I couldn't sleep last night. What if..... [View all]

I get bothered by bad political news all the time, but rarely does it actually keep me from sleeping.

It did last night.

Specifically, my concern that the Supreme Court might try some sort of shenanigans to give whatever hairy organism lives on Donald Trump's head a second term has gone way up. (And it was never minimal to begin with.)

Which led me to a what-if discussion in my own head -

My biggest fear is that the Supreme Court will rule that ballots not counted on or before Election Day should be tossed. Not just those delivered after that day - they've already said those don't count, which is outrageous and a good reason to impeach several of the justices - but any ballot that hadn't been added to the total by midnight on November 3.

Am I way off base here? (I very much could be.)


I'm still hopeful it'll be a blowout and that such antics won't come into play, but I'm really beginning to worry a lot more about it.
