Will they prosecute the voters or is their votes being vetoed by the government enough punishment?
Attempted election tampering.
I don't know if the SCOTUS could offer that kind of relief.
I imagine they'd only say you have to change your law.
This is the filing that is on the docket for 12/8 - It outlines the case starting on Page 2 - Introduction:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20A98/162573/20201203162739451_Final_Emergency%20Application%20for%20Writ%20of%20Injunction.pdf
How does the health emergency play into this? Do the states not have power to do out of the ordinary things?
They do, as long as they have a public health emergency declared.
Or state of emergency.
States are the boss of states.
Unless you are messing with a federal law
@Steeler26, you just advanced to level 3!
Yeah, unless you're being unconstitutional.
Yup
Which Act 77 is.
@Zuluzeit a Voter may submit a Ballot that is in violation of the Law. That does not necessarily mean they have Criminal Liability.... Ie. Not signing their Absentee Ballot. Not a Crime, However still an Illegal Ballot.
Or what changes were inflicted on 77.
But if someone wanted to break chain of custody, could they do it without someone knowing for certain? Again not to implicate it happened on a massive scale.
What about states where marijuana legal
They're not following federal law
Just playin devil's advocate here
At the marijuana example the federal government cut off banking but what can they do?
Right. It's referencing the 14th amendment where you find the equal protections clause
Does federal law even define marijuana possession's legality?
@busillis States do not have the authority to enforce Federal Law.
@William Dinan, you just advanced to level 11!
That seems outside the scope of federal law.
Ballots crossing state lines?
That’s a problem
@Steeler26 The military is a problem?
Interstate versus intrastate
Do they even need to hold elections to determine the will of their people? Seems like a lot of unnecessary work, if you can throw votes away based on a technicality...kinda like court cases.
@Maw a Federal Question has to come into play. Ie. Interstate Commerce.
What about military?
@Steeler26 The military sends ballots across the ocean, and between states.
Wow NORML. That's been around since I was in high school.
I haven't a lot they got to keep that other green rolling in...
First that came up to Google search
One could argue using the mail in general is also a federal issue.
That's true
