Supreme Court allows three-day extension for Pennsylvania ballots

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will allow Pennsylvania to count mailed-in ballots received up to three days after the Nov. 3 election, rejecting a Republican plea in the presidential battleground state.
The justices divided 4-4 on Monday, an outcome that upholds a state Supreme Court ruling that required county election officials to receive and count mailed-in ballots that arrive up until Nov. 6, even if they don't have a clear postmark, as long as there is not proof it was mailed after the polls closed.

Chief Justice John Roberts joined with the three liberal justices to reject Pennsylvania Republicans' call for the court to block the state court ruling.

So just damage the post mark and anything goes...
Brilliant...

Wow, what an ass. Sen. Cruz must be right, he hates Trump. I guess the hate runs so deep he doesn't care if in the end it means the Court itself gets packed with leftists.

John Roberts sides with liberal justices on Pennsylvania ballots, election could get ‘really ugly’ if close

If PA is really close, and bunch of ballots come in three days later -- without postmarks -- to decide the election, it's going to be really ugly.

This is all a setup. Pennsylvania needs more time to count ballots? Why can't they prepare like other states? No doubt this is designed for a big cheat. Roberts is the enabler.

It isn't that they need more time to count. They need more time to collect new ones - after they have a count.

Apparently, they need more Ballot Counters and less Poll Watchers.....

I'm guessing that this time around, Mr. Trump is going to have to win without Pennsylvania.
That's "do-able", but makes the victory more uncertain.
What this decision reveals is that John Roberts has "gone over" to the other side. I sense he'll be aligning with the Court leftists much more in the future, particularly with Ms. Barrett on the bench.
Possibly the worst "Republican Supreme Court pick" since Earl Warren...

I am so tired of saying this, that I am getting blue in the face. Roberts has been blackmailed to veer left on close cases.
Check the record.

So much for what the law says. Just make it up as you go.
