    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted David French

    Democrats' concerted litigation strategy is to get courts to throw out neutral rules written by elected legislatures, in favor of judge-written ad hoc rules, then complain when anybody tries to stop them. The question is whether we have any rules at all, & if so, who makes them.https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench/status/1321807118811516929 …

    It is deeply disturbing that -- virtually everywhere -- the concerted litigation strategy of the GOP is to make sure that fewer votes count. The strategy goes far, far beyond any legitimate concern about fraud.

        There is a non-trivial chance that we'll know for a fact after the election that its outcome was decided by a judge-made remedy that replaced a written rule of law passed by a legislature. In PA, it appears for now that the late-mailed ballots are to be held separately.

        This cannot be a healthy outcome for our system.

        The GOP only sues to enforce such rules when it means fewer ballots counted. That's not a coincidence at all. 🙄

        He's primarily referring to the SCOTUS Wisconsin decision, which held that if they wanted votes to be counted even if the mail couldn't get there in time, the legislature should have acted to make that explicitly law before the election, rather than the courts. It's contentious.

        David is smart enough to know this. But that doesn’t pay the bills.

        The question is why the GOP assumes that more voters is instantly bad for their electoral chances.

        They don't. They're worried that Democrats will "miraculously" have a bunch of late mail-in ballots show up in places where they're losing, but not by much.
