Edit
The National Ballot Security Task Force (BSTF) was a controversial group founded in 1981 in New Jersey, United States by the Republican National Committee (RNC) as a means of intimidating voters and discouraging voter turnout among likely Democratic voters in the gubernatorial election. The group's activities prompted the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to bring a federal lawsuit, alleging a violation of the Voting Rights Act, illegal harassment, and voter intimidation. The RNC and New Jersey Republican State Committee entered into a consent decree in 1982, barring them from engaging in further such conduct. The RNC unsuccessfully tried to lift the consent decree several times over the next 25 years; these attempts were rejected by the federal courts each time. However, in 2009, the US District Court of New Jersey agreed to several modifications of the consent decree, including the addition of an expiration date.[1] That date was set for December 1, 2017. Democrats sought an extension of the consent decree based on allegations of new conduct, but the request was denied in January 2018 and the decree expired.[2]

1982 lawsuit and consent decree
Edit
A civil lawsuit was filed after the election by the DNC, which alleged that the RNC had violated the Voting Rights Act[10] and engaged in illegal harassment and voter intimidation.[11] The suit was settled in 1982, when the Republican National Committee and New Jersey Republican State Committee, instead of a trial, signed a consent decree in U.S. District Court saying that they would not allow tactics that could intimidate Democratic voters, though they did not admit any wrongdoing.[10][12][13] The case and ensuing decree were supervised by District Court Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise for the ensuing 34 years.[14]
The consent decree, entered on November 1, 1982,[13] prevented the Republican Party "from engaging in activities that suppress the vote, particularly when it comes to minority voters."[15] It also barred the wearing of armbands at polling places.[15] Under the consent decree "the Republican party organizations agreed to allow a federal court to review proposed 'ballot security' programs, including any proposed voter caging."[13] The consent decree was set to expire in December 2017.[16] A successor consent decree, applying to several states, was entered on July 27, 1987.[13]

Republican attempts to lift consent decree
Edit
Prior to the expiration of the decree in 2018, the Republican Party attempted several times, without success, to have it terminated. They argued that it was "antiquated" and unnecessary.[10] The Democratic National Committee countered by arguing that "recent campaigns show the 'consent degree remains necessary today.'"[10] In 2009, a New Jersey federal judge rejected the RNC's request to vacate the consent decree. This ruling was unanimously affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 2012.[13][17] The Supreme Court declined to hear the RNC's appeal in 2013.[10]

Expiration of consent decree
Edit
See also: 2020 United States Postal Service crisis
The consent decree restricting Republican Party conduct was set to expire on December 1, 2017, but Democrats sought an extension,[19][20] alleging that statements from Donald Trump campaign officials showed the RNC had engaged in activities in violation of the decree.[20] U.S. District Judge John Michael Vazquez allowed the Democratic Party to take the deposition of Sean Spicer before issuing a decision on whether the decree should be allowed to expire, but denied Democrats' motions for hearings on the issue.[20] On January 8, Judge John Vasquez ruled that the decree had expired on December 1, and would not be extended.[2]
The 2020 presidential election was the first presidential election since 1980 in which the Republican Party was able to deploy "ballot security operations". In 2019 Justin R. Clark, an official in Trump's re-election campaign, was recorded telling Republican lawyers that the expiration of the consent decree was a "huge, huge, huge, huge deal" for the campaign's election day operations in Wisconsin.[21] In March 2020 the RNC announced plans to mobilize 50,000 poll watchers to swing states, while Trump described plans to mobilise law enforcement as poll watchers, and the True the Vote group sought to recruit police officers and military veterans. The political scientist Kenneth Mayer of the University of Wisconsin–Madison argued in August 2020 that the lifting of the consent decree raised the prospect of a return to practices of voter intimidation, while Justin Levitt of Loyola Law School argued that the RNC was unlikely to have the capacity to mobilize such numbers.[22][23] In October 2020 the Trump campaign said it had enlisted more than 50,000 volunteer poll watchers in swing states.[24] In a September 2020 opinion column, Florio likened Trump's rhetoric to the use of voter intimidation in the 1981 campaign.[25]

There you go
A very quick showing of the USA court documented proof that the Republican Party has cheated in elections since Nixon
They were kept on that consent decree for repeated cheating throughout those decades
They just got off it
Now they will be put on a new one for their last elections shenanigans

It isn't a genetic fallacy. During the Trump administration I started keeping a lose running score on judges ruling against him and being overturned. Obama appointed judges were overruled on appeal nearly 90% of the time. If you look at the 9th Circuit Court, the most overruled in the US it's almost entirely Democrat judges that face that.
So, there's good justification for me to speculate that in this case the ruling was political not based on law or legal reasoning.
