The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's unconstitutional to count votes received after Election Day.

In sane times, there would be neither conflict nor confusion over this Very. Simple. Concept.

But we don't live in sane time, and we don't have a sane democrat party, do we?

scribd.com - 5th Circuit Voting

Congress statutorily designated a singular “day for the election” ofmembers of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors. Text,precedent, and historical practice confirm this“day for the election” is theday by which ballots must be bothcast by voters andreceived by state officials.Because Mississippi’s statute allowsballot receipt up to five days after the federal election day, it is preempted by federal law. We reverse the district court’s contrary judgmentand remand for further proceedings.

This is only going to apply to a few states, but the precedent is now there in case it comes up for the Supremes.
