Breitbart News 17 Sep 2020
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s highest court gave the Democratic Party a series of victories Thursday, including one allowing repairs to glitches and gray areas in the battleground state’s fledgling mail-in voting law and another that kicked the Green Party’s presidential candidate off the November ballot.
The state Supreme Court, which has a 5-2 Democratic majority, granted the Democratic Party’s request to order a three-day extension of Pennsylvania’s Election Day deadline to count mailed-in ballots. And it ruled that the Green Party’s candidate for president did not strictly follow procedures for getting on the ballot in November and cannot appear on it.
Ballots that are eligible to be counted must be postmarked by the time polls close and be received by county election boards at 5 p.m. on Nov. 6, three days after the Nov. 3 election. Republicans have opposed changing that deadline.
Most states make Election Day the deadline, but 18 states — about half of which backed President Donald Trump in the 2016 election — have a post-Election Day deadline.
The court’s ruling also authorized the use of satellite election offices and drop boxes by counties.

This is bad news...they now have 3 extra days to find the votes they need to win..
-
This is not right. Not right at all.
-
And the slide continues unabated.
-
Well it is 2020, so, IMHO, we can expect this to go on longer than the 2008 Florida debacle with Roberts deciding.
-
This is bad news...they now have 3 extra days to find the votes they need to win..
Exactly. They want to know the number they need to win by a few hundred votes.
Like in Florida where "finding" thousands of uncounted votes in the trunk of some car after the polls close is considered normal. I seem to remember they did this same thing in Minnesota too, to elect Stuart Smalley.
And for whatever miracle of God, the 'found' votes always are almost entirely Democrat votes, and the Election Commission always allows them to be counted. It is so transparently corrupt that it is stupid. That is why so many people overseas say that the American Election process is just silly. Because it is.

Roberts deciding is a scary thought..why would he side with the Repubs now.. :shrug:

Trump is going to need a HUGE landslide in all the states so they can't cheat...if victory is won by a couple of thousand votes, the rats will find the votes needed.

No, read it again. A mail ballot envelope must be postmarked by the time polls close on election day. So, no more mail ballots can be mailed after election day. Those ballots put in the mail on election day, will be counted (if the paperwork is right).
How is that different? Most states will not accept any mail ballots after the postman delivers the daily mail on election day. This change by Penn., means people can MAIL their ballot on election day. See, no one can vote by mail after election day. The 3 days is to give those mail ballots already in the mail, enough time to get to the election department of every county, if there are some. I doubt anyone will mail their ballot on election day unless their memory is bad and they find their ballot envelope still in the house.
Below see what happens next - it is this: The ballot they mailed on election day must get to the Board that checks mail ballot materials within 3 days of the mailing, which is Nov. 6 at 5 pm.
The official words:
"Ballots that are eligible to be counted must be postmarked by the time polls close and be received by county election boards at 5 p.m. on Nov. 6, three days after the Nov. 3 election."

They have all day to get phony ballots postmarked and in the mail if they think they are behind..

@mystery-ak
There cannot be any fake mail ballots. A ballot that is copied is not like the original, down to the type of paper. Also, every real mail ballot has a number and there is no other ballot with that number. There is a list of real ballot numbers. It is like a polling place. At a polling place, the Judge has the starting number and last number of ballots. There are no two alike.
Every name on these ballot materials is checked to see if this person requested a mail ballot. There is no way to have a mail ballot unless it was requested (except for a few states who sends them to all voters). If there is no request, yet the person mailed a ballot (would have to be a copied ballot and be fake), it would not be counted. This would not be true if the state mails all voters a ballot. However, the number of every ballot is on the ballot and there are no repeated numbers, so an "extra" ballot would be found out.
Also, each Judge signs his/her name on the back of each ballot. No name or incorrect name signed on the back, ballot not counted.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
State Supreme Court in Pennsylvania just affirmed that Ballot harvesting remains illegal. We will be watching that the Democrats do not Ballot Harvest - a felony. In other words, the Republican Party won on the atrocious Ballot Harvesting Scam...
..Importantly, we also won on the Ballot Cure Provision. Waiting for the BIG Federal decisions in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and elsewhere!

(Ballot curing involves sending out a letter and blank affidavit describing the reason the voter's ballot has been rejected and how they can “cure†or remedy the situation.)
-
If the manufacturer of the ballots is a Democrat (very likely) and the Post Office join together (UPS has endorsed Biden), they can make as many ballots as the need. And they will all be legitimate.
Kind of like making counterfeit money with real U.S. Treasury plates, ink, and materials. In that case it is no longer counterfeit money if it is indistinguishable. In that case, you are printing real money.
-
@mystery-ak
Another reason fake mail ballots would be found out:
When a voter gets a mail ballot, he gets two envelopes with the ballot. One is the outer envelope that came in the mail. Inside that envelope is another envelope to be mailed, which holds the actual ballot envelope. Inside that envelope, is the marked ballot.
No one would be able to fake the two envelopes that must be there, which is the outer mailing envelope that holds the actual ballot envelope. Fill ballot out, put it in the ballot envelope, seal it, place it in the outer mail envelope and mail that envelope.
A filled out ballot, real or not, in some kind of envelope, would never be counted. The ballot itself MUST be in its own county envelope and sealed inside a county mailing envelope.

Yup. POTUS has to win beyond the fraud threshold.
This is why it is inexcusable for anyone on our side to not vote vote for the reelection of Donald Trump. Any other action but this is telling the world his or her conscience is okay with turning this country into Venezuela. May God have mercy on their souls.

Proof that elections have consequences.
Unfortunately,I suspect there are few,if any,of us who will live long enough to see the Dims lose control over the northeast or the left coast.

And I have no doubt that if necessary,they can get the same judges to issue and emergency extension.
Remember several years ago when Philly was screaming the Republicans were rigging the ballot boxes because the Dim candidates only got something like 110 percent of the registered votes?

Which is why I say this will be the last election before the "2nd American Revolution" begins.
I ain't happy about it because I do have some understanding of how much suffering innocent Americans will have to go through before it ends,but I honestly don't see any way to avoid it at this point.
Somebody PLEASE prove me wrong on this.

I understand that you believe this to be true,but the truth is there is no such thing as a system that can't be scammed if the scammers are on the inside.
And you can believe with every fiber of your system that this has been in the works for months.

@240B @Victoria33
Believe it with all your heart and soul. The Postmaster General will NOT be in on the scam,but you can bet your Hillary that there are postmasters in the major cities ready to stand by and do anything that needs to be done.
The entire management of the USPS are Affirmative Action hires,or dedicated leftists. I am retired from the USPS,and everybody from station manager up is a leftie,with the exception of the Postmaster General,who is appointed by the sitting president.
I have seen people that literally couldn't read hired to be letter carriers. The post office assigned them to ONE route only with the stipulation they could not be ordered to deliver mail at any other route,and then send them to a special school to help teach them how to recognize the addresses.
I have seen a woman that was about to be fired from her letter carrier position given a station manager position in a different city because she was a lesbian and threatened to sue for sexual orientation charges if she was fired. Her girlfriend,who was already a station manager at a different branch was also given a new job as a station manager in the same new city so the two of them wouldn't be separated.
The ONLY way a minority or a homosexual can get fired from the USPS is if they are caught on-camera stealing mail.
It may have gotten better since I retired in 20 years ago,but if it did,it's the only thing connected to the government that has.
BTW,I do NOT want to give the impression that EVERYBODY in management positions are con-artists or Bolsheviks because most TRY to be very nice people. There ARE enough of the villains working there to sometimes make it seem that way,though.
There are many people in management positions in the USPS all over the country that are good people who sincerely care about getting the mail delivered on time and in good condition,but every day is an uphill battle for them as they try to do a good job while being the middle-men/women between upper-level management and the letter carriers and clerks in their offices.
All this excludes the little rural post offices with only 2 or 3 employees,of course. Not enough money to be made in them to attract the scam artists.

Let us get this straight right now. I am writing this post and will have you on Ignore from now on.
Before you were removed from this board, you and Frank Cannon ganged up on me over and over, wishing I would die because I was old. Frank continually attacked my education/credentials. When I came to TBR, I sent mystery a copy of my credentials so she would know about me.
The last year I advised the Texas Republican Party was 2014, at age 81, due to moving from there to north of Dallas. If I still lived there, I would still be helping our local and state Republican Party. I taught the Texas Election Code to lawyers, election judges and clerks, until 2011, at age 78. My husband, the Republican County Chairman, died that year.
I received a Certificate of Appreciation from the National Republican Committee in 2005, signed by President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
I tell you the above so you will know I had many years with the Republican Party and I did not stop knowing the Texas Election Code. I kept up with the law changes and the latest Texas Election Code book I have is last year’s, 2019. How old is your state’s election code book? You don’t have one? I am not surprised. I am now putting you on Ignore.

I think the thing you are missing is that Pennsylvania is not Texas. I am from PA, and the corruption there is HUGE.
The problem with the corrupt court of PA, and trust me, it is, is that where there is a will to cheat, there is a way. I am 100% certain they can create enough ballots with the proper envelopes printed on the proper paper with people that did not show up to vote in three days to STEAL the election. And I am sure they can back date the equipment at the post office to have the ballot envelope to have the correct date, or print out ballot envelopes with the election day date ahead of time.
I left PA over 11 years ago, now reside in Georgia. I received an Absentee Ballot application from Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago. 11 years of NOT voting in PA and I am still on the voting rolls. They should have purged me from the rolls years ago, but again, that is how rotten PA is. I am sure there are tens of thousands in PA still voting that have been DEAD for a very long time!!!
Texas is a very different state. It is no where near as corrupt as PA, or perhaps not corrupt at all. PA has one of the largest Senate and House populations of all states, and they are highly compensated for what they do. It is not so much their salary as it is their expense account, which is HUGE!!!!
Trump needs to appeal this decision. There is no reason to extend the deadline. NONE!

How Pennsylvania could swing the presidential election to Trump again
Joe Strupp, Asbury Park Press 4 hrs ago
Pennsylvania was among the key states that unexpectedly went for President Donald Trump in 2016. Once again, it has emerged as a top battleground in the 2020 presidential race that could determine the outcome of the presidential election.
Top pollsters contend that the Keystone State, which most polls have former vice president Joe Biden leading at the moment, carries a potential winning margin for either candidate due to its pockets of support for both.
Polling finds that Trump continues to draw strong support from blue collar and rural areas, while Biden's backing is growing among suburban women — many who backed Trump last time — and more urban locations. Each camp has visited the state several times in recent weeks, with plans for more to come.

Suburban women better be prepared to send their sons to die for some war in a God forsaken corner of the world, for there is no war the Dems can avoid. Trump has attempted to end our presence on the ground in these wars started by our globalist cabal of leaders in the past decades.
More Americans will die with Biden, count on it. And taxes will sky rocket with this fool. Jobs being exported to other countries will resume in full force, and more and more people will become dependent on Uncle Sam for survival.
22-40 million illegal invading aliens will become citizens, and one can forget about correcting the many wrongs when it becomes apparent a HUGE mistake was made making Biden POTUS. Once this action is taken, there will not be a Republican as POTUS for decades, if ever.

How is that different? Most states will not accept any mail ballots after the postman delivers the daily mail on election day. This change by Penn., means people can MAIL their ballot on election day. See, no one can vote by mail after election day. The 3 days is to give those mail ballots already in the mail, enough time to get to the election department of every county, if there are some. I doubt anyone will mail their ballot on election day unless their memory is bad and they find their ballot envelope still in the house.
Below see what happens next - it is this: The ballot they mailed on election day must get to the Board that checks mail ballot materials within 3 days of the mailing, which is Nov. 6 at 5 pm.
The official words:
"Ballots that are eligible to be counted must be postmarked by the time polls close and be received by county election boards at 5 p.m. on Nov. 6, three days after the Nov. 3 election."
You don't think the postmarked enevelopes holding the ballots might get strategically separated and tossed after receipt?
-
@jafo2010
You said: "Trump needs to appeal this decision. There is no reason to extend the deadline. NONE!"
They do not have an extra three days to vote - they can send a mail ballot on the last day to vote, not after that. The three days is to give the ballot material mailed on election day enough time to get to the central counting station.
Once again, each county has their own election and goes by the election code rules/laws. A person in a county can make an appt. with the election administrator and ask questions about how he/she runs an election.
I made a move to a town that was in another county. I got an application for a mail ballot in the old county and it said if I had moved, please contact them to remove my name. That instruction is on every application for a mail ballot.
It may be you got an application not from the county, but from a candidate or a political party. It is legal for candidates and parties to send applications for a mail ballot. I always get several applications from candidates and did get one from the Republican Party a few days ago.
-
One of the less noticed features of the Pennsy Supreme Court's ruling is that it affirmed the legislature's intent that "naked" ballots not be counted. Here in Pennsy, your ballot must first be sealed in a plain white envelope (the "secrecy" envelope) which is then placed inside the envelope used for mailing. If the voter fails to place his/her ballot in the secrecy envelope, it is a "naked ballot" that must be discarded.
That's the law. So says the legislature, so says the court. And it may end up disqualifying up to 100,000 ballots, the majority of them presumably Democrat. Dems around here are now shitting bricks! The clamor has begun for legislative action to change the rule and allow the counting of naked ballots. Problem is, the GOP controls the legislature. The solution is simple - get off your lazy, fearful ass and vote on Election Day!

Maybe it's just me,but I don't see why the Dims are panicking over this. What's to keep them from buying thousands of plain envelops to put the "naked" ballots into.
AFATG,what's to prevent them from having people who have been dead 200 years from putting their ballot in a plain envelope before putting it in the special envelope. If someone is already dead and still able to vote,I don't see the challenge.
Not to mention traditional Dim voters like Superman,Spider Man,The Green Lantern,etc,etc,etc. You KNOW superheroes wouldn't see it as a challenge.

@sneakypete
The ballot envelope inside the carrier envelope, is not a plain envelope. A plain envelope would be caught and the ballot not counted.
