Republicans argue that the deadline extension threatens the integrity of the election by changing the rules too close to the election, an argument they have made in similar cases.earlier this year found that tens of thousands of primary ballots were rejected because they did not arrive on time.
The cases are part of an unprecedented nationwide legal fight between the parties over the rules governing mail-in voting, which has taken on greater significance this year due to the pandemic. Already, more thanhave cast early and mail-in votes in what's expected to be a record turnout election.
the court in michigan just stopped accepting ballots after election day. please god don’t let trump steal the election. take you ballots in
Republicans know if voting is accessible, easy, and each vote is counted they'll never hold office again. Cuz they're shitstains
Republicans are so crooked.
A victory for Republicans A victory for every American that wants to see the end more like it.
Of course voter suppression is a victory for Republicans
ChelseaHamill
Victory for Republicans, thought Republicans were Americans. Americans believe in democracy and democracy demands the voice of its citizens be heard, it does not seek to suppress them.
Not blocked in Pennsylvania but blocked in Wisconsin by SCOTUS?
VoterSuppressionIsReal
By the same people that gave you Corona. Vote them out!HowComeTheirMeetingsAreOnZoom
Of course it did. In the middle of a pandemic, with slower mail, infringe upon our constitutional right to vote. Way to go, republicans.
This is Proof that the new Biden administration and Democratic Senate Must immediately pack the US Supreme court to offset the cancerous extremist right wing Nazi Justices. They are politicizing the court by supporting trump's campaign and Republican efforts to hamper voting
Good reject all of them November 3 is election not 6 days after
That’s good! No special circumstances! BlacksForTrump Trump2020
Democrats will get screwed from now until the conservative judges die off w/this Supreme Court.
Voter suppression. Communism knocking at the door.
First TonyBobulinski buried the corrupt Biden family and now another Trump Supreme Court win.

scotus's ruling is a 'Cruel And Unusual Punishments' to the democracy +freedom loving people's, the voters, of this country. An act of God, including snow storm, earthquake, hurricanes, or freeway accident can cause a delay but the SCOTUS has no problem disenfranchising them
You have to understand. I live in Wisconsin. The Election LAW in Wisconsin is that the counting of the votes cannot stop for any break for any reason. No overnight rest. No new persons can come in to count in each precinct. So extended 3 days 24 hours a day, you will have errors
Of course they did. CONservatives are the ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY. VOTE THESE MONSTERS OUT.
Well, I just hope that the Ballots that arrive after election day are All Republican Votes!
What's their reason for not counting votes?
A victory for America*
Okay. I just read into it. Corruption at it's core.
Not counting legally cast votes is not a victory for the USA. What does it say that Republicans think it’s a victory?
My opinion is simple, what were the rules of counting. If they are trying to change them did they go through the norm procedure required to do so? Or was it rushed due to covid.
Go down and vote. If not stay home.
I literally just voted in person. Everyone had masks on and stood 6 fucking feet apart. If you can’t get your vote in by Election Day that’s your fault
Fk we are fked.
It's a victory for people who vote on election day. It's not election week, month or year.
Well. Vote early.
A victory for all Americans. Start screwing with the election dead lines and our elections will never be finalized.
Good thing our post office is being run so efficiently, ammirite?
Dub
Another 'victory' for the demons.
It doesn’t matter. They already won. The only avenue left is to change the game.
Absolutely bonkers. Republicans are “victorious” because they’re suppressing voters? What f*cking world is this?
👀👀
A DEFEAT for Democracy
Got it. Voter suppression considered a Win for Republicans after doing everything else to stop votes. That's the message, right?
Not counting votes on either side is cheating and rigging an election the American people lose here
Keep an eye out for these five people who voted to end democracy in the United States of America:
Voter suppression in action, realDonaldTrump and GOP are trying to steal this election. We can't let them.
Omg 😱 the legislature’s will actually have to legislate Put a lid on it
Do better NPR. This isn’t partisan. The American people lost. This is bad for democracy, not a party. Shame on you!
It has begun
We have 7 days past polls closing as long as they are postmarked before polls close. A fail for GOP.
A victory for AMERICA, not republicans. This is about the United States Constitution, not any specific political party. Constitution
Gee only one side doesn’t want to count all ballots. Seems anti-Democratic. Republicans hate people voting
You failed to mention in the article, that the SCOTUS vote was 5-3. Guess which 5 justices voted to suppress the vote. Now that it’s 6-3, we can all take an educated guess on how a strictly partisan vote for ACA or RvW will look.
SCOTUS is stripping away our rights, as long as an absentee ballot was mailed in n before Election Day it should be counted, especially during a fucking pandemic VoteThemOut VoteEarly VoteBidenHarris2020
Great call Supreme Court 🏆 the majority of citizens in the country want the election to be done traditionally and properly
And they didn't even need Amy Coney Barrett's vote to do this.
How is this allowed?!?!?!?!?!?
Why is this a victory for republicans? How do you know those uncounted votes aren’t from republicans?
I feel bad for Wisconsin..that shit ain’t right..
This is the most clear example of GOP influenced justices on voter suppression with a pandemic going on. Add on top of that a Trump pawn Louis Dejoy in charge of the usps, which raises suspicions of usps dis function. Democracy?
Just make sure you vote earlier!
A victory for trustworthy vote counts.
At least, we can save on the Twitter character limit by using RNC now instead of SCOTUS.
RollSallyRoll These are sad days for SCOTUS and our country. We must elect Biden and expand the court, no other choice.
Yet it's perfectly okay that the post office could intentionally slow down the mail.
We can only pray that there are multiple whistleblowers ready to call out the hacked voter machines and systems that Trump and company are funneling voters into.
GOOD NEWS! It’s called Election Day, not election week. I mean, hasn’t everyone known this day was coming for like 4 years now? Idiots!
That didn’t take long
Do not chance the USPS to deliver on time because they might be overwhelmed. Vote and drop off your mail-in ballot at the nearest official location - ASAP. If you can, VoteEarly in person today.
Democrats better mail-in those ballots TODAY or vote in-person! JoeBiden Election2020
This is t a victory... this is objectively a dangerous omen; you are saving face for anybody
Democrats mad that they won't be able to pull ballots out of thin air like they planned to do.
🤬🤬🤬
Counting votes is apparently a 100% partisan issue now.. Republicans have said loud and clear they prefer a dictatorship over a democracy. MAKE THEM PAY. Show up to vote and make sure they can't steal your vote!
Go out and take your votes personally!!!!! Vote the COVIDIOT out!!!!!
Republicans have always out voted Democrats by mail. The first time Democrats move ahead, Republicans find a way to make voting by mail more difficult. If Democrats want to get rid of the electoral college, all they have to do is win an election while losing the popular vote.
Isn't it sad where 'people have less time to get their vote in' is a victory for one side?
The game plan has been activated...
It’s a fascist coup. Time to get in the streets NOW! RefuseFascism was right and has been calling for mass sustained non violent protests. It’s not too late!
The Supreme Court also said its acceptable for corporations to buy politicians. 'This Court needs an enema'
Our highest court is now half-filled with unqualified puppets.
Shades of the Florida heist in 2000. Keep playing games with Democracy you tools.
what a fucking surprise.
Republicans trying to steal another election.
searl727 Very sad day. We now have a Supreme Court as corrupt as the Republican Party.
Hell no why would you want to have your vote counted what do you think this is a fair election, hell no don’t be stupid. Chump doesn’t want you to vote democrat just count his votes and shred yours. Only in the banana republic of America
This is the first sign of Corruption at the Highest level !!! Get used to it. Trump has planted his minions everywhere.
Uhhh. Wow that’s surprising. Not.
The Supreme Court has affirmed that voting laws matter. It’s a win for democracy
How about a victory for free and fair elections ?
Now we know they will do the GOP’s dirty work. People have to get their votes in now. It needs to be a blue tsunami.
WhiskyTangoFx A loss for voting.
The plan all along was to install a SCOTUS that would do away with democracy.
It's not a 'Victory for Republicans', it's a 'Tragedy for Democracy'. Stop covering politics like football. Do your job, 'journalists'.
A victory for America!! DEMs want voter fraud to flourish... obviously
Imagine considering fewer votes being counted a 'victory'. It's fundamentally wrong for either party to be happy about people's votes being ignored and a pretty telling sign that one party sees fewer votes as a good thing.
Hell yea are they that stupid and can't do the job the same as everyone else.
This is not simply a 'victory for Republicans.' It's a willful disenfranchisement of people who followed the rules to the letter. This is a strike against democracy. And doing it during a pandemic should be criminal.
Bring them in in-person so your vote counts.
ImpeachKavanaugh
You gonna call voter suppression a victory?
Just over a year ago Justice Kagan spoke to a UC Berkeley Law audience about the future of SCOTUS. She ended on a hopeful note saying the court was going to be okay. Wonder how she's feeling about that today.
The only reason to count ballots 6 days past the election is to cheat. This is democrat blatantly trying to cheat, which they know they need to if they want to win.
When less people vote Republicans win. We’ve known this for a while, but holy fuck are the Republicans just doing it out in the open these days.
It's amazing to see a party so blatantly try to keep us from having our votes counted - this is not a party with a future.
Uh, that’s a victory for authoritarianism. Quit treating elections like entertainment, you ghouls.
No, a victory for order. Elections are not a continuous process.
What was it before? 3 days? 2 days?
There are rules and the Supreme Court can’t see any reason why just because there’s a pandemic and on top of that the Post Office has been compromised by a Republican appointee to take another look at the “rules”. Rules apparently are formed in a vacuum which excludes reality.
How is this a victory for anyone?
Vote now. Vote early.
...Because only Democrats can't mail their ballots on time.
You have early voting. Taking about it for a year if peoplei can't get it done tough
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
And So it begins. Trump voted in person. Why? Can’t contest something you personally do The ComplicitCorruptGOP has already decided they are going to try to throw out mail in ballots in states they need to win!! VoteEarly voteBlue
Kangaroo Court is doing the job they were bought to do!
It's a victory for everybody. Why does this process have to be prolonged?
EricHolljes MarielSalcedo DeltaRae RideOrDiehards FionaNova miakhalifa TheMilesLuna Need to make sure this news spreads. We don't have the luxury of waiting until next week to send the mail-in ballots.
Why is this a partisan issue? Clearly, SCOTUS should rejected a request that would have extended the deadline for counting ballots to 6 days after ELECTION DAY.
Think about it: It’s a victory for Repubs bc they must be assuming most of those ballots will be Dem votes. If Repubs thought they could win, they wouldn’t be working tirelessly to eliminate ballots. VoteThemOut VoteEarly Just Vote
I no longer believe we have a Supreme Court. Sadly we have a Corrupt High Scumbag Court, no longer representing the Rule of Law or the INTENT of the constitution.
DefundNPR 👎👎👎 🖕🖕🖕
They realize this affects any votes FOR THEM as well, right? Idiots....
This needs to be changed? Many states have this policy! JoeBiden, I’m curious, what will you do to see that EVERY vote counts?
I dont understand why this is an issue. EVERYONE knows the election is in November. People wanting to vote should be more responsible and start earlier. If you wait until the last minute you still have an option to vote in person. Be Responsible!
These origionalists on the court will take voting rights back to when only white male land owners were the ones who could vote. That's where we're headed.
So what is going to stop WI gop from making sure that all votes are counted, they could slow roll the process to count dem ballots. Sounds like voter suppression. All ballots postmarked by election day or dropped off by election day should be counted no matter how long it takes
Except studies have shown that neither political party are significantly boosted via things like this, as both Republicans and Democrats extensively utilize mail in ballots. So this isn't a win for Republicans, or Democrats, but for voter suppression.
VOTE EARLY IN PERSON FOR BIDENHARRIS
Victory is an odd word. Making it harder for people to vote is unamerican - no matter which party you support. Voter suppression is insulting to the average voter
The Supreme Court seat held by Kavenaugh was worth its weight in gold. -GOP
It's just right, remember laws and order, I'm swiss but sorry it's for everybody, are the democrats are the republicans or other communities...
JoshMankiewicz And they are challenging early counting in Nevada. It is absurd ...the counting deadlines have been around before this year. NJ has a 7 day period
More suppression. Do you feel your country slipping away? Poland, Brazil, Phillipines, Russia et al
if Trump loses, you know he’s going to say this is why.
THIS WILL ONLY HURT REPUBLICANS..
Good
CorderoBarkley For all the Dems whining about this. Let’s put this in sports terms, after the clock has expired (election day) do we decide to alter the score because a team was eventually going to score. No. A deadline is final!
As long as the votes are received by election day what possible excuse is there from GOPHypocrites for not counting votes cast by American Citizens in an election?
GOP Voter Suppression Tactics: 1. Gerrymandering 2. Signature Analysis and Comparisons 2. Setting up Fake Ballot Boxes 4. Bogus Rule Changes 5. US Postal Service Manipulation 6. Armed “Poll Watchers” 7. Voter Intimidation For fear America may fall back to Democracy
Ok Wisconsin show America Democracy still can work with your hands tied. Vote Early.
Supreme Court suppresses the vote.
Setback for Wisconsin voters & democracy.
I love that the Republican Party dubs itself as the party for “true patriots.” Patriots ensure that ALL people have a vote and that their vote MATTERS. This is election rigging 101. allvotesmatter
A victory for Republicans... The only reason you frame that as a victory for Republicans, is because the Democrats intend to cheat. You're telling on yourself
The GOP is all about suppressing and delegitimizing the common mans vote ! It’s the only way they can sustain their objectives 😡
This is how you steal an election.
Well sure, this is what Kavanagh was put there for. Side with Republicans no matter what. Integrity? Honor? What are those. This is disgusting.
It was fun, democracy.
DeJoy killed any confidence that Wisconsin voters might have once had that their ballots might arrive on time to be counted, and Kavanaugh just buried any notions that Republicans are concerned with protecting voters during a pandemic. VoteThemAllOut VoteEarly
Get ready for more. Dems, it’s time to fight back.
BUT THE POST OFFICE.... REALLY! THE FRICKIN POST OFFICE!!!
So in America, thanks to Trump and the GOP Senators, the American people, no longer have the right to vote.
He can’t win if he doesn’t cheat. He cheated on his wives. He cheated in his taxes. He cheated his way out of Vietnam. SerialCheater PathologicalLiar
Why does Louis DeJoy still have a job? He & the BoG that installed him need to be *personally financially* responsible for not only the sorting machines they’ve ruined, but the losses to the American public. DeJoy has a vested interest in USPS completion, to boot.
Did you really expect anything different? Supreme Court must not have lifetime appointments.
Trump votes won't be counted either. They have no idea which envelope is holding a vote for them or against them. Silly rabbits.
Republicans don’t want Americans to vote because they lose when we do. How many ways do they need to show it, how much outright voter suppression and cheating do you need to witness before you and everyone in the media calls a spade a spade?
ahh so the highest court in the land actually proving the point of people when they say “my vote doesnt count”
republicanAlwaysCheat
Well, here we go ... 🙄
DemocRATS want to keep voting until their Fraud gets to the right number
Told you folks court appointments have nothing to do with Roe v Wade. Agenda is to control we the people, voting, law suits, shield laws
“A victory for republicans” - how fucked up is that?
Another reason among many to vote every Republican out of office. VoterSupression ScotusSham GOPCorruptionOverCountry
KAVANAUGH CITED AN ARTICLE THAT SAYS STATES SHOULD EXTEND IT THOUGH. HE IS CORRUPT AF!

Hey, NPR, you know how you guys have always been like trying to play both sides? Do you think maybe now that fascism is on the march that it might be OK for you to come out on the side of progress and the opposite of fascism?
What supreme court ? The one that works for the Cult leader?
drkatraphael It is a sad day in this Country from nothing more then a bunch of partisan hacks
People of Wisconsin, if you have secure ballot boxes, use them. Or, take to your elections office. If you feel safe enough, vote in person. Beat these vile, despicable republicans at their own game.
AgeCapSCOTUS
Whenever anyone anywhere wants to make your vote not count, or make it harder to vote, that person is ALWAYS a republican. Why are republicans so afraid of democracy?
This is truly getting out of hand (not that it wasn't already).
RAMRANTS now do PA
Even if you are republican you should not be defending this.
Imagine if 70% of those votes are republican voters.. 🤦♀️
The bullshit has already started.
Republican judges vote to allow suppression of Democratic votes, thus ensuring more Republicans get elected to appoint Republican judges who will to vote to allow suppression of Democratic votes, so government of the people, by the people will disappear from this Earth.

Vote in person on November 3rd. Problem solved. Don’t act like you don’t have $12 for an ID that’s good for years. You need one for alcohol, owning a vehicle and a place to live.
Supposedly they are allowed to be counted in all 50 states if they are postmarked or deposited in a drop box by 8 pm November 3.
This is voter fraud.
Of course SCOTUS voted in favor of the criminal trump
I reject the idea that the Supreme Courtsis allowed to extend the time needed to make decisions. From now on, all decisions must be made between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on a Monday. If a justice fails to write an opinion with a minimum 2,000 words sans error, the justice is fired.
Of course they are. All the more reason to E x p a n d t h e S u p r e m e C o u r t, JoeBiden! The GOP is evil and nasty. Fight Mr. 'You're fired' with FIRE!
Well this is an interesting decision of collusion with that scumbag rat running the post office because Wisconsin is not delivering mail what normally takes two days to get to friends in Wisconsin hasn't been delivered in four weeks
If you don’t think this is voter suppression you are honestly just so uneducated it isn’t funny.
If the ballot was stamped by Election Day, then it should be counted. That is it. Trump slowing down the USPS & with this judgement, Democracy loses. Do you see how Trump has planned voting suppression & election interference?
Trump's kangaroo court
You misspelled Republicans, “White supremacists”
Vote in person. Stop being lazy.
The FascistSupremeCourt is FeelingItsOats The RightWingSupremeCourt is Illegal
Workers in Wisconsin are that incompetent that they needed 6 additional days to count? Good job to the Supreme Court on this decision and upholding election integrity.
The GOP is slowly stripping away democracy
republicans are literally attacking the principles of democracy. they know if everyone had an equal chance to vote they would not win bc their policies aren’t appealing to the majority of ppl, so they openly are trying to suppress the vote. it’s shameful. they only care abt power
Are we fuck**g surprised. It was written in that calendar; with squishy ans EJ. All liking beer. Well know we’ll get it through our asses and this is just the start.
Buckleup36 Now the republicans tried to cheat in 2019 pulling the same 💩 and Their Asses still LOST BIG. Keep it up republicans.
Pack the courts, cause your vote is already on the chopping block. Every wonder why voting in Colorado isn’t a hassle, it starts with B, and ends with BLUE STATE👏🏼
The Republicans are once again, stealing an election from under our noses. Because they cannot win any other way. Vote vote VOTE in numbers too big to manipulate & cheat. Vote early & in person or drop your absentee/mail-in ballot at an official drop box! IChooseAmerica
I hope the Court reviewed the “voter suppression” via the post office slowdown and cutbacks.
Victory for Americans, not a victory for republicans. It’s Election Day; not election week....
It's a dark day in America.
U can’t argue with a idiot or a bot. They are one in the same. Lots of elderly people haven’t went to the store in months. Some have their kids or grandkids setting groceries on the porch because their scared to go to the store. So they will be mailing their ballots in.
Drop your damn ballots off already. It’s not that hard. This isn’t the year for BS.
🚨Correction🚨 A victory for this constitutional republic and its citizens.
And, it has begun
damn shes moving FAST huh!
Not a victory for any party its simple they by the courts opinion see enough time.
So it starts....
Thanks Roberts for not cucking on this one
And what? They are just not going to count votes that were legally cast? That’s voter suppression.
Republicans voted by mail too! It's an affront on US. AN UNDERMINING OF DEMOCRACY!
pmsmom61 so popular, they have to suppress your vote 2 win. so righteous, almost all they ever do, is lie..
Don't worry, they won't be needed.
NEW FLASH: We don't listen to the supreme court anymore.
Didn’t the court rule that they can’t count ballots RECEIVED after Election Day? They can still count ballots after Election Day if they were received before. Misleading headline.
Adjustments need to be made as we navigate this new normal...including voting
That bribe must have been very juicy.
The only good Republican politician is an unemployed Republican politician. Vote these enemies of democracy out.
So we as a country are at the point where suppressing votes is a victory.
A victory for Republicans is a loss for Democracy.
Get used to it. 2 conservative SCOTUS seats because of 🌹 temper tantrums.

This is utter bullshit. Unconstitutional. Deprives people of their vote. WisconsinForBiden VoteBlue VoteEarly VoteInPerson
Too many ppl carried out their civic duty flooding the broken system. Acting before a stable plan was in place sounds like great way to run a democracy. Dems we need to get our act together.
This will be an evergreen tweet.
Just get in there and make it happen. Get to the polls and vote. Make sure your vote is counted. Wisconsin, hire people if you need to just make sure the votes are counted
Democracy is a joke in the USA.
Correction. A victory for a fair election.
It’s 2000 all over again.
Good, how it should be
A victory for Americans!
So, do they not see a scenario in which Biden is leading by a couple points on election night with both mail in, early voting and same day voting but absentee votes from GOP districts haven’t arrived yet? In a way, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Poetic justice
Sad to see when you read opposite opinions in the ruling and it’s the same as a political agenda in a supposedly non partisan branch.
Vote now, vote in person! Don’t let them stop us from winning! 💙💙💙
So, in-person ballots can be counted after Election Day, but mail-in ballots cannot? Same rules should apply to both choices of voting. But I forgot...voter supression. Wisconsin is a red state and Supreme Court has right-wing majority. No surprise here.
Shame on the SCOTUS There is no law that votes must be immediately counted! This is Not what a Democracy looks like! This is what brown nosers & VoterSuppression looks like!
This is what I mean when I say Democracy is done and over with in America with this Barrett confirmation; Conservative voter suppression can now legally run rampant in our country; and if you think that this is the most Conservatives will do, you’re sorely mistaken.
Why do the republicans not want every vote counted? Are they so sure that if the people are heard that they will lose?
Here we go...
Americans... are we ready to lose our democracy and become an authoritarian state? 7 days left till Nov 3. It’s not enough to win, we need to win by such overwhelming numbers trumps Supreme Court can’t hand him the country
If you haven’t already voted, DON’T mail your ballot. Either vote in person, or bring your ballot to a polling location to drop it off. Do NOT use the post office if you can help it at all. Vote BidenHarris2020 Vote2020 BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica TrumpIsCompromised
Are Republicans quicker at math or am I missing the joke here 🤔
And so it begins...
Well that didn't take long. First f-you to American democracy from the brand new Supreme Court.
I support Dems but this vote is ok. Get your ass out and vote. No excuses.
This is now a worthless as Court. They might as well be in rural Mississippi.
Tyranny
And it begins.
Are they going to cut off counting ballots received by end of election day if they're not done yet? The SCOTUS is really screwed up.
This is why Democrats pushed soo hard for mail in ballots. To they cab just keep finding more and more until they win
We need TERM LIMITS on supreme court judges!!!!
If we weren’t in a pandemic this would be a different story, but since we are the courts should allow 5 extra business days. Shame on them.
That's bad news for democracy
Of course they did, not surprised. VoterSuppression
msjuliap WE NEED SENATE TERMS, CONGRESS TERMS AND SUPREME COURT TERMS LIMITS. WE MUST DO THIS BEFORE WE DON'T HAVE A REPUBLIC LEFT.
Right. Because we can’t ensure people are all allowed to vote during a pandemic, which by the way is lorded over by a tyrannical lunatic who breaks the mail chain, so fewer mail-in votes get through. We need to ensure only GOP fools who vote in crowds get their votes counted.
Exhibit No. 9462853 proving once again that the United States does not have legitimate elections.
More of a reason to vote in person, or don’t mail in your ballot a week before the election. Lazy!
This shit’s not alright.
Expect this to be the norm with ACB now on the court
Why do Republicans not want people to vote?
People need to get their asses in gear and mail/drop off their ballots. This isn’t a victory for republicans because their ballots won’t be counted either, ha.
DNC and Fake News Industrial Complex have a full court press to flood the zone with illegal ballots, lawyers and countless shenanigans. DNC BidenLeaks BidenCrimeFamiily WalkAway BidenBeHidin
A defeat for democracy.
Why would anyone want to be in a political party that can only win elections by preventing people from voting?
a loss for the people. g' damn I despise these Republicans
Voting should be an intentional act that requires a certain amount of personal responsibility and isn’t something to be taken lightly. If someone can’t mail their vote so it arrives on time that’s on them. We shouldn’t have to always accommodate to the lowest common denominator.
Is it really that shocking that Confederates, I mean Republicans enjoy watching hundreds of thousands of Americans die?

Hurrah! A victory for fans of voter suppression everywhere!
REPUBLICANS CHEATING AS ALWAYS!! THIS FUCKING GOP NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED!!SenateGOP
This is not a victory
abolishJudges
I guess they’ll just show up to the polls
A victory for AMERICA. NPR... Nakedly Progressive Radio.
This is great
It’s a victory for Republicans to limit ballots? It’s a loss for democracy.
ruh roh
It’s a victory for anyone with the ability to be able to vote within the time given. Why would they want to extend the time to accept votes to after the election if not to facilitate fraud?
Why is less voting and less democracy a Republican win, and more voting and more democracy is a Democrat win? When did that happen? Seriously.
With adulthood comes certain responsibilities. Paying your bills on time. Getting to work on time. Getting your ballot in on time. It's not rocket science.
this seems very cool and normal
A victory for common sense. Would’ve been 6 to three if ACB were on the court.
So now, having joined the ranks of voter suppressionists, the SCOTUS is complicit in the effort. There's so little integrity left anywhere, gotta' wonder how so many ppl were raised with so little strength of character. Who failed them: parents, teachers, or society?🤔
Of course they did Bc republicans are all about cheating ..
Own it Republicans. Why is it a win exactly? Because the only way you win is to suppress our votes anyway you can. Power hungry greedy traitors. No patriots left.
This will backfire
And now it starts
If you cast the vote, the vote should be counted. If you do not think someone who cast a vote should be counted, then you are supporting voter suppression. If this is a victory for republicans, then republicans are facists.
DROP OFF YOUR BALLOTS in a legal drop box, or take them to your county clerk or auditors office.
Why exactly is this a victory for them
PattyArquette Why are you framing this as a political victory for a party? This is about VOTERS.
And a loss for democracy and a majority of Americans
Fascism won't be tolerated in this country.
Hey fellow Democrats, brace yourselves, we are once again going to get fucked and the election is going to go to Tramp and the infected Republicans. Same old shit, we sit back and accept punches to the nose. We should have impeached Barr to head off Barretts' nomination process!
And so it begins.
“A victory for Republicans” 😒 How is this a victory for Republicans? This decision affects REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC VOTERS. Snap the fuck out of it!!!! This is a FUCKED UP DECISION regarding voting rights for ALL VOTERS despite the case being fought by Democrats!
Just go vote, don't leave it up to the mail system. Get the hog out of office.
“A victory for Republicans.” Because Republicans win when people don’t or can’t vote. Remember that.
Wow and the Disastrous Supreme Court are already on their way ruining everything
By not extending the time, the elections office will be overwhelmed, and more chance of mistakes or miscounting. This is so wrong.
trump's Supreme Court seems determined to take away our Constitutional rights!
What else is new...2020 is truly the pickle on my crap sandwich...
Historical moment with first ever woman to be sworn in by two purported sexual predators !!!!
1. Appoint a lackey to USPS 2. Dismantle ballot sorting machines 3. Predict the failure of the mail system 4. Facilitate the failure of the mail system 5. Fight to toss out ballots if they are late 7. Do all this while claiming the only way you can lose is because of fraud
This isn't a bipartisan issue! This is an what the fuck is this issue You should be pissed as an American of The United States.
The republican party needs to be officially disbanded. It's obvious they do not believe in democracy and are corrupted to their souls.
And we did it 5-3 with 8 judges bra
And so the treason and theft of our democracy begins.
The votes need to be counted.
Voter suppression is a win for republicans? I think your personal opinion is trash and you shouldn't tarnish the name of your political party because of a poorly made decision.
What makes Wisconsin so much better than the other 49 states that play by the rules?
People have had months to get their ballots ready. People can either get their butts in gear or lose their vote. 🙄🙄
Or these morons could just vote in a timely manner.
No victory here. Just assholes
Again we have one party wanting to follow the rules, and one complaining about the rules. Reminds me of “but but but Hillary won the POPULAR vote! The electoral college isn’t fair!!! He’s not my President!!!”
As they should, I got my ballot 2 weeks ago, filled it out the day I got it, and mailed it back the next day. Then I went to the track my ballot website, and confirmed my ballot has been received. Quick and simple here in Utah.
PattyArquette Of COURSE THEY DID!
Glad the gauge for victory is losing votes
Or vote early, mail early, or show up to vote on the day....
So is it that hard to get your ballot in 6 days AFTER an election?
So there you have it, democracy is being stolen right before our eyes. The Supreme court is now corrupt and is doing the bidding of Trump and Republicans.
Why does it favor anyone? Everyone knows this has been an issue for a long time. Kind of silly to complain now, sorry.
So it makes no difference that this HAS been done in other states?
One solution: VoteEarly Wisconsin!
Drop it at your ballot box at City Hall. Or simply go and vote these communist treasonous criminals we have in the great state of Wisconsin in person. Democracy is on the line right now we got to make it happen! We have a dictator wannabe be in the White House
PattyArquette When the Supreme Court cannot next trusted to be fair and impartial we are truly lost
No, a victory for our republic.
ceejay410 Can they reappeal?
We're probably going to see a recount either way so people will get their vote counted on the second time.
Better to start counting than be swamped with ballots, at least that won't be so much of a hassle considering the state is getting hit hard by COVID.
Good. They have enough time until the 3rd of November.
A victory for Republicans = VoterSuppression
DeJoy and Trump blocked the mailin ballots by delaying the mail and now Trump’s Republican Supreme Court blocks the ballots that got through their slow mail from being counted. This isn’t a Democracy. It’s just another Autocracy. Our votes mean nothing.
“Less people will be able to vote.” = A win for Republicans...
Fascists hate it when everyone votes.
...and so it begins.
“A victory for republicans” That says it all about who is trying to suppress votes.
Boo hoo hoo! They're giving us less time to cheat!
Good.
You’d think they’d want to make it easier for people to vote, not harder. I wonder why it’s considered “a victory” for republicans 🤔
Vote in person Wisconsin or vote by mail ASAP if you must. VoteEarly
No NPR. Counting can proceed as long as necessary. But only ballots received by election day get counted. Did your 'journalists' fail English?
Because they know they are losing.
More voter suppression. Always and forever these douchebags have tried to rob Americans of their voice and their vote. There are repercussions to be dealt with...
If limiting voting is a victory for your party thats just sad
Hey our Republican supreme court at work already suppressing democracy!
Of course they did. The far right is in that court now. There will be no fairness and justice. It will be mandates dictated by the right. It’s the only way republicans can win. It’s called cheating. The Supreme Court ain’t so supreme anymore.
Horrible. Every vote should count. Either way.
If the ballot is received by election day they have to count it
So to our military abroad: Trump treats you as suckers and losers. If your vote won't make it in from overseas, tough luck. This administration cannot win fair and square. They are bullies, domestic terrorists that you swore to protect us from, vote now!
Anyone else notice that republicans always seem to fall on the side of voter suppression? So now our election integrity relies on a USPS that is being delibrately undermined.
Good the dems will have to work faster at stuffing those ballot boxes.
Just puts some press on the usps to actually deliver mail in a timely fashion. It’s not that big a state; they can get it together and deliver it
I hope the majority of late votes are for trump.
I mean why would they need extra time? Have they not been on social media or watching tv lately? Every thing you see has something to do with voting.
A hefty lefty attempt has become oh so costly for our democracy. Only the beginning of what’s to loom with these socialist af agenda
And a defeat for democracy.
The GOP only knows how to cheat and suppress to win elections. Vote them all out.
How is that a win
Because fuck the every vote counts mantra
How is that a victory? Unless republicans don’t give a shit about Americans right to vote....oh.
No, a victory for get your ballot in in a timely manner to minimize cheating
Voter suppression in full effect!
When can we call in the UN observers that make sure elections in 3rd world countries are free and fair. We are way past the need for help.
It’s just the beginning....
No, a Victory for us all ! 🇺🇸
Bet something will change on Nov. 4th if Trump isn’t leading.
When I mailed in my ballot there was a rule,a limit,a law about what the deadline was to use the mail in Option. If Ivmissed the deadline,I had to use another option like early voting, absentee voting, or in-person voting. This law seems to apply to EVERYONE. whats the problem?
why is this a victory for them? Why don’t they want all citizens’ votes counted?
Gop lead scotus already in action
No a victory for the country.
Voices will be silenced. A victory for Republicans.
And a victory for the rule of law, but whatever. I am so embarrassed for pamelafessler is such a hack
Ditch the horserace bullshit and defend democracy...or perhaps just keep phrasing it like it's some partisan fight, 'Democrats want more voters, Republicans fewer. Who will win?!' Basically nothing riding on the outcome, right?
A victory for voters, since it reduces opportunity for fraud.
Good. Plenty of options to vote before and as of the day of ejection. No reason to create chaos. Vote responsibly and on time.
Call your friends and family so that you can tell them to mail their ballots in tomorrow or ASAP. Every vote needs to count.
Trump will steal this election
Democrats trying every trick to cheat
Why do Republicans hate our democracy?
Watch JLightbearer's broadcast: Join ✍ Write In Candidates for President and Vice-President Quest to UNSEAT realDonaldTrump --Endorsed by AUTHORIZED FEC 'Jason Lightbearer Edwards For President'
During a pandemic - how about framing it for what it is, VoterSuppression
hechizante777 Hopefully Dems will continue to vote early and these will be Trump votes lost.
The GOP knows they can’t win on merits alone. Steal, cheat, lie, bully is there strategy.
Of course they did. Republicans will work to suppress your vote. Always. Our SCOTUS is corrupt.
pbrodzin my point exactly. It’s only just begun.
This shouldn’t be a victory for anyone. This is a loss for democracy.
It would be nice if the same rules applied everywhere. Then it would be less confusing trying to figure out any of this stuff.
Republicans are lazy and wait till the last minute. So this will hurt them most.
I think they learned a few things from watching the vote fraud going on in Minnesota next door
And a travesty for American voters.
Evil.
Excellent!
Victory for the people
Forget voting by mail. If you are physically able, put your mask on and get yourself to the polls in person. Many states are open for early voting. This election is too important to rely on a postal service that’s been hijacked.
Why was the extension needed and why did the court not grant it?
You know Republicans are horrible and generally unpopular, when uncounted votes are considered a victory for the party 🙄
Folks just need to get their ballots in. No need to wait until the last minute. You get your ballot, fill it out and mail it in that day. Why wait?
No, a victory for the Constitution. Cheating is never good for America.
Wow.
That sounds right
This is getting fuck'n enbarrassing.
Democrats who already voted should stand in line to vote on Election Day and then say “oops i forgot i already voted” when they get to the front of the line, essentially creating a giant denial of service attack to make up for all the systematic disenfranchisement.
That goes against federal statute…Dec. 8, 2020: Deadline for Resolving Election Disputes. All state recounts and court contests over presidential election results must be completed by this date. (3 U.S.C. § 5).
Not sure how this is a republican victory. It affects rep and dem voters.
And a loss for America.
Stealing peoples votes is 'a victory for the Republicans' How depressing
Fraud is already happening. It’s so disgusting. They are going to steal this thing for Trump it’s insane.
Republicans do not want us to vote, because they know their policies are unpopular and the vast majority of us don’t want them.
Republicans hate democracy
What does it say that “a victory for Republicans” is voter suppression?
There’s the fair way...and the Republican way.
america is not a democracy
If you're Republican you're gonna have to explain to me why you think making it harder for people to vote is American. Besides the fact you know you can't win if everyone has a voice.
Imagine that they might as well just make Trump president for life it’ll be constitutional
Sorry guys your deep state and your swamp has been drained Trump's going to win the popular vote
Since the rollback of the voter rights act, the court continues to limit Voter Rights.
Says something about the gop that not counting ballots cast is a victory for them.
Funny how all the “Republican Victories” seem to limit voting access. Sure sounds like democracy to me.
We’ll pack that f*cking SC for the next generation.
The GOP is all about voter suppression and disenfranchisement. They only like rich white straight people voting. Eff them all.
See...it's already happening.
Really. Good move Wisconsin.
A loss for those voters affected. A loss for Democracy.
Unreal
Good. Absolutely no reason for any extension.
This is a taste of things to come. Elections have consequences. People need to vote this Tuesday.
Republican cheaters
Good!
