This keeps getting misconstrued, and I'm not sure why except that people must not be reading the articles. The judge ruled back in October that late, unpostmarked ballots were not to be counted in the election. This current ruling makes that one permanent. Surprisingly, Virginia did the right thing. (That's not to say there wasn't fuckery and illegality in VA; I am one hundred percent convinced there was and VA went red. But the court did its job.)

The court agreed with Reed’s argument, granting a preliminary injunction that prevented the state from accepting or counting ballots without a postmark. The latest ruling reinforces the earlier injunction, assuring that Virginia will not be able to make similar changes to future elections in the state without adequate changes in current law.
