The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court order that would have cleared the way for more people in Alabama to vote by absentee ballot during the Covid-19 pandemic

The vote was 5-4. The liberal bloc of Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan noted their dissent.Alabama allows any registered voter to vote absentee. At issue in the case are state requirements that require a copy of a voter's identification to accompany an absentee ballot as well as a voter affidavit that has been notarized or signed by two witnesses.

The state says the measures were enacted to protect absentee ballot fraud and pointed out that during the pandemic it has taken"extraordinary measures," including issuing a state of emergency and entering a series of orders meant to protect health.Read MoreBut four voters who are elderly or disabled joined with voting rights groups to challenge the requirements, arguing they violated the right to vote. They also challenged the state's ban on curbside voting.

ANTI-AMERICAN DEMOCRATS False Accusations – Fake Investigations – Cheating – Lying ANTI-AMERICAN CNN False Accusations – Fake Investigations – Cheating – Lying Fake News...You Bet!

If the President of the United States can vote by absentee ballot, and he can get a free ride across the country whenever he wants, why can't the rest of citizens ?

Absentee ballot is just that absent and available for open fraud.

As it should have. If ya can go to the liquor store supermarket wearing mask. There’s no reason you can’t go to the voting booth. Just Dems way if cheating the American people

Only CNN is upset and why there are other ways to vote and it’s a red state anyways!

They say, if you cut Florida off at the panhandle and give to Alabama, it will increase the education level in both states.

GREAT!!!!!!!

Scotus disappointed. Voting is an fundamental RIGHT in our democracy (constitutional republic). Forcing someone to endanger their health in order to perform this right is unconstitutional. Repeated voter fraud studies have found almost NO voter fraud, including mail in voting.

Hi. I'm just enquiring as to where all of the stories covering the huge paedophile ring ran by Clinton et al and Ghislaine Maxwell being arrested etc. are? Do you have another site for real news at all please? Apart from voter fraud? Trump2020LandslideVictory

No reason you can go out to vote.

Good

Good

Why would they do this if there is a democracy? Ahhh, Got it now!

Please ensure Maxwell is safe from the Clinton machine and the FBI. We do not need her committing suicide like Epstein.

Depressing the VOTE, pretty tough stuff for the SCOTUS. But just a days work for POSPOTUS'SCOTUS.

If you can protest. You can vote.

Ah ha... Bill Barr

CNN is the sources of scourge. It bring USA disasters.

If you don't understand that voting by mail introduces mass levels of possible fraud, you're insane. Do you want to risk letting Trump cheat into winning?

Bunker baby judges in action. The People haven't seen anything yet.

Good - if people can riot, they can vote.

WINNING.

Just say it. We only care about our power and don't want to hear from You.

Get the shit out of your head SCOTUS.

Wrong!! They will now require a copy of a voter's identification to accompany an absentee ballot as well as a ...voter affidavit that has been notarized or signed by two witnesses. The need for affidavit is most ridiculous.

The US is about the only democratic country in the world that makes it MORE difficult for its citizens to vote. TRUE democracy would make every effort to ensure that every citizen had an opportunity to vote, and would take steps to make it easier to do so.

Good for them... Durring the day,,, how many does each polling place see? And how many stations at each? Do the numbers...

Why? That’s voter suppression!!

Ohhhhhh good!!! YES...because, blocking absentee voting would be a HUMANITARIAN thing to do for the country, taking people's lives into consideration during a horrific pandemic! We CERTAINLY don't want supreme court to stand up for a humanitarian effort, so, by ALL means block!

SenSusanCollins - thanks again!

This is why trump and his republithugs vote Kavanaugh in.

Example of why Trump is appointing judges as fast as he can.

One thing all Republicans hate is letting people vote. They all understand that if more people vote, Repubs will lose more races.

'At issue in the case are state requirements that require a copy of a voter's identification to accompany an absentee ballot as well as a voter affidavit that has been notarized or signed by two witnesses.'. Wee Bit excessive don't ya think?

Fraud

VoterSuppression

It's 2020, why can't US citizens just open and app and vote that way? Authenticate face to face with documents beforehand, get an ID, password and PIN then use 2 factor authentication. I bet you a 15 year old could write it up in a few hours.

Not surprising, but obviously disappointing. My theory is that the movement to oust Trump is so strong, voters will wait as long as it takes to cast their ballot. These decisions just add fuel to the passion to get the Republicans out of office.

There is no Justice in this TrumPutin nightmare

why does roberts HATE voters so very much?

The fix is in.

but yall want the general election to be mail in voting? makes sense if you have an agenda.

Advocates React to Supreme Court Abortion Ruling - Women’s Media CenterThe case was decided by a thin margin and demonstrates the need for Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, the proposed federal legislation that would protect a woman’s right to choose. Abortion is quickly becoming extinct, because a lot of people are praying the Rosary to end abortion. All religions were updated with the religion of Islam, it is the last religion the Lord sent to all human beings through the Prophet Muhammad and the rest of the religions are considered expired, so the Lord does not accept The Lord said: Whoever brings me a debt other than Islam? I will not accept it from him, therefore I invite you to Islam and follow the Prophet Muhammad
