"It was neither the intent of the Framers nor the intent of Congress that state executive officials, acting without legislative authority, may implement advance voting schemes that begin months in advance of the election date established by Congress, drag out for days past the election, vary widely from one state to another, and sometimes even vary from county to county within a state."And this:
"Similar usurpation occurred in of Georgia, in which the Secretary of State unilaterally abrogated the Legislature’s requirement concerning signatures and verification of absentee ballots and thereby set aside or “amended” state law.And this:"Likewise, the Michigan Secretary of State, without authority from the Legislature, unilaterally set aside state law and state constitutional provisions by sending unsolicited absentee ballots throughout the state.
"And similarly, the Wisconsin Election Commission and various mayors deliberately ignored Wisconsin statutes safeguarding ballot security by setting up over 500 unmanned dropboxes for the reception of absentee ballots."
"executive officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin usurped these powers without the Legislature’s consent. The changes this usurpation has made in our electoral system are nothing short of monumental, and because they have been made without proper safeguards, they have resulted in mass confusion, fraud, ballots lost, fake ballots found, ballots not counted, ballots counted multiple times, and much more, as the Brief of Texas substantiates. Such drastic changes should never have been made by hasty executive fiat."
I really love this...
