So SCOTUS should not take the case since federal elections are not one of the Executive branch's enumerated powers, correct? The manner and administration of federal elections is determined by the states. Right? Isn't that kind of what they said for the Mississippi case where they allowed ballots arriving after election day but postmarked before election day?

Yes, yes and yes!

Another thing? Supreme Court allowed him to end TPS. I see why he bankrupts businesses. Does he realize the amount of money it costs to deport them and the amount that won’t go into this economy from them working. A President with no brain.

Donald Trump hates anything he can’t control.

What a dope, does everything the quack Stephen Miller suggests! I will vote by mail if I choose it is my democracy and obviously not his!

While I fill out my mail in ballot in Fl he can keep trying. Make sure they tell the Supreme Court he, himself, voted by mail the stupid hypocrite. All this he’s doing is cutting off his nose to spite his face. He forgets republicans vote too. I hope it backfires.

Perhaps this is a question better suited for Miss Mingo. Does this case fall into the queue along with Trump’s case that E Jean Carroll should give back the $5.6M? Can all of his ridiculous re-litigation attempts be handled together with the long-standing “no-takesies no-backsies” precedent?

Who is paying for all this litigation?

Every county in Florida seems to handle elections differently. In Duval County, you can take your completed mail-in ballot and drop it in a special box at all early voting locations during the time when people can vote. Perhaps your county has a similar setup.

In Sarasota, we have taken our mail-in ballots to secure drop offs that have two poll workers there to check that signatures, etc are correct before you drop them in. These sites have been at local library branches in the last few years so it’s a lovely added benefit that I can look for new books, or pick up hold books, at the same time.

It seems to me the important question is, what can we do about it? “Send money to Act Blue”? Nope, does not compute.

Specific things need to be done. Exactly what are they? Spell it out. Something ordinary people can demand get done, or they will withhold all further financial support.

Demand proof of effective action.

First, full documentation of the exact steps to be taken. Then, proof they ARE being taken, that they HAVE been taken.

Second, WE have to get control of both parties, or abandon them and join together in a sane, balanced third party rather than abstaining from the useless madness as outsiders. The destructive, oppositional dualism of both parties - the death of the sane, cooperative Center where progressives and conservatives understand that no eagle can fly with one wing fighting the other - is our big underlying problem.

Mailed mine - will track it. Could it be that mail-in ballots cannot be manipulated as they may be on Election Day? He also tried to limit counting the ballots postmarked by Election Day, but received later. I don't trust Trump or Elon.
