North Carolina Republicans Ask the Supreme Court to Allow the State to Count Fewer Votes

Trump’s Lawyers Want Trump’s Judges to Limit Voting
Trump was adamant that he wouldn’t sign a bill that helped expand voting.
“The things they had in there were crazy,” Trump said.
“They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”
In more than 300 voting cases nationally, they’ve either filed suit to strike election rules that encourage higher voter turnout, or opposed lawsuits from voting rights advocates that would expand voting.
Leaders of some large corporations like
Blackstone and Charles Schwab (anti-democratic fascist Capitalists) are bankrolling the legal fight
to keep people from voting, and some of the cases are being heard by judges that were appointed by Trump and confirmed by a Republican Senate
The central theme: claims, without evidence, that widely used mail-in voting would lead to massive voter fraud.
Independent reviews of past voter fraud by mail, including in five states that already vote almost exclusively that way, have found the crime to be incredibly rare, including less than 0.0009% of votes
“When pressed during the hearing in this matter, the
Plaintiffs were compelled to concede that they cannot point to a single instance of voter fraud in Montana in any election during the last 20 years,”
“The Trump campaign and Republicans have lost every claim so far where they have tried to argue that a measure to allow for easier voting during the pandemic is uncons utional because it would facilitate voter fraud,”
“Both Democratic and Republican appointed judges have found that the Trump claim did not present any reliable evidence of a large problem with fraud.”

Sick Texans seeking late absentee ballots still need a doctor’s note, Texas appeals court rules
A state district court judge had ruled against the longstanding requirement for a doctor's note to ask for an emergency absentee ballot,
saying many people who test positive for the coronavirus don’t interact with a physician.

So make an appointment, pay copay, so you can get mail-in ballot (maybe).
confusing rules means thousands of ballots will be thrown out
https://theintercept.com/2020/10/21/...allots-voting/On October 5, the first day of early voting in South Carolina, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a rule requiring state voters to have a witness sign their ballot; the long-standing rule was temporarily suspended during the February primary, as local judges found it put an undue burden on voters unable to have someone sign their ballot during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Two days later on October 7, the State Election Commission voted to bar election officials from ballot curing, the process of notifying voters of issues with ballots received without a witness signature. The decisions combined mean that any ballot received after October 7 without a witness signature won’t be counted, nor will voters be given the chance to fix the omission before election officials begin counting ballots on the morning of November 3, Election Day.
leave it to a socialist to point out the obvious, NY's political machine disenfranchises people too.
They should pass a new voting rights act that just applies to and sets standards for all 50 states. That takes care of the cons utionality issue Roberts used in his ruling and AOC is dead on that it’s not just red states in the south that pull this crap.
AOC is also on point that unintentional voter suppression shouldn’t be given a pass. New York was grossly unprepared for this election and it’s showing in a big way.

Expected storyline
Going to be a long week ahead
It's all over but the cryin, tbh.
There's not much apart from the live boy/dead girl scenario -- sudden death? stroking out on-air? -- that would move the needle for either side. Voter mobilzation and the weather matter more than whistle stop campaign rallies, bombs scandals and op-eds between now and election day.

Fair take
the Texas GOP has gotten so desperate its now asking the court to reject ballots that have already been cast and processed
Trump preventing votes from being counted.seems to be his main path to victory.
Fraud works both ways. The biggest voter fraud I can recall happened in a certain MN scam Senate election of a comedian who as justice played out was so creepy even his own party turned on him.
