This is a hint of what you will get with a right wing SCOTUS. Kavanaugh has expressed sympathy to a legal theory that ballots should stop being counted on the stroke of midnight on election day..even though they were received on time. Employees coming in to work on the 4th to continue counting ballots will not be allowed to if these right wingers have their way..
Brett Kavanaugh Just Endorsed A Radical Legal Theory That Could Cause Election Chaos
The Bart O'Kavanaugh opinion in this case is stunning. It reads like shit Trump says. He actually said this - REALLY?
“For important reasons, most States, including Wisconsin, require absentee ballots to be received by election day, not just mailed by election day,” Kavanaugh writes. “Those States want to avoid the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of an election. And those States also want to be able to definitively announce the results of the election on election night, or as soon as possible thereafter. Moreover, particularly in a Presidential election, counting all the votes quickly can help the State promptly resolve any disputes, address any need for recounts, and begin the process of canvassing and certifying the election results in an expeditious manner.”
Earth to Bart. The election is over when every legal legal vote is counted. That might take up to three weeks. "Flip the result"? Too much beer Bart. This sets the stage for what most Americans fear. A second Rump term by COUP. Sad
