      If that was the rule set in advance, people would adjust their behavior to comply with it. All deadlines are in some sense arbitrary. But if the rules are always unfair because they are rules, then you're playing Calvinball.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1322018478556123138 …

      Great point. Let’s change the tax filing deadline so your taxes have to *arrive at the IRS* by April 15th and see how that goes. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1322011819725250561 …

      Richard Lorant Retweeted Will Stancil

      The instructions Minnesota sent out say the ballots must be postmarked by November 3rd. Changing that to a "received by" standard five days before the election guarantees people will be disenfranchised.https://mobile.twitter.com/whstancil/status/1321965827617296384 …

      It’s vitally important that people reporting on the MN court ruling note that it CONTRADICTS THE INSTRUCTIONS MAILED WITH THE BALLOT. See for yourself: here’s a photograph of my ballot, which I have not submitted. pic.twitter.com/ukf0EloW4a

      Either way, neutral deadline rules set by the legislature should not be changed by judges. Which is what the Pennsylvania court did.

          If we're talking about competing goods here - good-faith votes being counted & state leg rules being respected - why is it such an easy call for you to say that the rights of legislatures should supersede those of citizens? Why should citizens be punished for a courts behavior?

          It seems a ruling could strike a compromise holding that it's way to close to the election to go back on rules that were clearly communicated to voters, but that going forward this court change shouldn't happen again?

          You were replying to a tweet about MN, not PA. As this example (from MN) so clearly shows, a ruling tossing ballots aside cast following the instructions literally included with the ballot is absolutely indefensible. This is what the GOP is fighting for. It‘s disgusting.
