In NC all absentee ballots have to be in no later than 7:30 pm on election night. NC is not one of the states looking to count absentee ballots beyond election eve.
But Military and oversea citizen mailed absentee ballots are given some extra time, (10 days generally) before canvassing, but these have to be postmarked no later than 12 pm on election day, But those overseas citizens and Military that vote online have to be done by 7:30 PM EST
Thank you for clarifying. I meant the UNOCAVA threat.
It's a huge threat. Reaffensperger in Georgia has said 25% of Georgia votes are overseas!
NO Ballots, military or otherwise should be accepted after election day, and I was hoping that is what this 5th circuit court ruling meant.
It just means you have to vote 10 days earlier than you would have if you wanted them in by Election Day. Why should UNOCAVA get 10 days after the election when all they have to do is mail them 10 days sooner.
It's one of the responsibilities a citizen has if they want to vote from overseas!
So I haven’t read the ruling yet but I wonder if the votes have to be COUNTED on Election Day as well. Or is it just received by Election Day? If not, my corrupt state could still say they don’t have results right away if counting is allowed to run beyond the 5th.
Hearing that too. Also hearing it is laying the foundation for a Supreme Court decision nationwide.
This was near the end of the decision as a reference from the federal judge.
As Justice Kavanaugh recently emphasized: “To state the obvious, a State cannot conduct an election without deadlines . . . A deadline is not unconstitutional merely because of voters’ own failures to take timely steps to ensure their franchise.”
5th circuit also includes Oklahoma and Arkansas . However, I think has national implication because the federal law applies nationwide. Just like the 9th circuit ruled against Trump on issues nationwide. 5th circuit also put an injunction on jab mandates nationwide back in 22 I think it was.
Indeed. I've read it only applies to the 5th and I've seen it applies nationwide. I'm leaning towards 5th only. Also saw where 5th circuit only included Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Swear it used to be Arkansas and OK too.
This is YUGE!!!
How about all that waiting you planned to do GA, PA, WI, MI, AZ, NC?
Votes are in by Election DAY or they don't count! Boom!

Yes, it is a threat for sure. And just so you know the Republicans of NC just recently lost their case to remove anyone from voting overseas who have no proof they have ever resided in the state.

The fraud is deep in the courts. No justice.

It states RECEIVED and COUNTED.
i never trusted Ratburger or Krimp ,there both compromised and we all know it.
We're going to see this through fren ! Sooner or later we're going to turn the tables over !
Calirado’s law states ballots must be received by 7:00 pm election to be counted. Uocava have additional days.
so nice to hear that word BOOM again. i haven't seen/heard it for a while.
BOOM BOOM BOOM! 🐸
HA! damn you are good!!! kek!
Boom and hopium all in one thread.
Grab the popcorn.
hearing it only applies to 5th circuit states like Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana....not Penn or Mich/WI
Hearing that too. Also hearing it is laying the foundation for a Supreme Court decision nationwide.
This was near the end of the decision as a reference from the federal judge.
It doesn’t apply to any of those states, only the three states in the 5th Circuit: Louisiana Mississippi & Texas
5th circuit also includes Oklahoma and Arkansas . However, I think has national implication because the federal law applies nationwide. Just like the 9th circuit ruled against Trump on issues nationwide. 5th circuit also put an injunction on jab mandates nationwide back in 22 I think it was.
Those are nationwide injunctions, which this isn’t and only applies to those states, but it can influence other Circuit courts to do the same
It's kind of worthless if it's just including a bunch of red States
i thought this too but im not sure...need legal to chime in
Indeed. I've read it only applies to the 5th and I've seen it applies nationwide. I'm leaning towards 5th only. Also saw where 5th circuit only included Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Swear it used to be Arkansas and OK too.
I thought it was a federal ruling nationwide.
What states does the 5th circuit cover though? Any swing states?
Sounds like just 3 southern states, however, it does set up a US Supreme Court scenario it sounds like.
