The Supreme Court has allowed the counting of ballots in North Carolina received up to nine days after the election as long as the ballots are postmarked by Election Day, a victory for Democrats in another key state

Republicans and the Trump campaign had asked the court to reinstate a deadline set in June by the state Legislature that allowed ballots to be received only up to three days after Election Day.Justice Amy Coney Barrett took no part in the decision because she had not had time to fully review the briefs, the court said.North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein praised the court's order, calling it a"huge win.

A federal appeals court earlier this month had allowed the nine-day extension that was set by the State Board of Elections amid the pandemic, as part of a legal settlement. Supreme Court won't expedite latest GOP challenge to Pennsylvania mail-in ballot rules"The extension simply makes it easier for more people to vote absentee in the middle of a global pandemic that has killed over 200,000 Americans,"the appeals court ruled.

When did rigging elections become a good thing? If people can’t vote in person then every Walmart , Target snd store needs to shuttered immediately!

Why ok in NC but not other places

Well, more a victory for democracy, I'd say.

Shouldn't every single American that believes in democracy be worried that counting all votes is seen as a victory for the Dems. Why do Reps not want all votes to be counted? It proves they cannot be trusted!

Shouldn't even be a victory, should just be normal.

Why is this a thing? Common sense ought to tell these people that voters can't control the rate at which mail is delivered. If it's postmarked in time, count the ballots! Smh. This shouldn't even be news.

No, actually it’s a victory for democracy.

How does this help Democrats?

Becoming an absolute circus!

During that time, voters should be allowed to change their votes.

Y’all covering the TonyBubolinski story Come on MSM. Do the right thing. Report of the biggest story of the decade!!!! CNN = fake news= violators of my civil rights.

If the election ends up in the Supreme Court thank God we have ACB.

It’s a victory for democracy, lower case D.

A victory for DEMOCRACY! What’s your problem ? I hope you’ve corrected that BS by the time I’m even typing this.

Why North Carolina and not other states whose ba.lots are postmarked NOV 3rd?

Lols. Will not make any difference bcos all ballots will be carefully monitored and followed. No room for fraud this time. The law enforcement officers are watching everywhere. People are at alert.

This proves the Supreme Court is not biased, the media is.

Postmarked means received and processed by the Post Office Nov3.

Why you keep saying it’s a victory for the Dems; actually it’s a victory for the democracy not a political party.

Democrats are walking into electoral ambush with mail-in ballots! Biden mail-ins who can must VoteInPerson in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin & Michigan to ensure votes GET COUNTED! VoteEarly in WI This will reduce SCOTUS-supported coup & help StopTrumpsElectionTheft

Pennsylvania yes. North Carolina yes. Wisconsin no?

Tony Bobulinski

This is confusing. For one State SCOTUS refused counting votes received after Election Day (Kavanaugh ruling) while allowing in other states. Can someone explain?

Biden and his husband are so nervous. ☺️
