U.S. Supreme Court declines to consider Texas Democrats’ request to allow all Texans to vote by mail

Mail-in ballots guarantee that the Democrats will commit voter fraud. This must be stopped. Listen to AG Barr discuss the dangers of large scale mail-in ballots. The fraud would be huge.

AG Bar in an interview last Sunday with Maria Baritromo: …. when government, state governments start adopting these practices like mail-in ballots that open the floodgates of potential fraud, then people’s confidence in the outcome of the election is going to be undermined. And that could take the country to a very dark place, if we lose confidence in the outcomes of our elections.

BARTIROMO: Well, there’s a big discussion right now about mail-in voting.

BARR: Yes.

BARTIROMO: Hillary Clinton said, it’s fine, it’s fair.

BARR: Well, it absolutely opens the floodgates to fraud. Those things are delivered into mailboxes. They can be taken out.

There’s questions about whether or not it even denies a secret ballot, because a lot of the states have you signing the outside of the envelope. So, the person who opens — person who opens the envelope will know how people voted.

There’s no — right now, a foreign country could print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots, and be very hard for us to detect which was the right and which was the wrong ballot.

So, I think it can — it can upset and undercut the confidence in the integrity of our elections. If anything, we should tighten them up right now.

U.S. Supreme Court declines to consider Texas Democrats’ request to allow all Texans to vote by mail

By: Texas Tribune, June 26, 2020:

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an initial bid by state Democrats to expand voting by mail to all Texas voters during the coronavirus pandemic.

Justice Samuel Alito — whose oversight of federal courts includes cases coming through Texas — on Friday issued the court’s denial of the Texas Democratic Party’s request to let a federal district judge’s order to expand mail-in voting take effect while the case is on appeal. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery ruled in May that Texas must allow all voters fearful of becoming infected at polling places to vote by mail even if they wouldn’t ordinarily qualify for mail-in ballots under state election law. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed Biery’s order while Texas appeals his ruling.

The decision means the state’s strict rules to qualify for ballots that can be filled out at home will remain in place for the July 14 primary runoff election, for which early voting starts Monday. Under current law, mail-in ballots are available only if voters are 65 or older, cite a disability or illness, will be out of the county during the election period or are confined in jail.

Still left pending is the Democrats separate request for the justices to take up their case before the November general election. The party’s case focuses primarily on the claim that the state’s age restrictions for voting by mail violate the 26th Amendment’s protections against voting restrictions that discriminate based on age.

The court’s only comment on the decision came from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said she agrees with the ruling but indicated the Democrats’ case “raises weighty but seemingly novel questions regarding the Twenty-Sixth Amendment” and urged the appeals court to consider the case in a timely manner before the general election.

“But I hope that the Court of Appeals will consider the merits of the legal issues in this case well in advance of the November election,” Sotomayor said.

In order for someone to vote by mail in the July 14 primary runoffs, counties must receive their application for a mail-in ballot by July 2. A favorable decision for Democrats by the Supreme Court by early October could still allow for a massive expansion in voting by mail during the November general election.

In his initial ruling, Biery agreed with individual Texas voters and the Texas Democratic Party that voters would face irreparable harm if existing age eligibility rules for voting by mail remain in place for elections held while the coronavirus remains in wide circulation. And he agreed with the plaintiffs’ argument that the age limitation violates the U.S. Constitution because it imposes additional burdens on voters who are younger than 65 during the pandemic.

In his appeal to the 5th Circuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that Biery’s injunction threatened “irreparable injury” to the state “by injecting substantial confusion into the Texas voting process mere days before ballots are distributed and weeks before runoff elections.”

The Supreme Court is hedging their bets….just like they are not hearing gun right cases…
Changing the definition of gender was okay which redefined the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
They aren’t fooling people… They don’t want to be too obvious. They are gradually destroying us.
We don’t need Muslim terrorists attacks. We are destroying ourselves from within without any outside help needed.

Off topic There’s a new game in town – “polar bear hunting”

Black Lives Matter Restarts “Polar Bear Hunting” Program – Michigan Authorities Charge 18-Year-Old Black Male Damire Palmer for Unprovoked Violent Attack Against White Macy’s Employee…
Posted on June 26, 2020 by sundance

Similar to the well-known “knock out” game, violent black males began attacking random white people as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. The objective is to violently beat any random white person while a friend or ally films the brutality. It is also known as “polar bear hunting’. CTH identified 28 victims in 2014 alone. [Typical Example]

This is part of the BLM Marxist program of retaliation. Sometimes rape, gang sexual assault, or severe brutalization are part of the effort. This activity has laid dormant for a few years but surfaces again with the rise of the Black Lives Matter community.

If the random white person does not accept the beating, they are racist.

( You read that right. If you are white, you should willingly and humbly accept your random beating as you are filmed simply because you are white. No provocation is needed. )

The media are allies in this BLM project. Anyone who does not willfully submit to the BLM effort, is castigated as the source of their own brutality.

The latest example in Michigan ends with a familiar sentence:
“Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence to support a hate-crime charge.”

[Michigan] – Michigan authorities have charged an 18-year-old black man for the “unprovoked,” caught-on-video assault of a white Macy’s manager, officials said.

Is the court setting the left up for a shut down if they deviate from standard election procedures? I hope so! Or are they just playing God and setting themselves up to decide the outcome?

With the addition of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, the Court is on a roll.

Try living down here in Texas in close proximity to the Mexican border unarmed, I dare anyone.

Be safe, be trained, be alert.

I agree that the integrity of our elections needs to be maintained. To that, IMO, assurance of the chain of custody would be an attribute and operational activity I would adopt.
