    True. Also true that you cannot even define "legally cast ballot" without first examining what the election laws are.https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1322939033970974724 …

    Jake TapperVerified account @jaketapper
    Every legally cast ballot should be counted, no campaign should seek to disenfranchise legal voters who follow the rules, and there should be nothing controversial about either of those assertions.

        Reversing his statement should be just as uncontroversial, but of course it isn't because he's being disingenuous.https://twitter.com/perpetuities/status/1322947740586921985 …

        Ballots cast illegally should not be counted, and unelected bureaucrats ignoring inconvenient laws to make it easier to vote for their party is illegal. There should be nothing controversial about this statement.

        Voting is a right that the state should strongly favor supporting, not denying. The bias towards counting all votes is a cornerstone of American democracy.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        Is there any basis for the assertion that ballots, wherever cast, de jure cannot be counted after 11:59 pm on Election Day? This seems to be Trump's argument

        Replying to @tom_steely @baseballcrank

        Nope, seems not. At least with the postmarked ballots that arrive after November 3rd, there is a colorable, albeit specious, argument. These ballots Trump's campaign seems to be attacking were cast and received weeks ago

        Jake just gave us another teachable moment about what “begging the question” means.

        I don’t think Jake realizes that efforts to prevent illegally-cast votes from being counted don’t “disenfranchise” anyone. By breaking the law, they’ve disenfranchised themselves (if they don’t just go ahead and cast a legal ballot once the illegal ballot is rejected).

        Are we talking about votes cast, in good faith, in Texas? Or really, anywhere? Because how is that the fault of the voter? Or do they all have to have law degrees, and terrible opinions?

        So if voters cast what are, in fact, legally cast ballots at the time they cast them (ratified by the orgisjsture, the sec of state, and the Supreme Court) should? judges intervene?

        Replying to @yeselson @baseballcrank

        Laws are almost never applied retroactively. If the sec of state and texas supreme ct approved, there's zero basis for retroactively nullifying those ballots. This should be totally obvious to anyone this is a frivolous lawsuit.
