Supreme Court allows North Carolina to accept ballots up to nine days after election

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that North Carolina can receive and count ballots that officials receive up to nine days after Election Day.

The State Board of Elections said in September that it would move the deadline for accepting ballots back from Nov. 3 to Nov. 12. Ballots still must be mailed by Tuesday in order to be counted, but the extension relaxes concerns that delays from the U.S. Postal Service would lead to ballots going uncounted.

At issue in the North Carolina case was whether the State Board of Elections had the authority to change the deadline without a law passed by the state's Legislature.

Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Clarence Thomas dissented in the 5-3 ruling. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed and sworn in this week, did not take part in the case.

This is nonsensical. It doesn't take 9 days for a ballot to reach it's destiniation after being mailed, especially in a small state like NC.

This is a very disparaging take on the Postal Service that the liberals claim to love so much.

This just opens the door for fraud.

Mighty big of Kavanaugh to hand the left, who treated him so well, such a nice gift.

As for Roberts, he's a putz from top to bottom. I wonder how the decision justifies this.

Any close race will be flipped by Durham County, where the post office will backdate 5000 ballots.
