Late Monday night, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Wisconsin cannot accept absentee votes that are mailed in and postmarked after the Tuesday primary and general judicial election date. The 5-4 decision was reached in an ideological manner, with the majority conservative bloc unanimous in their opposition to the state’s Democrat effort to extend the deadline by six days for absentee ballots.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a fierce dissenting opinion on behalf of the court’s liberal wing.
Democrats had claimed that the absentee ballot extension was needed to safeguard voters in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Extending the date by which ballots may be cast by voters —

A quick note to Nancy: America is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. You'd think that the Speaker of the House, and second in the presidential line of succession, would at least know what our form of government is!!!

I guess the Dem's vote harvesting scam has finally run into resistance. This has precedential value throughout the US - Kalifornia hardest hit

The Democrats are at every polling place, so know the ballot count, and how many votes they would need to mail in after election day. No Republican would ever win another election, under the Democrat suggestions, which is their goal.

You can bet your last dollar that Ruthie didn't write anything. One of her clerks wrote it while she cowered in her house trying desperately to outlive Trump's presidency.

Which is it? The vote is incredibly important for the United States?
Or, we can trivialize it by accepting votes from dead people, unidentified people, aliens, at any time we choose and in any even if unverifiable way we say?

Thank God for our so great Constitution!
Ruthie had better understand what being "late to the party" means. It's the reason we have a U.S. Post Office, not "Sam and Freida's Postal Service."
I wonder how she would rule if an attorney showed up late to a Supreme Court case?

Whats jeopardizing "democracy" is the democrat penchant for changing the rules thru fiat or judicial activism to effect their preferred outcome.
The correct democratic process is for the state legislature to effect changes in advance of the election. Not the day of or even after the election.

Vote fraud is an ideological issue. I expect any decision to be ideological.

FTA, "Either they will have to brave the polls, endangering their own and others’ safety. Or they will lose their right to vote, through no fault of their own.”
So, if they vote when they run out to the supermarket or as part of their outdoor exercise routine, they will not be a risk to themselves or others. Isn't that how this works?

Just like Florida in 2000. Dems want to change the rules after the election. The SCOTUS was right then and now. It is the goal of Democrats to create chaos in elections cause a whole lot of voter fraud can be hinden in chaos.

How come no one got upset when Democrat Governor Pritzker said elections would go forward despite the virus?

So many cliches fit here. What goes around comes around! Can dish it out but can't take it! Truth prevails!!!!
Elections have consequences--we lived through eight hellish years of 2008-2016. Then we saw the light!!!! Thankful for PDT and his SCOTUS picks--but Roberts is always a wildcard.
GAWA!!! KAG!!! Elections should not be affected by this virus--but they're always affected by the virus of liberalism!

The Chinese virus is no excuse for late ballots! People have extra free time, due to stay at home requirements, to complete ballots and get them in the mail. The democrats are trying every angle of voting fraud.

The most important point about this is that it is not the court's place to extend the date of the election. That is up to the legislature.

Just another reason to be thankful for President Trump. He has succeeded in bringing order to the judicial system at the Fed level, which has been out of whack for a decade or more. The Left is going to be pushing hard for the Soros plan of nationwide vote by mail. We Oregonians of a conservative bent know how that works out, since we have had no republican governor since 1986.
Tom Fitton and his Judicial Watch activism is another patriot we should be thankful for as well. He must be scoring real points in the fight since the media is so studiously ignoring him. To an earlier comment, I can think of several old Swamp bats who need to fly back to their cave. If we are going to change things up, how about mandatory retirement when a certain age is hit for all members of congress and the Supremes? That alone would remove a huge portion of the incumbents in congress.

This whole issue could have been avoided if the Democrat Wisconsin Governor would have not waited until the day before the election to decide to cancel voting at the polls. Its not like the stay at home orders / virus happened yesterday. The Wisconsin Governor had two months to get with the legislature and come up with a plan to cancel, change, or move the election to a different date. The SCOTUS based their ruling on Wisconsin law. It is not their place to change that law if it is not unconstitutional. The SCOUTS ruling only applied to absentee ballots. The lower courts are the ones who said the polls need to stay open.

In the 2000 presidential election, al gore's campaign attorneys planned to disqualify Florida military absentee votes based on untimely receipt of the ballots by election officials, and carried out that plan.

The leftists do not accept that laws setting the election date to be April 7 means that April 7 is the date of the election, not subject to revision by the judiciary.
The judiciary is tasked with interpreting the Constitution and laws passed by Congress and the state's Legislatures. The judiciary does NOT have the authority to change duly passed laws.

If Ginsburg, Pelosi, and all the other Dems weren't such lying sacks of dung hell-bent on undermining the entire election process, I might agree with them. But seeing them as they are - I don't.

This was going to happen as Trump changed the ideological tilt of the courts.
Perhaps Leftists would like to borrow some
of the duct tape Conservatives have been stockpiling
for the last two decades
as the left have been jamming their programs
though the "unbiased branch" of government.
