But since the Court ruled it a moot question, this sends a clear signal to the states that they can play loose with their election ‘laws’ in the future. Democrats hear them loud and clear. Republicans would do well to get on board with it or just keep losing elections.

It is the role of the states to determine whether it has violated the state constitution or laws and that includes being able to make revisions in the administration of those laws in crisis situations without requiring additional legislation.

The states should have challenged some of these changes when they occurred rather than waiting six months later and then only challenging them after Trump lost. I know they did challenge them in some situations but the courts ruled the increased mail-in votes caused by the pandemic justified changes in election administration. I think Republican objections to giving people three days longer to vote was less a question of whether the state legislature made the changes than whether they thought it would benefit Democrats.

Our republic may be F*d but hey, the Court cleared the way for NY to take a peak at Trump’s tax returns. So they did accomplish something yesterday. The day wasn’t a total loss.

What a great day for our [banana] republic!

Thomas' dissent was shameful. He showed that he is mired in the conspiracy-think of the Big Lie.

And what's the big deal about the tax returns? Trump always said he'd release them once that endless audit was over.

There is a reason he didn't want anyone to see them. We'll know soon enough.

Since when is it anyone’s authority to see an individual’s tax return ‘just cuz’? Besides, there’s this wonderful invention called the IRS and if they see anything illegal they’ve been to known to prosecute. It’s nothing but a fishing expedition and an extension of the witch hunt.

And it’s a big reason I don’t want Trump to run again. The TDS-driven democrats and Trump haters will never relent. It would be one *faux* distraction after the next if Trump got a second term.

How many ways does the election have to be proven fair before trumpies can understand it? https://www.brennancenter.org/our-wo...ion-was-secure The courts have done their jobs and certified the Biden victory. The reds had 60 court cases and lost them all. Oh, but 61 , that's the one that will change it all.

Maybe you're not aware, but every Presidential candidate in modern history has released their tax returns. Trump promised he would, as well. It's not "just cuz."

What is Trump afraid of?

Trump will probably run again. The party had a chance to move on from him, but they decided to stay down the rabbit hole. He's already done so much damage to the GOP - but he's not done yet.

whether he promised to release or not -they are confidential if Trump chooses to keep them that way
NY is going on a fishing expedition solely by word of the criminal Cohen

Until Trump himself admits it was a lie, which will never happen, they will never believe it was a fair and honest election
