It’s true that 4 SC justices are needed to hear a case, but the conservative wing would not want to hear this case unless they were sure of a 5th vote to overturn. They would not want to risk upholding the state’s position.

Is this the “winning” that Dotard told use we would get tired of? If so, then he was right.

I say up it to 15 and start adding 18 year term limits.
So I voted a couple of hours ago in St. Louis County, MO. We now have an app that shows how many people are waiting in line to vote. We also can vote at any polling place in the county if we live in the county. I checked on the number of people waiting at 11AM and at my regular polling place there were over a 100 people in line, then I checked the other two closest to that polling place and it was about the same number. So I went and did my usual walk at my usual time and when I back home and checked, there were 0 people waiting, so I went up and there were 5 in line. Really was no wait at all.
But now even after I voted I’ve been checking the app to see the wait times in other parts of the district. I don’t know why this is fascinating to me, but it is.

Last night the news featured a man in is 90s who was in the hospital because of a fall, he was notified that he forgot to sign one of the required things, and because of COVID some one from the BOE couldn’t go to the hospital and have him sign what he needed to sign. Turns out the hospital was transferring him to a rehab facility, so his daughter arranged with the BOE and the ambulance to stop by a polling place so he could rectify the signature problem.
Damn It, Let the People Vote!
Because of the way the Donald speaks and his accent, he really said whining, we were going to get tired of all the whining.

The U.S. Postal Service blew a court-ordered deadline Tuesday to sweep mail-processing facilities in more than a dozen states for missing election ballots that could number in the hundreds of thousands.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington ordered the sweep Tuesday morning after the Postal Service said its delivery performance had dropped over the past five days and could not say whether more than 300,000 ballots received in its facilities had been delivered.
The sweep was to happen in 12 postal districts, including in battleground states Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.
Sullivan gave the agency until 3:30 p.m. to finish the task.
The Postal Service said in its update to Sullivan at 4:30 p.m. that it was unable to conduct the sweep because it would have “significantly” disrupted its Election Day activities. Instead, the agency said, it would continue its preplanned daily review process in its 220 facilities nationwide that process ballots and would try to deliver any remaining ballots.
Thanks!
