WOW: By a 5–4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court reverses a lower court order extending the deadline for mail-in ballots in Wisconsin. All four liberals dissent. The conservative majority just effectively threw out thousands of ballots. Incredible. Link coming soon.

By a 5–4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court just approved one of the most brazen acts of voter suppression in modern times, allowing Wisconsin Republicans to exploit the coronavirus pandemic to suppress tens of thousands of votes. I am absolutely blown away.https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6826732-19A1016.html …

RBG: "The Court’s order, I fear, will result in massive disenfranchisement. A voter cannot deliver for postmarking a ballot she has not received. Yet tens of thousands of voters who timely requested ballots are unlikely to receive them by April 7, the Court’s postmark deadline."

Let me be very clear about this. Tens of thousands of Wisconsinites will not receive their absentee ballots by Election Day BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THOUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. The U.S. Supreme Court's five conservatives just said: "Too bad. You don't get to vote."

An election that forces voters to choose between protecting their health and casting a ballot is not a free and fair election. Nor should its results be treated as indisputably legitimate. This is a tragic day for democracy. My piece: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/04/supreme-court-wisconsin-absentee-ballots.html …

And if those people who mailed in their ballots late wanted to vote tomorrow, they can’t, right?

The election got postponed right?

That’s why that seat was so important! Obama just let McConnell take that from him!

Ok I'll bite. What should Obama have done?
