I predict votes that come in after today will not count.

Sound like it will end up in the SC. Good thing Trump put 3 justices on the court.

Why wouldn't they?

If the state law says they can, then why would a court rule against it? Why would Constitutional "originalists" overturn such laws?

Laws vary from state to state, and that's fine...

Personally, I think the best way, if it can be enforced well, is that ballots have to be postmarked on Election Day. That just makes the most sense to me. I wouldn't make people who want to vote by mail vote earlier than everyone else.

I agree with that and so do most states. How Pennsylvania handles it's voting is not a constitutionally reviewable case. It's none of SCOTUS's business. That's why they refused to hear the Pennsylvania case brought by Republicans.
States' rights are constitutionally enshrined. Barret isn't going to help anyone.

I'm wondering about the legal argument.

What would be the Constitutional basis to overturn such laws?

congressional statute dictates when "election day" is held
Nov 3, 2020, 1:08 PM
|

and its been the law since 1845. prior to that, there was chaos as to when the election was held.
When is a vote held? when it is mailed? when it is bubbled in? when it is post marked? when it is received? when it is counted? I suspect we'll find out what Justice Barrett thinks soon enough

The need for standard day was probably borne from,
Nov 3, 2020, 1:14 PM

or at least accelerated by, the development of mass communication technology that could let people far away know what is happening.
I know it's a matter of opinion, but as long as the votes have to be cast, (decided, not able to be changed) prior to results being known, that seems fair, even if the cast votes are not in the hands of vote counters immediately.

I predict that Trump and the GOP will do everything they can to throw out votes.
If an eligle voter, complied with the rules, they're vote should count.
Virtually every attempt by the GOP asking courts to throw out ballots had been thrown out by the courts.

Certainly you can't throw out votes that were cast
Nov 3, 2020, 1:17 PM

according to the law when they were cast. That would be reprehensible. Maybe there can be work done to improve laws next year, if the currently laws aren't good enough.

Certainly one can try to argue that there are ballots
Nov 3, 2020, 1:20 PM

that were not cast properly by law. That's one thing.
But there can be no legal argument for throwing out votes that were cast legally, even if you don't like the law.

If you don't think that the dem. will wait and see what the totals are today and tomorrow and try to get more votes in so Biden can win then you are not paying attention. Biden and his people are say there is no way trump can be call the winner tonight or tomorrow. What is up with that, my guess is they will try to get enough votes after today to win. That is just a guess.

What websites do you get your news from?

Trump can't just declare himself the winner before absentee ballots are counted. That is the topic of discussion. Absentee and mail-in ballots get counted last in many states. This happens every year.
Stop with the conspiracies.

People don't pay attention we all know that or Creepy Joe and Camel Toe would not get any votes @ all.
