ballots and some counties said they would not start counting absentee ballots until Nov. 4.Local election officials are now bracing for possible legal filings challenging the tabulation of mail-in and absentee ballots, which have arrived in record-shattering numbers ahead of Election Day. They’re also watching for last-minute changes in how they are supposed to tally those votes.
State officials on Thursday urged voters to have confidence that their ballots will be counted and the system will work — but urged them to vote right away.“I know there’s confusion about flying court decisions,” Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, said at a news conference. “Do not try to game this out, do not try to predict what any of them mean. Instead, make a plan today to vote.
But three of the court’s conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch — criticized the state court’s ruling allowing the extended deadline, signaling they were open to revisiting the issue after the election. “This is a legal equivalent of a late-evening rage text,” said Justin Levitt, a constitutional law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles who tracks voting rights litigation. “I don’t know if that means, in the cold light of day, whether the justices would be interested in going to the same place in this context. It definitely signals there are three justices … who feel strongly about this issue.
Boockvar, the secretary of state, said at Thursday’s news conference that the counties’ decisions weren’t “hard and fast,” adding that she was working with local officials to make sure the counting began on Tuesday.“I want every one of them starting on Election Day,” she said. “The overwhelming majority are planning to start the moment they possibly can. That’s what most critical.”
I know it in advance , but I can't handle it.
Strange that the US is fast reaching to the list countries with electoral mismanagement.
Wow, i could have written that headline from my my closet. Did you do that one from under your desk?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Translation? Dems are losing and looking for excuses.

Hoping for a Texas win for Biden. That would nullify all of these attacks on voting.
