I think federal law requires military ballots to be sent out at least 35 days before the election (I think, anyway). Since this was done at less than 35 days this might be an issue that gives the SCOTUS jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is the issue to worry about, in my opinion. If the supremes aren't given reason to find jurisdiction in this case, they will have to refuse it. Hope the Repubs have some legal sense in this matter.

I'm not sure about this, but that's not what the SCOTUS is hearing now. That issue was taken to the US District court (I think). Once again, there's been some bad reporting on this whole issue--I'm sure it because the RAT media wants to be able to spin it as needed once they know the results. You know they don't want to pick on the SCOTUS too much until they make their ruling (just in case they rule in their favor).
