You are correct. The 20th Amendment says the Elector votes have to be in on January 3rd. By a law that goes back to the beginning of the USA, the Electors must meet in the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, but that law could be changed. It does have to all be done by the 3rd of January... Or else change the Constitution.
Now can you show me any law or part of the Constitution that backs up the claim that all the voting must be done by midnight on election day? In the past, they used to not even start counting until the next morning. I say Kavanaugh has made up this law out of his own mind.
The 20th amendment doesn't mention electors.
Never said it has to be done by midnight. For the same reasons the 20th amendment moved the date of inauguration, the vote CAN BE counted by midnight.
Show me in the 20th amendment where it says elector's votes have to be in on January 3rd.
I never draw a blank, Marty...you?
Disgrace isn’t relevant, Marty.
Decisions by the Supreme Court are final...unless a later Supreme Court decides differently, which is not disgraceful, just a different decision by a different Court.
You may see this with Roe vs. Wade and restrictions by Democrats concerning the Second Amendment which has no restrictions.
It’s 6-3 now, Marty.

You drew a blank with that reply, Earl. What is relevant is the correctness, or not, of what the Court does, and the topic of this thread is what should be the Court's decision, which your argument again evades. The most relevant of the Court's decisions, by the way, is Bush v. Gore which even Sandra Day O'Connor who was part of the ruling majority now says was wrongly decided. The will of the people is always paramount. The court overrides that on technical or pedestrian grounds. and by turning away from long tradition, at its peril and the country's peril.

It's not really an election if you call it before all the votes are counted and it could still go the other way.
In that case it is called a FARCE.
And then you lose the confidence of the public.
