Judge Jackson Is Very Worried About a Mail-In Ballot Case

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is extremely alarmed and sent out warnings because the Justices will allow a case of mail-in balloting to go forward.

Fraud Alert

Mail-in  balloting is  easily subject to fraud

Justices ruled that Representative Michael Bost of Illinois and two other candidates have the legal standing to continue a lawsuit challenging the counting of ballots that arrive after Election Day.

Illinois law allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive within an overly generous 2-week period. It opens it up to more fraud.

Many states and DC have followed suit.

This allows ballots to mysteriously and almost miraculously show up in the most unusual places, and they always seem to help Democrat candidates.

The Case

Lower courts ruled that Bost lacks standing, but the Supreme Court has reversed those decisions. Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the majority, said candidates have a personal stake in how votes are counted.

The justices ruled that Rep. Michael Bost of Illinois and two other candidates have the legal standing to continue a lawsuit challenging the counting of ballots that arrive after Election Day.

“As a candidate for office, Congressman Bost has standing to challenge the rules that govern the counting of votes in his election,” Roberts wrote.

He added that candidates have “a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless of whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns.”

Roberts also acknowledged that stricter standing rules “could channel many election disputes to shortly before Election Day — or worse, after.”

Judge Jackson’s fear – allegedly – is that it will generate lawsuits. She doesn’t care that the ACLU sues the government every day over immigration.
