‘Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote’: Trump-appointed panel on Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rules that ballots must be received by Election Day

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday evening ruled that a Mississippi state law allowing ballots to be received and counted after Election Day is in violation of federal law, in what could amount to a last-minute rule change for the upcoming general election.

Good. If they're going to insist on mail-in voting, the ballots should be there on Election Day to prevent ballot box stuffing. It's not like this shit snuck up on anybody, so there's no excuse for not mailing it off in a timely manner.

    Dems have to know how many votes they'll need after election day to assure "victory" by counting the "votes" they got after election day.....Good old "democracy" in action....

  2. We all live in hope, but we must recognize the reality of the weak link in the constitutional process of voting chain. That's the thousands of progressive judges in a corrupt legal system.

  3. Turned in my absentee ballot the second day of early voting (I'm pretty old and have to pee a lot). I noticed signs saying to have your photo ID ready. I didn't read the small print but we had to get the secure drivers' licenses with proof of citizenship and residence years ago. How is Georgia getting away with this?

    1. Your drivers license or state issued ID is your photo ID. Like you, I voted by absentee ballot this year, but in the past I produced my drivers license and that was all that was needed. You need a documented proof of citizenship in order to receive the "Real ID" when registering to vote.

    2. Residency too. I had to show my birth certificate as well as 2 pieces of non-junk mail to get mine. If you're female and married, you have to show a marriage certificate to prove the name change.

  4. Nevada Supreme Court ruled undated ballots can be counted up to 3 days past election day. Nevada was a far better state when the mob ran the casinos and Paul Laxalt was guv/senator.

  5. IMHO.. early in person voting with valid I.D. should end 48 hours before the polls open. mail in ballots received less than 72 hours before the polls open should not be counted. all early and mail in votes should be counted before the polls open, but the tally should not be disclosed.
    all polls should tally votes locally and hourly, and a final tally should be required not more than 4 hours after the polls close. mass gathering and counting after poll closing should not be allowed.
