Biden election rigging in the news

[The Anonymous]

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that absentee ballots in the battleground state of Minnesota must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.

The ruling follows Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon extending the deadline allowing ballots received up to one week after Election Day would be accepted if postmarked on November 3.

“However well-intentioned and appropriate from a policy perspective in the context of a pandemic during a presidential election, it is not the province of a state executive official to re-write the state’s election code, at least as it pertains to selection of presidential electors,” reads the court order.

If you loved the hit 2000 drama Bush v. Gore, then keep your TV sets tuned, as they say. That’s the upshot from two orders Wednesday by the Supreme Court.

The Justices declined—at least for now—to save the ballot deadlines created by Legislatures in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

In doing so, the High Court set the stage for a potential legal opera worse than the Florida recount.

Start with the perplexing result in North Carolina. State law says absentee votes must arrive by Nov. 6.

After a progressive group sued in state court, the North Carolina Board of Elections agreed in a settlement that votes mailed on time would count through Nov. 12.

On the surface, this looks similar to the recent case in Wisconsin, where a federal judge bumped the ballot deadline by six days.

On Monday the Justices voted 5-3 to halt that Wisconsin order.

The North Carolina case in some ways “may be even more egregious,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote Wednesday in a dissent, joined by Justice Samuel Alito. Over the summer, with the pandemic in mind, the state Legislature added funding for election infrastructure and acted to let voters request an absentee ballot online. Lawmakers did not touch the Nov. 6 deadline.

Yet a judge and the Board of Elections “worked together,” Justice Gorsuch said, “to override a carefully tailored legislative response to COVID.”
Justice Clarence Thomas also wanted to halt the deadline extension, making for three votes.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who took the judicial oath on Tuesday, did not participate. Chief Justice John Roberts perhaps preferred to let the state courts, the state board, and the state Legislature work it out.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh presumably sided with the Chief, but the order doesn’t say why.


The Pennsylvania outcome is more ominous.

That state’s Supreme Court, citing a line in the state constitution that elections “shall be free and equal,” kicked the ballot deadline from Nov. 3 to Nov. 6, even for votes without postmarks.

Last week the Justices split 4-4 and declined to halt that ruling, with the Chief swinging to the Court’s liberals.

Days later, the state GOP sought an expedited decision on the merits.

That request was denied Wednesday, again with Justice Barrett on the sidelines.

But the overall appeal is still pending. If needed, it could be “decided under a shortened schedule.”

Think what that means, particularly if it’s a close election, with Pennsylvania as the keystone in the Electoral College.

The Constitution vests state Legislatures with authority over elections. Those provisions “would be meaningless,” Justice Alito wrote, if a state court could seize on a vague provision of the state constitution to “make whatever rules it thought appropriate.”

As Justice Kavanaugh wrote Monday, “state courts do not have a blank check to rewrite state election laws for federal elections.”

A federal judge ruled that South Carolina elections officials must not reject any mail-in ballots due to signature mismatch.

The ruling on Oct. 27 by U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel, an appointee of President Barack Obama, called on the state to review and reprocess ballots that have mismatched signatures that have been rejected or set aside, according to several local news websites.

“Previously, voters who submitted a ballot with a mismatched signature were not notified of the issue nor given an opportunity to fix it before their ballot was tossed out,” the League of Women Voters of South Carolina, the organization that filed the lawsuit, said in a statement.

Any county election boards that want to match signatures have to first go to the court and obtain permission, Gergel said, adding that the officials then have to give voters an opportunity to correct the signature, according to The State newspaper.

The South Carolina Election Commission on Oct. 26 issued a directive to counties to stop matching signatures on absentee ballots. Ten counties—Allendale, Anderson, Clarendon, Georgetown, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Marlboro, Orangeburg, and Spartanburg—were using the procedures, according to the paper.

“If any county board of voter registration and elections … is employing or plans to employ a signature matching procedure, it must stop doing so immediately,” South Carolina’s elections chief Marci Andino wrote, as reported by The State.

“Further, any absentee ballot that, as a result of a signature matching procedure, has been rejected, disqualified or otherwise set aside so that it will not be counted should immediately be included with those absentee ballots that will be counted, assuming that absentee ballot otherwise complies with [the absentee voting portion of state law].”

John Powers, an attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law who was involved in the case, told WMBF News that the ruling is “common sense,” arguing that signature matching is “contrary to South Carolina law.”

“Election officials are not experts at reviewing signatures,” he said.

According to the South Carolina Legislature’s website, an election manager “shall compare the signature on the poll list with the signature on the voter’s driver’s license, registration notification, or other identification and may require further identification of the voter and proof of his right to vote under this title as he considers necessary.” However, the rule doesn’t apply to absentee or mail-in ballots.

South Carolina absentee ballots have to be received by 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 3 to be counted.

It's like they used 2000 as the model for this scheme and amplified it 5x.

bs. Now versus your boogaloo booty boy or proud booty boy domestic riff raff fiction, consider the facts:

Trump is determined to rig this election, defraud voters and thwart the will of the people
Amid Trump's war on mail voting and the post office, we need our living ex-presidents to lead a bipartisan drive to ensure the 2020 election is fair.

We can no longer trust that our federal government will oversee fair elections this November. The repeated statements and actions of the president, his attorney general and leaders in the Republican Party have demonstrated that not only will they seek to cheat to ensure their “victory,” they will do so in multiple ways as part of a massive, systematic effort to defraud the American people and undermine our democracy.

The time has come for those of us who seek to protect and preserve democracy in America to step up. We must commit ourselves to ensuring the results of these elections represent the will of the people. And since we can’t trust the government to protect our elections, that means we must organize independent efforts to do so now. "

Wait until you see how screwed up this election goes due to Democrat fuckery.

It will be at least twice the shitshow of 2000. There's 5 Jeb!s now.

It's funny how the left thinks their voters are too stupid to follow simple instructions on how to vote and mail them in on time. Idiots.
