Polls schmolls. No one knows how this is going to work out so try not to get overly emotional today. Big ask, I know.
A few major court cases seem to indicate that there are at least some people who want this system to work. In Georgia, the Supreme Court ruled that no election office can extend voting to accept ballots after Election Day. In Pennsylvania, a court ruled that absentee ballots without proper dates cannot be counted. Another court in Pennsylvania ruled that Elon Musk’s political action committee’s $1 million per day voter sweepstakes can continue after it was challenged by the state’s Attorney General.
Pennsylvania is obviously a biggie. Philadelphia was the location of the New Black Panther Party’s voter intimidation in the 2008 election. The Justice Department prosecuted and won the case but the Obama administration forced them to drop the case because the victims were white.
On the eve of the election, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said this about anyone planning any such thing today. “F around and find out.”
