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.

In Miami, all absentee ballots had to be counted already OR at the supervisor of elections office by 7pm on election night.

The drop-boxes were gone 2 days before the election. If you wanted to vote that way on November 1st or 2nd or 3rd, you had to drive your ass to the municipal building and drop that ballot off.

By the way, there’s never any parking avail in that area either. Lol
