Kicking the Can Down the Road, SCOTUS Sows Chaos (Again)
Confusion.
That’s what the Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) ruling last week lifting a lower court’s prohibition of mail-in ballot restrictions will cause.
The problem, apparently — at least according to six right-wingers on the court enabling sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s former best friend — is that the 23 states that sued in April over the March 31 executive order restricting mailed ballots did so “too early”, allowing the convicted felon’s order to stand while a lower court deliberated new mail ballot guidelines’ legality.
Basically, SCOTUS just kicked the proverbial can down the road two months before early voting begins in several states, when some states have already begun mailing ballots.
It all started in March when the octogenarian five year old soiling the Oval Office issued Executive Order (EO) 14399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” requiring the United States Postal Service to provide “unique ballot envelope identifiers, such as bar codes, enable confirmation that only citizens receive and cast ballots, reducing the risk of fraud and protecting the integrity of Federal elections.”
