Fifth Circuit: Only Ballots Received by Election Day May Be Counted; It Is Illegal and Unconstitutional To Count "Votes" Recieved After Election Day

The left has been fighting to count votes received four or five or more days after the constitutionally-specified election day.

This appeals court covers Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. It doesn't cover that state I mentioned the other day that will count votes four days after the election. However, this ruling could cause other courts to adopt this rule, or the Supreme Court to impose it on them.

The below tweet is incorrect -- a circuit appeals court's decision is only binding on the jurisdictions of the circuit. Sometimes a rinky-dink trail court judge will claim a decision binds the entire nation everywhere. We call those "Hawaiian judges." I've noticed a lot of those decisions get vacated.


We'll have to see. There aren't many days left for litigation!

8 The SC needs to wade into this, seems common sense you can't keep taking in ballots after election day.

Even postmarked, all that means is it was stamped by a postman. That's not actually turning a ballot in.

Unless SCOTUS jumps in with an emergency stay this is going to stand for at least the next few weeks. There is literally no time for a full hearing by the 5th circuit court before election day and no other court has any cases before them to make a contrary ruling.


Problem is, the left has shown they are more than willing to ignore any court ruling they do not agree with.

47 Until a few years ago, Oregon had mail order voting, but ballots had to be in the hands of elections officials by 8 PM on Election Day, not just in the mail.

Now, Oregon has joined Washington in saying that they will count all ballots merely postmarked by 8 PM on Election Day, so ballots can keep being received for a week or so after the election.

Remarkably in both Oregon and Washington, ballots received after Election Day break very, very sharply to the Left.

It's the strangest thing.

I know this is wish casting, but could you just decree that the US Mail is not allowed to handle voting ballots anymore?

I mean, we have "Registered Mail" because even the Post Office is admitting, the mail isn't all that secure. You would be stupid to send cash in the mail, but our whole democracy is basically in the hands of a joke of a government agency that was never equipped to handle voting ballots or have a secure chain of custody.

64 Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley 9h
You're going to hear from many political experts, pundits, and pollsters telling you why President Trump is surging and going to win.

None are going to give you the raw, simple truth.

After Biden and Kamala's record inflation, the message needed for Trump to win became very simple.

Yes, the policy positions are huge, but those weren't what was going to make or break Trump.

The number one objective was to allow the public to see Donald Trump through a different lens and remove the fear that the media had instilled in voters over the course of the previous 8 years.

If you want to know what's at the foundation of "Trump Derangement Syndrome," it's fear. This one emotion is responsible for 90% of the affliction. Scared people aren't rational or logical. They're terrified and consumed by their fear.

Thus, the single objective was to remove the fear from enough Americans regarding Trump "the man" to allow them a pathway psychologically away from fear.

How do you accomplish this?

66 Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley 9h
Firstly, you meme him relentlessly as lovable characters whom Americans identify with. Over and over again, you reinforce the grandfather, father, husband, and friend, aspect of Trump.

Simultaneously, as you build this image through video, pictures and music, you reinforce the reality of this by having President Trump make appearances at small businesses all across America, and allow normal voters access to him.

Dictators and tyrants don't allow ordinary citizens access to them. They don't invite normal people to their homes for events, and they don't give them access to photo opportunities and random run-ins at campaign events.

The last two+ years have been about teaching the public about Trump the man, while allowing this American legend to get comfortable allowing the people to see him vulnerable and kind.

Once these two objectives were accomplished, the media stranglehold on the public was broken.

If you ever wonder why I respond so poorly to people black pilling and pushing doom porn, the above is why. Fear is contagious, debilitating, and highly inaccurate. It's also limiting and is the root cause of most failure feedback loops.

The solution to fear is action. When we take action, we're no longer slaves to the fantasy of fear.

Donald Trump is just a man. He is flawed like anyone else.

However, he is quite literally a living legend that is leading the entire country out of decades of darkness.

Vote Trump and give America a chance to flourish.

All this likening of Trump to Hitler has got me looking back to my 2011 posts, when Wisconsinites likened Governor Scott Walker to Hitler.

From March 19, 2011: "Scott Walker is like Hitler because 'he doesn't do nice things'" (the quote is from a young protester, in a video interview by Meade).

From February 17, 2011: "Scott Walker compared to Hitler" (with video of Meade questioning a woman who is carrying a sign portraying showing Walker with a Hitler mustache).

Statement On Lancaster:
It’s been brought to my attention that Lancaster County has uncovered a voter registration fraud operation.

According to the report, the majority of those 2,500 voter registration applications were turned in at or near the deadline & are dated August 15th.

I can unequivocally state that this has nothing to do with @EarlyVoteAction.

Our staff turn in voter registration forms as we register voters.

The most forms we’ve ever turned in at one time was 400 in Luzerne County — right before we flipped it from 🔵 🔜 🔴.

At a recent Luzerne County BOE meeting, the manager revealed that an individual turned in a large quantity of forms on the deadline that were dated back to June. This had no connection to @EarlyVoteAction, either. (This batch should also be reviewed.)

I’m proud that our organization has registered tens of thousands of new Pennsylvania voters this cycle.

The reason why democrats are attacking us is because we’re effective. They’re also attacking us because their voter registration advantage is the lowest it’s been in 50 years & their mail-in ballot “firewall” is severely lagging.

Furthermore, we’ve made a concerted effort to register the Amish to vote in Lancaster — a group that democrat Governor Shapiro & the Dept. of Agriculture is waging a war against.

We look forward to hearing the results of this investigation & who is responsible. Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a democrat organization.

In the meantime, vote, vote early, vote by mail, & let’s deliver Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

is it an Executive Branch agency?
Posted by: Blago

Yes, the USPS is quasi governmental.

It "answers to" the Postal Service Board of Governors. As the governing body of the Postal Service, the 11-member Board of Governors has responsibilities comparable to the board of directors of a publicly held corporation. The Board includes nine Governors appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate.
(about usps com/who/leadership/board governors/ - insert two dots and then one dash after the word "board")

The Executive Leadership Team contains the Postmaster General & 10 executives. Then there's the Leadership Organization with nifty organizational charts.

There are nine collective bargaining agreements with seven unions covering approximately 550,000 career employees.

A propane type torch maybe. As a field Expedient, Pizza is worth it. Maybe a Heat Gun. Dutch oven recipes revolve around “17 briquettes on top, 9 on the bottom” stuff like that.

I'm curious about the rationale for needing to accept ballots that are days late (if one was even given). Does this tie into the racist trope that black people are too stupid to get a government ID?

Are black people also considered by the left to be too stupid to find a mailbox so that they can submit a timely ballot?

The contempt that the Dems have for blacks on their plantation knows no bounds.

179 I think you need to re-calibrate. The job of an HOA board member is to pass down arbitrary edicts and keep the Karens quiet. Beyond that, get your trees trimmed, lawn fertilized, driveway patched sealed and minor repairs done by the contractors to the management company that actually run the place You’re not doing this right.

I am going to disagree with you.

Within a HOA there is talent enough to get rid of the management company. They exist to do minor tasks and sit on the money. Money in the management company's hands is their goal.

I was President of a Reston, VA HOA (Control freak central) and ran it in such a way that the residents had low dues, less hassle, and the good stuff like trash, street lights, paving, was done. For 5 terms totaling 10 years. It was relaxation for me.

Not a lot of rebellion or grumbling from the residents, as I loved to explain why the actions taken were decided on.

184 I'm curious about the rationale for needing to accept ballots that are days late (if one was even given). Does this tie into the racist trope that black people are too stupid to get a government ID?

Are black people also considered by the left to be too stupid to find a mailbox so that they can submit a timely ballot?

The contempt that the Dems have for blacks on their plantation knows no bounds.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero43) at October 25, 2024 07:27 PM


All of the arguments that I have seen in regards to counting ballots received after election day or ballots not being correctly filled out have centered around the argument that blacks and hispanics are too stupid to fill out their ballots correctly and mailing them on time.

Posted by: Cicero

----------
The rational is that some people mail it on election day, so it does not arrive until a few days later. There is also a concern that the postal service is not up to the task of delivering intracity mail in less than 2 weeks.


The real reason is that they understand that if an election is close, Dems have the ability to harvest as many votes as are needed. Also they do "curing" where they correct any ballots that have improper ID, etc. and they want to do this as long as it takes for a Dem win.

The main goal though is chaos enable fraud.

In a statement, the IDF says it is carrying out “precise strikes” on Iranian military targets, in response to “months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel.”

“The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” the military says.

“Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond,” the statement continues.

The IDF says its “defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized,” and that it “will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.”

No there isn’t. The Post office has been handling elections since 1796. They know how to do this and is almost trivial.

The concern has shifted to “drop boxes” that have no chain of custody nor postmarks nor anything else, really. They are generically called “mail in” or maybe euphemistically called “Mail in” but they are just bins placed by golly knows who and picked up etc.

It's the voter's responsibility to properly execute their ballot. If they fail, their vote doesn't count. Period. Duh. There is no conceivable system in which "curing" or adjudicating ballots would be credible or reliable. It's absurd that any of this was ever allowed to start.

And of course mail-ins are ridiculous and should be banned. Rigorously authenticated absentee ballots - which IIRC always had to be into the county by election day - are the only exception.

239 Recall the contested Florida vote count during the Bush v Gore election. Prior to the actual election date, the Florida branch of the DNC sent out letters to their minions in charge of certifying local voter eligibility. Instructing them to use that power to reject ALL vote by mail votes received without postmarks under the argument that lacking such proof, even if they arrived before Election Day that was no legal proof they were mailed by/before Election Day.

Only problem is, there is one voting bloc which does vote by mail WITHOUT dated postmarks. Military voters posted overseas. Free mail, you see, granted by congress. Which voting bloc historically votes more (R) than (D).

So..... the letters asked their minions to reject as "too late" any votes Florida received from military voters from overseas hardship posts.... or from gallifrian Timelords.

Now... technically..... this was following the Letter Of The Law. however legal precedent was to count those votes and not disenfranchise Florida military voters. The majority of the (D) minions ignored the instructions. Count Every Vote - unless it's a likely not Hillary vote it seems.

------------------

What a waste of a holiday.

So which is it, all mail in (so no need to take a day off,) or you take a day off?

I am against a holiday because we have to get back to basics with very very localized voting. Assigned precincts/stations that are so local everyone can stop by on their way to or from work. Or for lunch for those that work near home.

Our main problem is that we centralized and stretched out voting so that there is no real oversight. The ballots should be secure and under eyes from the time it leaves the voter's hands, until it is counted (also under public view, usually in the form of "watchers" designated by the parties.)
Mail-in hands the security to the postal workers - big mistake.
Extended voting hands security to gov. employees. - bigger mistake.
Centralized vote counting hands security to big city machine - biggest mistake.

In every close race, the NYT and WaPo say every ballot must be counted. At the point the D pulls ahead, the NYT and WaPo say that counting must stop in order not to prolong the indecision.

258 Forgot - no "curing" ballots either. Just as bad as adjudication, and for the same reasons.

It's the voter's responsibility to properly execute their ballot. If they fail, their vote doesn't count. Period. Duh. There is no conceivable system in which "curing" or adjudicating ballots would be credible or reliable. It's absurd that any of this was ever allowed to start.

And of course mail-ins are ridiculous and should be banned. Rigorously authenticated absentee ballots - which IIRC always had to be into the county by election day - are the only exception.

Posted by: rhomboid at October 25, 2024 07:40 PM


This bull$hit dates back to the 2000 election bush vs. gore. The lower courts kept ruling absurd things about hanging chads, pregnant chads and voter intent based on down ballot choices where there was no vote for president on the ballot. That garbage has permanently stained ballot counting in this country since then.

273 Cicero it's fairly certain that much of the prep time of several weeks before the attack was diplomatic and operational prep with the Gulfies, and others (we'll see if Azerbaijan was used for this one). Both as to organizing the attack, and coordinating the defense to the Iranian "retaliation"*.

* the framing and discussion of this entire topic has been absurd in most of the western press - these two states have been engaged in an existential conflict of varying intensity and in various forms for years. Tit for tat is one assumes/hopes to gawd no part of Israeli calculations.

Rogan's podcasts generally run that long. It is a mildly positive sign it wasn't cut short. Kamala's people claim scheduling wouldn't allow her to appear on Rogan's podcast. Also preventing her appearance, certainty of gaffes and an acute case of common sense.

314 First kind of bad news about the attack, IDF spokesman specified "military targets" in his announcement. Economic and political targets aplenty, and impact of hitting them likely far greater. More buck for the bang, so to speak. But they've gamed this out ad nauseam and presumably know what they're doing.

Other troubling hint is a statement by some official that Lebanon operation could be wrapped up in a week (!!!). It's up to the Israeli leadership whether they want to guarantee more years (decades?) of problems in the north, or take more decisive steps now.
