, but did nothing to hasten the lawsuit’s conclusion.against the state, claiming a law New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed late last month violates the U.S. Constitution and federal statutes pertaining to Election Day.“[The law] conflicts with those statutes because it allows votes to be canvassed starting 10 days before Election Day and allows mail-in votes to be cast after Election Day,” the amended complaint states.
The law directs local election officials to count ballots that are received for up to a week after Election Day, as long as they’re postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 3. If the ballots are not postmarked, officials can count them if they’ve received them within two days of Nov 3.on Aug. 14 directing the state to hold the November election primarily by mail-in ballot, much like the July primary.
When the Trump campaign initially filed the lawsuit, one of its major arguments was that New Jersey’s Constitution only allows the state Legislature — not the governor — to determine how election are administered. That argument went out the window when the Democrat-controlled Legislature passed and the governor signed a bill,Now the Trump campaign is arguing the law itself runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution and federal statute — the same arguments it used against the executive order.
“Federal law prohibits canvassing ballots before Election Day. Because A4475 allows election officials to begin canvassing 10 days before the election, federal law preempts it,” the amended complaint states.Though the amended complaint seeks a permanent injunction and temporary restraining order to stop New Jersey from implementing the election plan, the Trump campaign has made no accompanying motion for the injunction.saying “I’m just not sure why this was not filed with any urgency.
I thought the Republicans were all about states rights...I guess the Trumpublicans aren’t so much.
Trump and Trumpism do not reflect Republican values. Trump and Trumpism do not reflect Conservative values. Trump and Trumpism do not reflect Christian values. He's a con who got conned. DonTheCon
Trying to steal the election
Don the con
He’s trying to disrupt the election.
There's no end in the ways Our Moron President is trying to cheat to win this election.
if you cant win...hire lawyers to sue for rule changes
Plus it's no fallacy that mail-in ballots have a much higher risk of fraud. Therefore, it’s no wonder why the Democrat party is really pushing during COVID to vote via mail. For example, 28 million mail-in ballots went missing in the last four elections.
This is understandable. People have received ballots addressed to deceased family members, that right there is giving an easy opportunity to vote more than twice.
Cheating in plan sight.
All they know how to do....sue.
Mail-in voting is a joke. No other developed countries have mail-in voting.
Trump wants you at t/poll to vote.Putin will not have to hack to get in he will have t/password to enter to inflate some numbers as 45 calls it rig.Fraud can be identified w/mail-in votes but electronically it's impossible as there is no paper trail that is how 45 won t/last time
That's why Trump campaign has no money. Wasting on lawsuits against states he has zero chance of winning
Now we know why theyve pulled ads from Ohio
Why doesn’t Trump want us to vote
What is he so afraid of? Russia not being able to interfere? If the people of New Jersey have the right to vote by mail, who is Trump to step in and try to stop it? Oh....trying on his dictator shoes. Only dictators try to control EVERYTHING people do.
Joe Biden has VANISHED!! He’s HIDING just 6 wks before the election!! The reason Democrats are pouring Bloomberg’s money into a Florida is because the Hispanic vote has shifted to Trump. It’s not a sudden thing. Hispanics (and Blacks) have been turning to the GOP since 2011.
There is no president who has sued his own country more than trump
GOOD. FUHK FRAUD!
At a time that this continues State by State, and the USPS is sending out false and misleading propaganda to the voting public, and the President continues to encourage voters to commit a felony while voting. Why isn’t everyone calling this voter suppression, plain and clear?
Their preference, of course, would be that no one in New Jersey (or elsewhere) voted at all. 'Twelve more years!'
Trump is a buffoon
Wait! These people are trying to literally wreck America?
If he spent even half the time trying to act like a President as he does bringing lawsuits against anything and everything, this country might actually be in a decent situation. 🙄
they're seriously filing a lawsuit to prevent people from voting?
While himself is voting by mail
realDonaldTrump Why can't we have a choice! Is this still a democracy
Good, Murphy’s suppressing our votes.
Good. Don’t let them under any circumstances do mail in voting. Traditional election!!!!!
The man is seriously deranged and in need of immediate professional assistance.
I would buy Trump's argument more if he didn't vote by mail himself repeatedly.
In a state where COVID is currently rapidly growing. This guy doesn't care about human lives. Where are the 'christians' and pro-lifers on this?
