It's not just SCOTUS. Unqualified political appointees are now installed in all of the the lower courts where many critical decisions will be made. Between voter suppression and corrupt courts, it will take a landslide election to keep Trump from stealing another term.
We never have official results election night. Just “fake news” projections. Takes states weeks to actually certify results. Mail-in ballots from mail-in states, absentee, military overseas have just needed to be postmarked by Election Day. Meaning they’re not received for days or even weeks later with overseas military. This is just a suppression attempt.
"This is just a suppression attempt."
Yes. Trump's and Republicans have to use this election strategy because otherwise they are sure to lose the election. Sadly, it may work because it's been strategically set up in the locations where it will make the biggest difference.
Most of the people who work at the polls are illiterate and don't even know to count properly, they are lazy and the big majority are affiliated to the democrat party for the socialism in America. What else can one expect from that crew that are not counting but manipulating our vote ? Every time I go to vote in person ( I do hate the absentee ballot and mail-in vote that is nothing but the prostitution of the sacred vote ) I have to deal with the same morons.
Stuff like ^ is an opinion. Opinions are not facts.
There are hundreds of thousands of polling places in the US, reportedly about 20,000 fewer than existed in 2016. While most vote in person at schools or churches, voting occurs in some museums, retail stores and even a McDonalds.
How many of these polling places have you personally visited and imposed an on the spot literacy tests on workers and volunteers? How did that work out for you?
It’s 2020, not 1820. Machines, not humans, tabulate votes.
He has appointed three stooges to the Supreme Court whom he expects to do what he wants. They will.
Actually, they haven't been.
In the recent cases the Rs have brought to them, they've been looking at the relevant state's law and rendering their opinions based on that. That's why they've been ruling agains the Rs in some cases.
Look, I dread some of the things I see coming down the pike from this SCOTUS. But I think the rights of each state to regulate their voting systems is not in danger. They're mainly going to be looking at whether the state is following its own laws. And if Congress acts on some of these questions, they will have to act within the Constitution.
You can bet that many states will be reviewing their own laws and procedures to make sure they're completely unambiguous.
I don't think that after a few weeks things will die down.
Currently, we have a President the majority of voters voted against, a Senate controlled by Republicans, though a majority of voters voted for the Democrats, and a Supreme Court controlled by justices who were appointed by Presidents who the majority voted against, and confirmed by Senates that the majority did not vote for.
This is unsustainable.
Republicans have been fairly successful with suppressing the vote, gerrymandering, smearing opponents with lies, and gaming the system in general.
Without using military force to impose the will of the minority, this system is unsustainable.
I'm not going to stop because what I say is the TRUTH like it or not ! Democrats are the majority of voters in this nation and are the ones who domain and control the election departments in each county of the Union. Very few republicans can work in the polls. Rural poverty as you discriminate also are humans and have rights no matter what. The reference I write here is in regards of MY OWN EXPERIENCE everytime I go to vote in the big metro area where I do live: Precincts full of idiots and morons with attitude FOR NOTHING ! Typical Demorats ! Sorry but not so sorry.
Opinions are not facts.
If most voters are Democrats, how did Bush 2 get 2 terms? 63 million voted for Trump in 2016. Geography matters. How is it the Senate and House flip majorities?
I have never observed a poll worker/ volunteer with attitude. Just a thought. Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, your expectations and behaviors influence your perceptions?

Every state has been counting the votes of military members after the polls have closed for MANY YEARS. This is therefore not a new process that suddenly just happened in 2020.
Trump could care less about the military members as the counting of ALL non in-person votes is likely not in his interests. He would be more than willing to sacrifice the military for his own benefit. In his view, the military is made up of losers and suckers so they matter little.
They do in a few states but not in others. My ballot has already been accepted and counted here in Florida. That's not the norm though.
Some states don’t even begin to verify signatures, let alone begin the tabulation process until polls close.
Reportedly, there are 20,000 fewer polling places than there were in 2016. We have all seen the press coverage of the lines and wait times for early voting. And then there’s Covid. All of this makes mail in voting a more attractive option for many people.
Some states, like Utah, have been also exclusively mail in balloting for years. The state consistently vote Republican.
