Republicans demand Supreme Court strike down mail-in voting [View all]

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. “It’s 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, ‘It’s not over yet,’ they’re right under any ordinary understanding. As long as ballots are still coming in, the election isn’t 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...........
