Justice Kagan blocks effort to stop Montana from mailing ballots to all voters

 

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan (Appointed by: Barack Obama) denied a request from Republicans to stop Montana Gov. Steve Bullock’s (D) plan to mail ballots to all registered voters.

 

Kagan, who has jurisdiction over the case based on geography, denied the request without referring the case to the full court.

 

The suit was brought by Joe Lamm of the Ravali County Republican Central Committee and other voters.

 

The GOP-dominated Legislature banned mail-in ballots for general elections, instead allowing only by-request, no-excuse-required “absentee ballots” and in-person voting compatible with Phase 2 safety restrictions in the governor’s COVID-19 reope

Wisconsin blocked from accepting mail-in ballots after Election Day

Democrats will likely appeal the decision.

 

A federal appeals court in Wisconsin overruled a lower court's decision to extend the deadline for counting absentee ballots by six days, doling out a win to the state's GOP-led Legislature, which fought hard against the rule change.

 

Sparring over an extended deadline for counting mail-in ballots has been ongoing, with Democrats arguing that an additional week is essential to ensure all absentee ballots are counted in what will likely be a highly competitive presidential election.

 

Without the extra time, which would allow ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 but that arrive as late as Nov. 9 to be counted, Democrats say some ballots may not arrive before the deadline, disenfranchising voters.

 

If the appeals decision stands, all ballots would need to be collected at the clerk's office by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

We don't seem to be doing so well with those mail in ballots. 2 loses to 1 win (so far)

Oh knock it off with clown show hearing. Just vote her in. The Republican Senators have the votes.

 

>Only a majority. Republicans control the Senate by a 53-47 margin, meaning they could lose up to three votes and still confirm a justice, if Vice President Mike Pence were to break a 50-50 tie.

 

>Supreme Court nominations used to need 60 votes for confirmation if any senator objected, but McConnell changed Senate rules in 2017 to allow the confirmation of justices with 51 votes. He did so as Democrats threatened to filibuster Trump’s first nominee, Justice Neil Gorsuch.

En masse deadly fighting on both sides.

 

And all of this is diverting our attention from fighting for Trump's re-election. That's all we should be concerned about. Let /pol/ handle the other crap.
