From the article:
The U.S. Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a huge win Monday by allowing an executive order designed to sharply curtail mail voting to go into effect — a move California and other Democratic-led states have warned could thrust the midterm elections into chaos.
Rushing through unprecedented changes to the mail voting system will be especially challenging for California, where more than 80% of voters use mail ballots and every registered voter receives a ballot by mail.
In an unsigned ruling, apparently by a 6-3 vote, the court said the states would not show they would be harmed by the restrictions on mail voting and therefore lacked legal standing to challenge it in court.
Nothing good ever comes about from making things harder for people to vote.
Stupid fucks overthrowing democracy off of a technicality.
If we do not prosecute and hang 4-10 people in particular for treason then we have failed.
Fuck the Supreme clownshow, the damn dictatorship enablers
If it’s this easy to “overthrow a democracy”, you never had a democracy.
Right?! It only took a superpower and a significant fraction of the world’s wealth (tied up in billionaires) and complete control over the media and a blackmail network built-out over several generations, all orchestrated over half a century, to do it!

Your point saying it was easy to overthrow, was that it was hard to overthrow?
As to your second point, yes capitalism hurt person. Nothing is strong enough to withstand those kind of attacks though. If there was any form of government yet invented that could, it would have been tried at some point and we’d still have it.
Can we kill them now? Like if they keep taking away our rights are they really rights anymore?
Unsigned ruling what the fuck. Put your names on your votes, pussies
6-3 is the signature.
But I agree, if you don’t want your name on a ruling you made, then that ought to be cause enough to prevent it from going into effect.
They’re taking away my speech with their intimidation tactics with ICE/FBI.
They’ve now taken away my ballot box with this blatant unconstitutional ruling from a bunch of corrupt Republicans.
What do conservatives say about that other box again?
People have the rhetoric of turning to the ammo box since the other 3 don’t seem to work anymore, but there doesn’t seem to be much coming about from it. If the rhetoric isn’t actually materializing, then people must be consenting to having their rights taken away. In that case, the ballot box is delivering exactly what the people want.
Time to spin up state post offices real quick.
Maybe an alternative is to push out ballots to all the local libraries to pick up - add all your identifying information to it - then drop off at collection boxes (as we have always been able to do).
At least in Colorado, where we have sensible voting - if the orange ape has compliant little shits that don’t deliver our ballots, the state needs to come up with alt ways to get the ballot to us and libraries might be perfect for that.
Give us a month to pick them up at a library or other locations, leisurely read them over at home and fill them out, without any threats from some ICE goon, and then, over the course of weeks, drop off whenever we damn well please, as we always have.
I sure hope we find a great way to do an end-run around these devious little pricks on the right.
