The court's 5-3 ruling means that absentee ballots will be counted only if they are in the hands of municipal clerks by the time polls close on Nov. 3.
The justices determined the courts shouldn't be the ones to decide the election rules amid the coronavirus pandemic that is surging in Wisconsin and across the world.
"The Constitution provides that state legislatures — not federal judges, not state judges, not state governors, not other state officials — bear primary responsibility for setting election rules," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a concurring opinion.
Texas will win.
Then we have to worry about how those 4 state legislatures will vote.
Wisconsin will be tough. Even though Republican majority, weak willed. We need a rally AT THE HOUSES OF THESE REPUBLICAN REPS so they do the right thing.
PA is good i think. Judging by the amicus they filed for Texans. But the others might get pressured to go Biden anyhow.
Isn't it one vote per state when this Texas case wins as nobody will be able to get 270 so its a house vote that we have majority?
The way I see it, either these 4 states elections are voided and no one gets a 270 majority, or SCOTUS tells each of these 4 states' legislatures to appoint their own electors pursuant to Article 2 Section 1 of the CONUS.
