Conservative judges Barrett and Roberts joined the Democratic wing of the court to allow this electoral and legal insecurity

In a shameful and inexplicable ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on Monday, in a 5 to 4 vote, that states can count mail-in ballots that arrive at polling places even after Election Day, which represents a victory for electoral fraud and the Democratic Party.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion and stated that state laws allowing the counting of mail-in ballots after Election Day do not conflict with federal law. The Chief Justice, John Roberts, joined Barrett and voted alongside the court's left-leaning justices.

"A Mississippi law allows the counting of absentee ballots that are postmarked on Election Day but received up to five days later. We must decide whether the federal statutes regarding Election Day override Mississippi law. They do not," Barrett wrote.

"The Election Day statutes say nothing about the receipt of ballots, and we cannot add words to those chosen by Congress," the justice considered. "The deadlines for absentee ballots have changed over time. During the Civil War, states that allowed absentee voting imposed the same day as the election as the deadline for receiving ballots," she added.

Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts were the judges who aligned with the left.

A ruling that opens the door to distrust

The judicial decision was questioned by the other four justices on the high court. In this regard, Justice Samuel Alito expressed himself clearly.

"We have many phrases that involve two words, the second of which is 'day'. Labor Day, Memorial Day, George Washington's birthday, Independence Day, birthday, and Election Day," the magistrate stated. "All are specific days. So, to begin with, if I have nothing more to analyze than the phrase 'Election Day', I believe this is the day when everything is supposed to happen," he concluded.

In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, the state of Mississippi passed a law allowing the counting of mail-in ballots that are dated on Election Day and received within five days after the election. Several groups challenged this legislation arguing that it violated the federal legislation of 1845, which firmly establishes the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November as Election Day. This is how the law reached the highest court.
