NC’s mail-in ballot acceptance extension OK'd by US courts, but fight could go to Supreme Court
Fox News ^ | October 21 2020 | Evie Fordham

North Carolina's mail-in ballot acceptance deadline can be pushed back, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday night, but opponents of a deadline extension could try to take their fight to the Supreme Court.

“All ballots must still be mailed on or before Election Day,” the ruling states, according to the News & Observer. “The change is simply an extension from three to nine days after Election Day for a timely ballot to be received and counted."

Where that Biden Judge, Traitor Roberts, will let this issue pass.

If it goes to the SC just make sure ACB is seated first so turncoat Roberts is nullified.

Doesn’t Barret join the court on Monday?
They need to revisit that awful PA ruling.

If the ballot is mailed by election day, how is this not legitimate. There has to be an endpoint to arrival rules. You can’t hold up the result waiting for weeks, but this is really not a big deal. The person voted by end of day election day.

The only reason we oppose this is we think they will be Dem votes. We are seeing rather large GOP VBM results coming in. Why is this opposed?

Yes, we need Amy to revisit the PA debacle, thanks to Chief Justice Roberts and to also rule regarding NC!!

Hopefully, Amy will join with Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

If it goes to SC make sure it goes there after next Tuesday when Amy is sworn in to overcome the 4 court liberals. Yes, John “Souter” Roberts is now officially sleeping with the other three liberal fleas on the court

Well, he’s been dipping his wick in that patch for some time now; I guess he’s going all in from here on out.

The question is, how do you know the ballot was mailed on or before Nov.3? I have heard conflicting information about postmarks. Some say, pre-paid mail such as ballots do not receive a postmark. I don’t know if that is true or not. What happens if ballots are found outside their mailing envelopes? How do you prove when they were mailed?

The court of appeals is not the legislature. The constitution says the state legislatures determine the rules. The ‘court’ can go pound sand. They don’t get to make law or change laws. Period.
