New #ElectionLaw case from the U.S. Supreme Court
Do the federal election-day statutes preempt state laws that allow ballots cast by federal election day to be received after election day? www.audioarguendo.com/listen.php?c...
#Federal #law bars deploying federal “troops or armed men” to polling places, except to repel “armed enemies of the United States.” #Elections are run by #states, despite #Trump’s calls to “nationalize” #voting in certain places.
“Sending #ICE or any federal agents to interfere in elections or […]
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, told CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday that the #airport #ICE deployment fits what he sees as a broader strategy∶ using the #military & federal law enforcement to help #Trump hold #power — including, potentially, during the #midterms.
“These are all tools of how the […]
#SteveBannon suggested #ICE agents’ presence in airports is a "test-run" ahead of the 2026 #midterms
The high-profile deployment of #Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents to airports has renewed support on the right & fear on the left about the possibility of ICE going to the polls in […]
#Hypocrisy
#Trump has cast another #mail #ballot in #Florida as he continues to publicly bash the voting method as a source of “fraud” & push #Congress to curtail the practice.
Palm Beach County voter records show Trump voted by mail in a Tuesday special #election for state legislative seats & […]

Ridiculous
#SCOTUS seems skeptical of allowing #states to accept late-arriving #mail #ballots
In two hours of arguments, the court’s conservative justices appeared mostly skeptical of Mississippi’s defense of its five-day grace period.
#law #ElectionLaw #Trump #Republicans […]
All 50 states require #ballots to be cast or postmarked on or before #Election Day, but 14 states have grace periods for receiving & counting regular mailed ballots, ranging from a day to several weeks after the #election.
A final ruling will almost certainly come by late June, early enough to […]
#SCOTUS hears arguments over “late” [postmarked on time] arriving #mail [absentee] #ballots
The #US #SupremeCourt is hearing arguments over whether #states can continue to count late-arriving mail ballots — an election [non]issue targeted by #Trump.

Most Americans support the idea of voter identification, polls say. But voter identification is not really what the #SAVE America Act is all about, according to #Democrats & #election experts who oppose it. (Its full name is the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.) They say it’s about […]
Voter fraud almost never happens in the #US. Still, in order to “prevent” it, #Trump is pushing #Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, an #ElectionLaw that would, among many provisions, require people to show photo identification to #vote [proof of citizenship].
It’s a solution in search of […]

MacKinnon says C-4 amendment under consideration but Senate should be deferential on changing elections laws #CanadaElections #ElectionLaw #PoliticalNews #MacKinnon #Senate
The #JohnRoberts court has repeatedly gutted the #VRA & if it were to rule that it is unconstitutional for states to draw districts that allow voters of color to elect their candidates of choice that would essentially spell the death of the country’s most important #CivilRights #law. Based on […]
Court watchers speculate that #Alito, because he has not authored an opinion from the court’s term last October, is writing the majority opinion in a hugely important case the court has yet to rule on concerning the constitutionality of the last remaining section of the #VotingRightsAct. If […]
#Alito is essentially saying that districts drawn under the #VotingRightsAct or other federal & state laws to remedy centuries of racial #discrimination are as #racist as the #racism (including the legacy of #slavery & #JimCrow) they were meant to rectify.
#law #SCOTUS #democracy #VRA […]
The majority did not explain its reasoning, but most concerning was the concurring opinion by Justice Samuel #Alito, in which he wrote that districts drawn “for the express purpose of ensuring that ‘minority voters’ are able to elect the candidate of their choice” represented “unadorned racial […]
“Time & again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation,” #Sotomayor wrote. “Time & again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an election. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except […]
In her dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justices #KetanjiBrownJackson & Elena #Kagan, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for using one set of rules to uphold #redistricting maps that benefit #white voters & #Republicans in states like #Texas while using a […]
