I agree with single day voting AND counting at the polls.
Absentee ballots and mail-in ballots however have traditionally been permitted to arrive at each county’s election HQ over a period of time in advance of Election Day AND be counted in advance of Election Day.
Putting greater restrictions on who can utilize mail in balloting would probably do more to help reduce the fraud, but stipulating that all ballots must be received and counted by Election Day would also help.
However, I don’t believe you’d ever be successful across all 50 states in trying to narrow the entire vote-by-mail counting window to a single day (election day) along with staffing the polling locations. I might be wrong but I think this has been attempted before and was unsuccessful.
Except for the military overseas, right?
Why? I would say No exceptions as far as anything arriving after Election Day.
Theirs should be received by Election Day and counted no later than ON election day.
Their ballots can be sent out 45 to 60 days in advance if they’re overseas.
If anyone has extenuating circumstance wherein they were prevented from receiving and returning their ballot then that can be appealed.
How was it done with military in 1980 or 1990? Anyone know for certain? I know election results were always announced by late the night of Election Day or maybe in the early wee hours right after. And those were final.
I voted absentee in 1970 from SE Asia US Army. I don’t know if it ever counted. Same today in WA State all-mail-in-voting. Or when I was in the second grade and we put our heads down and raised our arm to vote (the teacher told us who one)…bill
Bill, I also was in the Army and out of state in November 1970 but that was a midterm election (Nixon was already in the WH) so I didn’t bother to vote.
I will say it slowlyyyyy then.
Receiving ballots AFTER Election DAY, for a week is only for cheating. Stop this practice and integrity improves immediately.
Which is the whole point and topic of the article.
“Election Day”. Shut down the country, polling at police stations, schools, military installations. All “essentials” can vote at some part of the day. Oversea ballots as usual, whatever that is. Since we shut the country down for a year and a 1/2 for the flu we certainly can shut down for 1 day for voting. NO mail in voting whatsoever, I don’t trust the post office. My plan is not complex.
How about we combine “Presidents Day” and Election Day so there isn’t another national day off??? Especially since it has become for all Presidents instead of just celebrating George Washington!!! I don’t any Democrat Presidents and only a handful of Republican Presidents!!!
Election week? Hell it takes California a month to count their mail in ballots and certify the election! A month!!!
A great weakness in the Constitution is once a State certifies an election there can’t be a challenge! Claims of fraud must be litigated before the certification! When the Courts say no one has standing the evidence can’t even be presented! The Democrats knew this and have used it to protect their fraudulent elections!!! JMO
Our Founders never thought one party could be so corrupt and immoral and the opposition party so weak!!!
Yep, it takes them a month because their printers are so slow it takes that long to print the fake ballots needed to push the democrat over the top.
The opposition party isn’t weak. It’s corrupt and immoral enough to be sure the corrupt and immoral positions are maintained regardless of which party holds power.
WA State is the worse; mail in ballots only…bill
The interesting thing about this case is that the AG from MS who is arguing FOR alllowing post dates arriving ballots is purportedly a rock solid MAGA. Same AG who won the dissolution of Roe v Wade. Did he frame his arguments in a way to tank the case?
Exactly! I don’t understand what the Mississippi AG is doing??? Does he realize that California is counting ballots that mysteriously appear weeks, not days, weeks after election day! 🤔
California law does two insane things that I know about: up to 40 days post-Election Day to certify results; and ballots must be destroyed six months after the election. SMDH.
California also BANNED requiring an ID to vote!!!
I did not GET what the Mississippi AG was doing either. But this post by Sundance is two hours long. From what I watched , the Supreme’s were batting him around as if he was a mouse in the paws of cat.
He is a lawyer arguing his client’s position. That is his job.
If he happens to agree, that is incidental. If he doesn’t agree, you’d better not be able to figure that out from listening to him argue the case.
I thought he made his case fairly well. The worst part of the clip is when he was insisting that you aren’t allowed to recall mail or packages containing a ballot, which appears to be an unwritten rule rather than being explicitly written into the statute or regulation. But I don’t think the case will hinge on that specific point.
When a state law is challenged, it is the duty of the state attorney general to defend it. In rare cases, he might refuse to, but this law is not unique to Mississippi.
Yep .. when one assumes the job … one has to execute within all the requirements of that job … even the distasteful parts.
He brought the case. Maybe he likes the fact pattern to lose it? Or when in front of the SC gave them the reasons to shoot it down.
When a ridiculously bad state law is challenged it’s a good idea to change the law instead of defending it.
A lawyer will argue either side.
Vigorously, I might add.
Everyone has a right to a zealous prosecution and/or defense. Just the way a doctor saves everyone’s life, like them nor not. That is why they are “profressions” and not partisan politics.
Re “they are “profressions”
Maybe, but there are very good reasons engaging in their ‘profession’ is called ‘practicing medicine’…
Personally, I try to avoid them and their practice as much as possible; and that didn’t just start with COVID!
Think Barry Scheck, Founder of The Innocence Project whereby he used DNA evidence to get the wrongly convicted freed from prisons. DNA was new at the time. Go forward a few years and there’s the same Barry Scheck on OJ Simpson’s defense team calling the DNA evidence “junk science”
Maybe the Mississippi Republicans were glad to provide a sitting duck for judicial review. Appears this will be the chance to put a stake in the heart of this demonic ballot fraud vampire.
Don’t hold your breath , I am sure Roberts will find a way to screw it up for us. Remember Health Care is a tax !
Remember Health Care is a tax !
Except when the Anti-Injunction Act might apply,, in which case Roberts would say it was not a tax.
(The AIA requires that a tax be paid, and then the plaintiff sues for a refund, which was not done in the Obamacare case, but Roberts not-a-tax-and-a-tax pretzel logic kept the case in the Court. )
13 years of free K-12 schooling for all illegals is a “tax”.
But….but election month.
This is the United States of America, the most advanced prosperous country in the world. To not be able to hold a one day election is preposterous and embarrassing. Third world countries require identification yet get on done in a few hours. There is only one reason we don’t and it’s not for secure fair elections!
Shameful, isn’t it?
The USA is ABLE to hold a one day election.
The UniParty just doesn’t WANT to hold a one day election.
The “UniParty?” C’mon, man! (as the Cabbage Head would say) Call it like it really is. We have been infiltrated. They are everywhere within our once strong and vibrant Constitutional Republic. They are true blue Communists, or sympathizers of the same. So, of course, they do not want fair and accurate elections.
It’s not that difficult to understand – or to fix (you would think) if it was not for the underlying, yet very strong dark influence.
Or, am I mistaken? And we, as a country, are just a bunch of dumb clucks who have forgotten how to conduct an election in one day, with paper ballots only, and producing final results within hours, NOT days, weeks, and even months. C’mon, man. Figure it out.
I have no doubt they’ll have time to do this before passing voter ID laws.
“House democrats demand that republicans “certify” Biden’s 81 million vote”
Wow! wow! Wow!
The date on that is March 23, 2026!
Could it be that they are VERY worried about nullification of Biden’s presidency!
Wow! Color me hopeful!
Yes, while it seems not very probable, it is also possible. Only time will tell. Keep the faith and remain hopeful.
Likely that … Roberts and selected henchmen + the 3-amigas will go the route of:
Post Mark = date ballot was cast.
Then rule some reasonable amount of time must be allowed for “USPS late delivery”.
We all know how trust worthy those USPS post marks will be … right. //sarc.
Thus this verdict would fix nothing.
Geee … didn’t the USPS just report that post marks may reflect delivery dates and not the actual submission-post dates.
I saw in the news recently an article saying that USPS is sending outbound first class mail to regional distribution centers for postmarking. They started to do this about two years ago and now most post offices send all of it to those centers rather than postmarking it at the local post office. So, if you need your tax return postmarked on Apr 15 and get it into your local post office on that day before the last collection time, it will go to that regional center and be postmarked on Apr 16 or even Apr 17, and it will have that as the date of mailing rather than Apr 15. I suppose you could still go up to the counter and have it postmarked Apr 15 by hand, but the article didn’t talk about that.
Bottom line is that if you want to make sure something is postmarked by a certain date, get it done by hand if you can or get it in the mail two days or more before the date you need it postmarked by. Just wonderful, isn’t it?
I always Instruct the postal clerk to hand-cancel my mail – envelope, package, whatever – if you want/need it postmarked that day, just do that… AND say something nice &/or complimentary to the clerk (and mean it);
there is NO easy job at the Post Office.
Full Stop.
Give it to the clerk. But for tax returns you should always use certified for proof of mailing. I once got an IRS letter claiming I didn’t file and I faxed them the certified receipt and it was all good.
There should be no mail-in ballots at all!
I agree in principle but there are exceptions.
For the military … unless Unit S-1 Personnel Officers/Adjutants could some how run a polling location and then submitted the ballots via some designated route.
[Note: Military Adjutants are also Notaries … so they could certify the ballot completion and submissions.]
However, there will be issues for those unable to physically get to a polling location. Provisions for these folks have always been in place and there were no major issues before the advent of Ballot Harvesting and other illegal Ballot prep/gathering practices were allowed. So, allowances will have to be made.
Those unable to make it to vote is an unacceptable excuse. Remember in the 2020 fraud they had patients at nursing homes who were not mentally cognizant, had dementia et al who the fraudsters had fill out a mail in ballot. If you can’t make it to the voting poll, besides overseas military, then you can’t vote. Allowing a vague reason for mail in ballots opens them to fraud.
Absentee military voting has been going on for decades and was never a problem. I first did that in the 1976 Presidential election. To get an absentee ballot I had to fill out the standard request form and get my company commander to sign it and then mail it to my county elections office. I had to declare an address in the county as my official residence, so at the time I used my parent’s address, the same one I lived at in high school and which was on my state driver license. Then I got the correct ballot from the county in plenty of time to vote and mailed it back in. No problem at all. I believe federal civilian employees and contractors assigned overseas follow a similar process.
But somewhere along the way the law was changed to add expatriates permanently living overseas and dual citizens who have never even lived in the U.S. to let them vote absentee. The problem is that most of them no longer have or never had a stateside residence in a voting precinct in the U.S. Those people, with no stateside address in a voting precinct, should not be able to get an absentee ballot, certainly not one with candidates running for state and local offices, along with bond issues, initiatives, referendums, etc. And, making it even worse, it is turning out to be just another method for people who aren’t even citizens to fraudulently obtain ballots to send in.
I voted more than a few times while in service as well. Our S-1 took care of getting the ballots for us and certifying the ballot.
As for expats .. we voted twice while on an expat assignment for my employer, from overseas. I voted in Federal Election only and the embassy was a big help in both cases.
In my experience in the Navy, a junior officer was assigned collateral duty of “voting assistance officer”. Job was to hand out registration/absentee ballot forms (there’s a standard form all states must accept). But that was it. The ballot came to me in the mail and I mailed it back with no command involvement.
It was considered a problem so Congress passed a law mandating election officials send out military ballots 45 days prior to an election. In Hawaii that meant changing the primary from Sept to Aug to allow enough time for preparing/mailing out the ballots.
Amen. This distorted elections in more ways than one – perfect oppotunity to lie, sheet and steal.
But this now opens the campaign voting season for months now instead of a few weeks before election day. Only Democrats with their heavy public sector union membersupport can afford to campaign for that long.
This southern lady is always at the table with a major role in the play and skin in the game.
Don’t forget, the USPS manipulated the time stamps in previous elections!
The ballots would still have to be received by election day.
In Hawaii we are all mail-in (meaning, everyone in the poll book gets sent a ballot to the address on record, unless they send in an absentee ballot request — then ballot is sent to that address. No one has to “approve” absentee request — it’s automatic). But here the County Clerk (responsible for registration/receiving ballots) must have ballot in-hand by “close of polls” — 7:00 P.M. So they make a last run to the post office just before 7. But for mail-in, when received they are sent through a reader that does signature matching. If the match fails the envelope gets sent to a human for determination. If that flunks they send you mail and you have seven days to cure it (you sign an affidavit). So well after “election day”. Accepted ballots get split from the signature envelope and delivered to the state Office of Elections who is responsible for tabulation.
Ballot harvesting is legal here, as long as you don’t “assist” the voter. There’s a push to have “election parties” where people bring their ballots to some location, fill them out, and the sponsor drops them off later at one of the drop boxes.
The goverment, MSM, and “do-gooders” like the League of Women Voters all use turn-out percentage as the most important metric. They never consider that low turnout may just mean the poll books have lots of phantom registered voters.

I listened to the entire thing and all I can say is Justice Jackson is not too bright and the liberal ladies (Kagan and Sotomayor ) are very bitter angry people
I listened too and I agree.
Spot on. Jackson is not very bright, but intelligence never mattered as she was “socially promoted” through law school and the legal profession because of DEI.
Kagan and Sotomayor know that they are going to be in the minority in most cases, so they can vent all they want in their dissents, but that’s all.
“I guess I’m just confused…” ~Justice KBJ
Jackson will simply vote Obama’s proxy. That’s why she’s in there.
What is it with women in power?
There is only 1 reason to tie election results to an entity — USPS — that has proved over time: 1) its performance gets worse; and 2) unreliable systems & processes are a feature, not an exception.
6-3. The Three Weird Sisters will dissent,
The Three DIS-graces.
5-4 with Weird Sister Chief Justice Roberts dissenting!!! Who knows what ACB will come up with?
I hope they rule that this “mail-in-ballot” crap must stop. Only legitimate absentee ballots can be counted. Here in commiefornia we have mass mail-in-balloting, ballot harvesting, motor voter and to top it off no ID check per state law. That’s the 4 biggest reasons why this state is so screwed up.
My home state of Georgia requires photo-ID. But this did not prevent baskets of ballots from being taken out from underneath a table and scanned multiple times … as recorded by surveillance cameras!
This also did not prevent either the State or the Feds from declining to do anything about it.
No charges were ever filed. However, they tried their damndest to put Trump in prison for raising an objection.
Likewise Maricopa County, Arizona. They spent a lot of money on an audit, and proved fraud. But, once again, nothing was actually done.
Exactly. Ballots need to be printed with a unique number, just like each check from our checkbook has a different number. Otherwise, a generic ballot can be scanned continuously, just like they did in Georgia.
Georgia “discovered” thousands of mail-in ballots for Biden in Atlanta that were never folded! How is that possible?
That’s what Florida does – or at least that was the case when I was a poll worker. Each ballot had a unique sequential number.
Both of those obvious frauds are now finally under investigation.
We shall, as always, see.
40-YR IT PROFESSIONAL: VOTING MACHINES ARE “EASILY” HACKABLE, VOTE FLIPPING, ETC.
[…“I have evidence right here, that I was hoping to show you, that can show that there are absolutely, and I know you guys have heard this, but I’ve got the proof right here, backdoors built-in to electronic voting systems that allow flipping, changing of votes. The testing labs all missed this. Then they’re blindly certified. Then we’re told that everything is safe and secure. It’s absolutely not.”
Mysteriously, according to the timestamp shown in the top right corner, Cook’s public comment at one point goes from 1:02:18 to 1:02:29 instantly. A cut in the testimony appears to have been made to his public comment.
Fortunately, Cook’s public comment was also recorded. The following statement in bold was removed from Cook’s public comment:
“I have evidence right here, that I was hoping to show you, that can show that there are absolutely, and I know you guys have heard this, but I’ve got the proof right here, backdoors built-in to electronic voting systems that allow flipping, changing of votes, INFILTRATING THE SYSTEM, ALL BUILT IN, SET UP IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT EASY, AND UNTRACEABLE. I CAN DEMONSTRATE THIS TO YOU EVEN WHILE I’M STILL HERE IN THIS BUILDING AND I’M HAPPY TO DO SO. The testing labs all missed this. Then they’re blindly certified. Then we’re told that everything is safe and secure. It’s absolutely not.”
…These backdoors are not necessarily a new discovery. In Georgia, it was discovered that the encryption keys were displayed in plain text in the software. Phil Davis, another IT expert who previously testified before the Georgia State Election Board, discovered the password in an open records request written in plain text format.
The Gateway Pundit previously mentioned this discovery while reporting on the voluntary seizure of Dominion Voting machines in Puerto Rico following critical issues in the June 2024 primary election.
For example, Dominion Voting Systems were found to have their login passwords hardcoded in plain text on the software. Georgians made t-shirts with “dvscorp08!”. The User login “SAdmin” was available as well. This was initially uncovered by Cyber Ninjas during their Maricopa County audit in 2021 and was later discovered in four Georgia counties and two other states by Philip Davis.
In 2007, the California Secretary of State withdrew approval of Sequoia Voting Systems for the same issue: hardcoded passwords in plain text within the software…]

Exactly! Anything can be hacked!
When switching votes, apportioning single votes, and subjectively rejecting ballots are all configuration options in the machine’s software – no hacking is required.

“Justice Alito just dropped the hammer on America’s need to restore ELECTION DAY. “We have lots of phrases that involve two words, the last of which, the second of which is DAY. Labor Day, Memorial Day, George Washington’s birthday, Independence Day, birth Day, and Election Day!”” https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/2036109208806900068
Florida has one of the biggest populations in the US. Yet it had all of the votes counted by 10 pm on election “Day”. If it can do it, they all can.
Fourteen states and Washington, D.C. allow mail-in presidential ballots to be counted if they arrive after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked on or before Election Day.
Some states have specific deadlines for receipt:
• California, Mississippi, and Nevada require ballots to arrive within a few days after the election.
• Illinois allows up to 14 days after the election for ballots to be received.
• Washington has one of the longest grace periods, allowing ballots to arrive up to 21 days after the election.
Eleven of those 14 states are blue states, the red states being MS, TX, and WV.
With 36 states having no late arriving ballots due to postmarks, it seems if the SCOTUS was on the ball in this case that it would rule those 14 states can unjustly determine the outcome of a presidential election by allowing ballots received after election day, to the detriment of the 36 other states.
Congress established a uniform Election Day for presidential elections in 1845 through the Presidential Election Day Act, which set the date as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This law standardized the election date across all states, ensuring that all presidential electors are appointed on the same day. Prior to this, states could hold elections at different times within a 34-day window before the Electoral College met, leading to concerns about influence and fraud. The law has remained in effect since 1848, and the date is now codified in federal statute (3 U.S.C. § 1). Congress also uses its constitutional authority under Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 to set the uniform day for electors to vote, ensuring consistency nationwide.
Congress extended the uniform election day to House of Representatives elections, scheduling them for “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November” starting in 1876. This aligned federal elections under a single national date.
So it will be interesting to see how the SCOTUS squares the language in the law mandating “that all presidential electors are appointed on the same day”, when in fact there are states holding up their counts for many days following election day, waiting for additional mailed ballots postmarked on election day. We had a post office back in the days before the Presidential Election Day Act was passed, yet there is no evidence that vote tallies were held up waiting for mail-in ballots. In fact, I seriously doubt there were any mail-in ballots back then, and certainly not ones waiting for days or weeks to see a postmark. Widespread civilian use of mail-in ballots only began in the late 20th century.
California continues to “find” ballots weeks after election day and 99% are for the Democrat candidate!
A Democrat judge always orders that they are counted!
Btw, Florida uses a combination of optical scan systems and Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) machines, including Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs), across its counties. Most voters use the optical scan system, where they fill in bubbles or boxes on a paper ballot, which is then scanned and tabulated electronically. This method produces a paper record of each vote, allowing for audits and recounts.
Yet with all those paper ballots, the state can complete its count within a few hours of the polls closing.
Election Fraud requires mail-in ballots to be counted
after Election Day. Election Fraud criminals need to
know how many phony mail-in ballots are needed to
win an election.
This is why each precinct should be prohibited from releasing or leaking election results until every precinct involved in the election is ready to turn in certified results. For a presidential election this would require waiting for every precinct in the nation’s results have been certified. No release or leaks with stiff penalties for the 2 people in each precinct that are allowed to know the final result.
Democrat elites know they can’t win an election without cheating. The cheating happens on a massive scale our big cities where truckloads of phony ballots suddenly are “found” days after the votes are already tallied. Dems are universally against requiring all votes to be tallied on election day because they need those extra days after the election in order to know how much they have to cheat to win.
I was an election judge in Maryland, one of the bluest states with one of the most corrupt election boards in the country, where mail-in ballots that I never requested are often sent to me two or three times. These ballots do not require valid IDs so I won’t use them and instead I vote in person.
I am no longer a judge but whenever I vote I always show the judges two forms of ID, and those judges will often tell me they aren’t allowed to look at my ID…and I tell them they don’t know the law…Maryland law requires that judges examine the voter’s ID IF the voter insists on showing it! And I always insist!
If SCOTUS disallows vote counting after election day, (as they should), Republicans still won’t win many elections in Maryland.
But it’s a helluva good start!
In blueMA I employ another use for a mail-in ballot.
I requested one starting two years back and now I get one automatically.
The reason is that, in blueMA, information about the local candidates is very hard to dig up before the election. The town is supposed to post a list but never does. And none of the campaign literature anywhere lists the party affiliation of any candidate. (They clearly don’t want anyone to notice it’s wall to wall Dims.)
I open the mail-in beforehand to see who is really running so I can learn whatever’s possible about them.
Then I take it to the polls with me, hand it to the staff, watch it being hand-destroyed, and get a regular ballot to use that day.
Any more guessing on the STOUS vote results are like guessing the answers on family feud.
This was exactly how the Dems STOLE the 2020 PA Presidential election, and its 19 electoral college votes. Mail-in ballots were counted that were received well after the statutory deadline, using the “Covid” excuse.
It was reported in testimony that two tractor trailers left the Bethpage Post Office in the wee hours of the election and went to PA. At least one went to Philly. They are reported to have contained over 300,000 mail in ballots.
The joke of it was that 300,000 Pennsylvanians all decided to take a vacation to Long Island in November around Election Day.
We all know no matter what the law says leftists will be breaking it.
Election law enforcement should be the highest priority.
🇺🇸🦅💥
Even if SCOTUS does the right thing, blue states will continue to do what they can to cheat.
There will still need to be enforcement at the state and local level to do something about undeliverable ballots to vacant parking lots and storage facilities.
Those ballots end up in the hands of democrat criminals who cast those “votes”.
SCOTUS has zero power over that.
Mail-in ballots is a very insecure Voting System.
That’s what Jimmah Carter said.
Voting has gone beyond ridiculous. They have made it so convoluted with everyone needing special provisions so they can vote.
Simplify it for gosh sack, open the polls three or four before ‘Election Day’ and allow absentee and mail-in ballots for those out of country and those unable to physically get to a polling station. (NO, ballots received after the ‘Election Day’ can be counted.)
If a person’s ballot is not counted that is on them, did not get their butts off the couch and go vote or did not mail it in on time missed the deadline, its their fault not societies. A lot of people need to take responsibility for their own dam lives.
And stop with we have to know who won that night. The whole thing has got STUPID.
The democrats have completely normalized election cheating to the point we expect them to cheat and do nothing instead there should be a full country rebellion against them. How many elections where the republican is up only to have the democrats find a box full of ballots in someone’s trunk?
For 100 years we’ve had voting by mail. “That’s the way we’ve always done it” is not a valid argument. Election day only, paper ballots, no voting for Enricke’ Emanuel Hosea Garcia Velasquez or any other paid Democrat operative that wasn’t born here.
Except that we’ve only had voting by mail in some states for less than 50 years, most of the ones who allow it only since the beginning of this century.
From the comments that I have read, it sounds like the Dred Pirate Roberts and ACB were trying to play both sides against the middle in a desperate attempt to find some convoluted way to ignore the Constitution, simply because of their pathetic need to be LIKED by the cocktail party/cucumber sandwich circuit in DC!
I am inclinded to think their motives are much different than the cocktail circuit.
When the Saxon Began to Hate, Kippling, as oftern posted by our noble host.
Rise up.

Rise up
Gun up……..spotter up…….. 5-4-3-2-………
I got the same impression. I anticipate the outcome will be 4-5, with these two joining the libs.
ACB was a one-trick pony, confirmed to overturn RvW. Roberts is a more transparent fraud.
That is my fear as well – ACB is an AWFL who never should have been given the job and someone needs to start exposing ALL of the many skeletons that live in Roberts’ closet so that he will be forced to resign in disgrace!
“Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud,” stated the 2005 report by a commission co-chaired by Carter and James Baker III, former President George H. W. Bush’s secretary of state.
SCROTUS had an opportunity to address this IN 2020 WHEN THE PA SUPREME COURT WENT ROGUE AND RULED IN FAVOR OF LATE BALLOTS… and Traitor Kavanaugh punted… and got read the Riot Act by Thomas.
And here we are, 5 years and 4 months later… still talking about…
Of course late mail-in ballots are not valid.
It’s Elementary my dear Watson!
I don’t get it.
If the USSC says no day-after ballots will count why can’t they say no day-before ballots can count?
S’not fair! How are the Democrats supposed to know how many mail in ballots they need if they can’t wait until AFTER the count is over?
The women on the SC are a BLOOMING DISGRACE
ALL OF THEM
Like I said earlier in the feed. What is it with women that hold power?
The SC passes the ball to Congress, RINOs vote with Dems, Congress goes on vacation, the President sues, the lower courts punts to the SC, and on and on. It’s become a useless system.
Let’s start by voting out the RINOs and forcing the retirement of Roberts. There has to be plenty of dirt on Roberts.
SORRY JOHNNY… ROBERTS NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED!!
Well I made it to 1:45 in, after Clement drove home the historical precedent of voting and knowing who won on the same day. That the citizenry believed the results were valid through history until recently. Then KGB 😬started flapping her gums about nonsense, how great recent elections have been. Ignoring the fact that we the people no longer trust elections! I ended it there. Ginsburg died and they dug deep to find the dumbest dei on the planet to replace her. Don’t tell me she didn’t pay someone to pass the bar for her!
I have been a ‘mail in voter’ for the past 29 years. I get my ballot at the end of September. There is no reason for my ballot to be returned after Election Day.
Y’all should be aware of recent USPS rule changes regarding when mail is postmarked. Items are postmarked when they are rec’d at the first automatic processing center the reach, NOT the local post office unless you go in person and request it. A big deal for
predominantly rural areas.
Guess which color the states are that are most affected?
Alito pretty much summed it up. There is Christmas Day, Easter Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, along with Voting Day, notice there is day behind each of these. I would love Christmas until I want it to stop or Memorial Day to last all summer. These stupid libuturds steal everything they can but they can’t steal our language. Day is not month or until desired results are counted.
The Mississippi solicitor general didn’t know election law space or argumentation. I know less about the topic from listening to him.
That ruling would be a start…
Looking at that photo one thing comes to mind: no wonder we are in trouble. Of all of them, two – maybe three – are worth keeping. The rest is trash. Please Lord help us.
I strongly doubt that Roberts or Coney-Barrett will give MAGA a win. Even if they do, it won’t matter. The blue states and enclaves will simply have the batches of fraudulent ballots with the postmarks put on by friendly USPS operatives secreted within or close to the counting centres beforehand instead of “finding” them later. The SAVE act is a waste of time as well. The blues flout federal law on immigration, Title IX and DEI all the time. Voter ID requirements would be ignored as well.
USPS put together an entire dept./division for processing and servicing the democratic party mail-in ballot fraud operation.
If SCOTUS rules against post Election Day ballot counting they will end the ballot harvesting for federal elections. States will never comply for state elections.
