Election certification deadlines

Safiel · 2020-10-29T04:14:37.204Z

Trump tweets results MUST be final by November 3.

Sorry, ■■■■ for brains, it doesn’t work that way and never will.

States can specify whatever deadline they ■■■■■■■ please, bound only by the Constitutional mandate that Presidential Electors must give their vote on December 14th, meaning the election must be defacto certified by December 13th.

There will be NO official results until the States certify those results in accordance with their State law.

Trump can get bent if he doesn’t like it.

Trump doesn’t even grasp simple things from the constitution.

November 3 is Election Day. Not make the election final day.

Excellent post sir. Informative as always.

Some Trump supporters think that the who won calls they see election night on the boob tube are some kind of “official” announcement about the race.

They are not and have never been.

I support counting all valid ballots and having accurate results (no matter who wins) over disenfranchising voters and a fast count.

Great news! That means the beloved men and women serving in the military overseas who have sent their ballots in will have their votes counted. Every legal vote cast before the closing of polls on Election Day should all be counted.

Sknyluv · 2020-10-29T13:54:17.119Z

And now PA.

Imagine being a President and this ignorant.

Imagine

Interesting issue could be possible next week. What will happen with all those who are planning to vote in person on election day in states with COVID surges?

Tough luck unless you line up before the polls close.

We dems feel real, real sorry for those who didn’t plan ahead or live in liberal state which sends ballots to everybody.

Them is the breaks.

I doubt the courts will see it that way.

The congress determines Election Day. Not SCOTUS.

WuWei:

Why would the courts get involved because people voting in person have to wait in line, even if its for hours, as long as they are allowed to vote as long as they are in line before the normal closing time?

Or are you saying that some states will say “tough you didn’t plan ahead so we won’t let you vote”?

3 day extension in Pennsylvania is not even an issue, as they don’t certify until November 11th, which is 8 days after the election.

WuWei · 2020-10-29T18:48:33.593Z

The latter.

WuWei · 2020-10-29T18:49:00.437Z

Winding up the base.

Sknyluv · 2020-10-29T18:50:32.330Z

WuWei:

Winding up the base.

This implies that his base wasn’t already “wound up”.

WuWei · 2020-10-29T18:58:01.857Z

Can never have the base too wound up.

Speak of Trump’s base, do you think his base has gotten larger since 2016?
