The Supreme Court just showed us

[edhopper]

That they will stop the vote count in States where Trump is ahead.
And with Barret, they will okay throwing out Biden ballots.
The polls only tell the story if the votes are actually counted.
I have doubts that will be allowed.
It will be Florida 2000 on steroids..
This is a genuine threat to our Democracy.

[vercetti2021]

1. If they want secession and civil war

That's what they'll get from it.

[roamer65]

7. Province of New England and Province of New York for starters.

Canada would be receptive because it would dilute the power of Quebec and would create a land bridge from Ontario to the Maritime provinces in the event of Quebec separation.

[Marius25]

27. What about us in the Mid-Atlantic?

[roamer65]

29. What would you call yourselves?

[Marius25]

30. I'll call myself anything. I just want to be part of the

group that joins Canada

My family is thinking of retiring to Massachusetts if Biden wins. They're looking into Europe if Biden loses.

[roamer65]

31. Cant say I blame them.

This is the most important election since November 1860.

Let’s see how it goes....

[lagomorph777]

34. Atlanteans

[LiberalLoner]

15. Yup, we won't take it quietly.

[Jason1961]

2. It won't save them

They're running out of tricks to pull

The math doesn't lie, they're the party of 'No' however slowly but surely we're winning and they know it

The Court will be balanced (as it should be) once we retake the Senate

[OnDoutside]

17. Well said.

[StarfishSaver]

3. Vote early

[lagomorph777]

35. Too late to vote early! VOTE NOW!

Also, it's too late to use USPS. Use any other method that you legally can.

[StarfishSaver]

36. Vote early as in vote before November 3

And yes, don't mail in votes now. Either vote in person or take ballots to the boards of elections.

[Crunchy Frog]

4. If he gets a second term via coup, then it's literally war.

That's it.

[Hoyt]

5. If you are referring to the ruling today, I don't think it's a real issue.

How many Democrats do you think will wait until last minute to mail in their ballot if they are not voting in-person?

I think we are smarter than that and will use drop boxes or vote in-person. It won’t be an issue.

Also, don’t think it will be an issue on Nov 3.

[Statistical]

9. How many? Elections are won on the margins.

Would 30% of Democrats & Independents do that? Of course not but would 4% especially when they have been told for weeks and weeks and weeks now they just need it postmarked by election day?

[Hoyt]

11. I'm sorry, I think Democrats are smarter than that. We are a week out. Anyone

who has already mailed a ballot will likely have it there by November 3.

Anyone that hasn’t, has enough sense to take it to the many drop boxes or vote in person. Besides, GOPers will be under same restrictions. Do you think they are smarter than us?

[Statistical]

14. There are far fewer Republican mail in ballots by a factor of more than 2:1.

I mean why do you think the Republicans challenged this extension. They challenged it because it would hurt them more and they wanted to up the difficulty?

[Hoyt]

19. At this point, a week until Nov 3, I don't think anyone knows whether it's more Dem or GOPer

ballots that will be mailed and might be late. Your 2:1 ratio might have been true early on, but at this point I think Democrats have gotten their ballot in. Second, I think Democrats have been using drop boxes and will do so increasingly as it gets closer to election. Finally, I hope that local Democratic organizations are doing their best to get procrastinators to vote in-person or using drop boxes.

For years, November X has always been the deadline. It's not like the SC ruled that if your ballot wasn't in by October 15th it doesn't count and you have no recourse.

But if you want to fret that WI is lost, you have that right.

[Statistical]

20. I don't think WI is lost. However it is naive to think Republicans challenged this because net-net

it hurts Republicans. It hurts Democrats that is why they did it.

I think this might cost Joe 2% of the vote. The good news is Joe is polling up six so he can afford that.

[Hoyt]

21. I don't think that many Democrats are stupid enough to mail in ballots that late.

[Awsi Dooger]

10. As of Monday night there are 21.5 million Democratic and Independent mail ballots

That have not been returned

Granted, some of them have not been received or processed yet, even though they have been mailed. But probably at least 17-18 million not mailed

[Hoyt]

12. How many GOPer ballots haven't been returned? Do you think

Democrats are stupid enough to go the postal route after say Wednesday when most states have plenty of Drop Boxes.

Besides, your numbers are national, not Wisconsin specific. A number of states have laws making Postmark deciding date. In fact, the same SC we are griping about just allowed Pennsylvania to count ballots received by Nov 6 if postmarked by Nov 3.

Just vote and we win. Gripe and give up, we lose.

[edhopper]

16. Clinton lost WI

By only 10,000. And you don't think this ruling will impact the election?
Wow.

[Hoyt]

18. No, because first it affects GOPers as well. Most importantly, do you think Democrats are stupid

enough to mail a ballot when it likely won't get there by Nov 3 when there are numerous official drop boxes available and early voting? I don't, but apparently you do.

[edhopper]

23. That is a ridiculous argument on so many levels

And insulting as well.

[Hoyt]

25. It is insulting for people to act like Democrats haven't got sense enough to get ballots in on time.

Wish someone would explain why they keep doing it.

[edhopper]

28. We need independents to win

And many people have lives that don't allow them to pay attention to all the ins and outs of the election details. The got a mail in ballot and think if they send it in before the election it will be counted. They won't be now.
You seem to be of the opinion that all Democratic and independent voters are on Democratic forums paying attention to every news item.
Again, Hillary lost WI by 0.5%.

How many votes do you think will be lost because of the GOP's interference?

[bullimiami]

6. A coup is a coup regardless. They got away with one when it was very close.

Pull blatant shit and what may result??

[SomedayKindaLove]

8. No telling how many votes they just suppressed in Wisconsin

Guess they are only for states rights when those rights are used to suppress people.
When a state tries to protect it’s citizens vote, they are against states rights.

Trump is tonight tweeting all votes must be counted by Nov 3
The post office has already been gutted
If you haven’t already mailed in your ballot, and depending on what the laws are in your state, which the Supreme Court can apparently change, a week before the election, you might want to consider....

VOTING IN PERSON and SOON!

[Celerity]

13. they said 200,000 plus in just WI (on multiple MSNBC shows)

I have multiple ways that this shit (the election on every level) can go pear shaped at a multiplicity of inflection points, but I am done posting on it.

It serves no purpose at this point and just invites trouble here now as we are nearing the end and people are already in extreme stress and have a building anger. I am already on record as saying there are going to be some bonkers moves attempted to be pulled off.

[FakeNoose]

22. Recent Covid activity - new cases - is very high in WI

I believe that a lot of people who intended to vote in person on November 3rd are going to stay home to avoid the crowds. That's what any sensible person would do, anyway. If that's the case, it would tend to favor Biden and the Democratic candidates, wouldn't you think?

Early voters and mailed ballots are going to make a difference in Wisconsin.
That's how it looks to me.

I don't see how this will be a question for SCOTUS to rule on.

[edhopper]

24. One would hope

But the SC just threw it up to grabs and made sure all votes will not count.

[dalton99a]

26. The Trump Court will do everything it can to destroy democracy

[11 Bravo]

32. Let me guess. Your nickname is not "Sunshine".

Give it a rest.

[edhopper]

33. I am sure you were just as confident

in 2000 and 2016.
