Supreme Court rules Wisconsin mail-in ballots must be received by Nov. 3

The high court's decision upholding the appeals ruling came less than an hour before the U.S. Senate confirmed Trump nominee Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. She replaces Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month.

The decision was reached by the court's conservative majority, Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh. In dissent were its liberals, Kagan with Associate Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor. The decision comes amid a widening of the pandemic. The state reported Monday that more than 200,000 Wisconsinites have tested positive for the virus since the pandemic began. Nearly 1,800 have died, including 10 recorded on Monday.

I think United Nations election observers will probably come and see if everything is going right. As has long been happening in developing countries. I never would have thought that something like this could happen in the west. 

Voter suppression enhanced by the judiciary. 😡

I mean i was taught the polls closed at 9pm on Election Day. That was that. If you didn’t get it in you blew it. Why are we acting like this is catastrophic. Get to the polls, go to the BOE drop it off. Stop being whiners, and get it done. PERIODT.

Fuck the GOP

How is it possible for this decision to stand. This is America, not a totalitarian country.

Finally. The 'Cheat by Mail' Program by the Democrats must be stopped

WHAT IS IT? IS IT MONEY, POWER, GREED, IT’S GOT TO BE SOMETHING IS THE REASON WHY THE REPUBLICANS CHOOSE YOU! OH WAIT MAYBE YOU SLEPT WITH UGLY FAT TRUMP! YOU ALL WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW! TRYING TO CONTROL A COUNTRY YOU STOLE!!! GERMANY IS WHERE YOU ALL SHOULD BE!!

ALL BALLOTS MUST BE COUNTED!! LAW ENFORCEMENT MUST ENSURE A FAIR AND ACCURATE PROCESS.

Ridiculous. If it’s postmarked by the day if the election, they SHOULD count it

As it should be. Poor planning on your part doesn’t make in an emergency on my part.

This is unconstitutional. There's no way that all those votes will be able to be counted in time.

This Pix hen.... Nigerian won’t carry last - Igbo Kwenu!!

Hello good morning... Please i need more viewers on my WhatsApp... Free to text me +1(407) 972-6770 I don't snub messages

That is the right thing.

The way it should be. We should always know final results the day of the election.

My Trumper co-worker is insisting that she will not vote until election day, because that's the way she's always done it and that's the way it should be. I hope that she faces a 6 hour wait that day.

What about the military ballots coming from overseas that always take several weeks? Especially with the mail service intentionally handcuffed. We are turning into Russia. Fast.

'..Ginsburg and Stevens (writing separately) argued that for reasons of federalism, the Florida Supreme Court's decision ought to be respected. Moreover, the Florida decision was fundamentally right; the Constitution requires that every vote be counted..'

Bravo scotus !

Get your ballot in!!! No excuses!!!! We’ve had FOUR years to plan for this. No excuses

Get use to these type of rulings, folks don't even see what's happening right in front of their eyes. Republicans been packing the courts for four years. If Democrats win the majority I suggest do the same.

Absentee ballots should only have to be postmarked by Nov 3. Same as taxes being postmarked by April 15, the date mailed counts as the dated filed.

This current administration dismantled USPS process to slow mail delivery and now this SCOTUS could potentially disenfranchise thousands of voters. If your vote wasn’t that important why are they trying so hard to take it away! VOTE VoteHimOut VoteEarly ExpandSCOTUS

As it should be

Early and absentee voting for a month prior, how hard is it to get it done🤷🏻

5-3. No brainer.

good luck

Igbo man voting 😁

Good. Should be that way in EVERY state

Supreme Court Rejects Pandemic-Spurred Voting Changes in WisconsinThe Supreme Court declined to reinstate pandemic-related changes to voting rules in Wisconsin, a move that means mail-in ballots must be received by Election Day This is what happens when state courts think they are super legislators. Only the state legislature can make laws, the only role of the judicial is to enforce those laws, not change them at their whim. Weird how so much of what the GOP does makes it harder to vote, especially for folks who predominantly vote Democrat. So very weird. Weird weird weird A novel concept. Voting like the rest of us, before the end of Election Day...
