That's what courts do.

They've been doing this why get upset about it now?

In third world countries

No, that's actually not what they're supposed to do.

Not in America.

Still can't throw away millions of good faith American votes. It's not about what Trump deserves.

BTW - they did it in Texas, too... https://discordapp.com/channels/760945067107680286/771201221145919499/793934128624959530

So the courts are rewriting legislation from the bench?

True.

If you're straight up changing dates set by the legislature, then that's a clear violation of the electors clause

In this case it appears so in one case at least.

Okay well it's no better when they do it

Well that's not right...

@Zuluzeit Some. If it’s not too much trouble, would you please direct my attention to a good explanation from a reliable source?

I thought you were talking about rulings on legislation that set precedent @Maw .

E.g: The legislation said no more ballots after arriving after Nov. 4th, despite having postmarks before nov 4th, the SC extended the deadline 1 week to accept pre-4th postmarked ballots.

I think Pennsylvania knows that. If you look at the election results and their website it says it does not include balance cast after 8:00 p.m. on election day. So even if a court were to throw out those extra ballots that came in after election day it wouldn't change the end result.

They put those ballots to the side since the ruling was so controversial. (And didn't tally them)

But it's not... All they did was attempt to extend the date that mail-in ballots could be received by 3 days - they still had to be postmarked by 11/3. Part of the justification for this is that Military ballots are given 10 days to be received (as long as they are postmarked by election day). It was an equal protection argument given the concerns about mail delivery issues and the increased mail-in voting due to the pandemic.

Lifeline

They did not need any postmarks at all

????

Protests, looting, burning and violence magically stopped because they won the political war.
No need to fund them anymore if they served their purpose.

Again we're talking 10,000 votes out of an 80, 000 spread so it's not going to change the election one way or the other.

Excuse the source it's the first one I found:https://dailycaller.com/2020/10/19/supreme-court-pennsylvania-mail-in-ballot-postmarked/

Noted... It's funny. The typical response is "how do we know they set them aside? They just snuck them in." Not realizing that cast ballot counts were determined on 11/3.

Huh, don't remember that part, and I read the entire thing.

Either way, the ones that arrived post-Nov. 4th weren't even counted IIRC.

They were stacked into a corner.

Because the ruling was so fresh.

@Lorinda Depends on which claim. There are a good handful of them. Lol.

It should be said that I am here because this is a ground zero, absolute clinic regarding the war on epistemology. How people figure they 'know' the things they know is of great interest to me. The outcome of the election and fraud and whatnot are only on my radar because that's the context in which this particular system operates.

So said the people who are party to the dispute

Ah yes, it's just a part of some diabolical scheme to implement communism, I forgot.

Anyway Pennsylvania election was garbage. Happy New year

Oh ffs commies again. Forgot.

Ha

I just read the PA SC ruling and they do not say that any ballot received within 3 days would be counted. Instead, it says that if the ballot was received without a postmark or the postmark was illegible, they should assume it was mailed in time - assuming it was a vote cast by a legal voter. If it is postmarked after election day, it would be rejected.

Another case of misleading news coverage.

Driving home. Bbl.

@Zuluzeit Ok! Thank you for your honesty. I’m here wanting to hear opposing points of view to determine if what I believe is true is the truth.

Things have quickly devolved....
