SCOTUS Ruling Allows Mail-In Ballots to Be Counted after Election Day
- Details
- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
A closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a critical decision on election integrity, jeopardizing the security of American elections and the sovereignty of the nation. In an opinion released Monday morning in Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), the court’s narrow majority ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by election day may still be counted even if received after election day.
“Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. At issue is a Mississippi state law allowing ballots received by mail and postmarked by election day to be counted for up to five days after election day. The RNC argued that federal statutes preempt Mississippi’s law and require ballots to be received by election day in order to be counted. Barrett and the majority concluded that the federal statutes “do not” preempt Mississippi’s law.
Advocates for Faith & Freedom Files Election Integrity Lawsuit Seeking Answers from California Secretary of State

MURRIETA, Calif. — After Election Integrity Project California’s thorough audit of November 2022 election data revealed an unexplained 43,625-vote discrepancy between California’s certified election results and data provided by the Secretary of State’s office, along with instances in which multiple votes appeared to be counted for individual voter registration numbers, Advocates for Faith & Freedom has filed a verified petition for writ of mandate on behalf of Ruth Weiss, a California voter and board member and volunteer with EIPCa. The lawsuit seeks to compel California Secretary of State Shirley Weber to answer basic questions regarding election procedures and voter data and to perform the legally mandated duties necessary to help ensure that every vote is lawfully cast and accurately counted. The petition does not ask the court to overturn any election result. It does not allege election malfeasance. Instead, it asks for something far simpler and more fundamental: transparency.
SCOTUS Grants Cert in Parents’ Standing Case

- By Parental Rights Foundation
WASHINGTON — The United States Supreme Court on Monday granted cert to hear International Partners for Ethical Care, Inc. v. Ferguson on appeal from the Ninth Circuit. The constitutional question in the case is “[w]hether parents have standing to challenge a law or policy that deliberately displaces their decision-making role,” according to the SCOTUSblog website.
“This is an important and welcome decision by the Supreme Court,” says Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus William Wagner, Vice President of the Parental Rights Foundation. “For more than a century, the Court has recognized that parents, not government officials, hold the primary responsibility and constitutional liberty to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children. When a state policy deliberately interferes with that relationship, parents should not be turned away at the courthouse door.”
Pro Baseball Team Forfeits after Players Reject Pride Uniforms

- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
In the face of public backlash and devastating consumer boycotts, many corporate entities have backed away from the public celebration of Pride Month over the past two years, but some corporate forces still haven’t learned the lesson. On Thursday night, one group of businessmen were given a lesson when the players on the baseball team that they own and operate rebelled against a planned Pride Night event.
The minor league York Revolution baseball team, based in York, Pennsylvania, canceled a game Thursday night against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, ultimately forfeiting the game, when players refused to wear LGBT Pride jerseys that management had picked for the night. “Unfortunately, several of our players have refused to wear the scheduled Pride Night jersey and the club decided that hosting the event is more important than forcing players to wear jerseys they are not comfortable with and playing the game,” York Revolution management said in a statement. The Pride Night event was still hosted, but without a baseball game. Management then proceeded to criticize players for refusing to wear the Pride-themed gear:
Speaking the Unspeakable

Obviously, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to nuclear fusion and politics. But lately (no, for several years) I’ve been trying to understand why we still pretend we have a legitimate U.S. constitutional government. I’m old enough to remember when there was a decent semblance of sound governance – long ago, before JFK was assassinated.
I liked history and political science. I was supposed to go into aerospace engineering, but decided to see some of the world first. My cousin suggested we catch a coffee boat to Australia and work in the opal mines for a while. Then he fell in love and I wasn’t taking a boat anywhere alone. So, I became a stewardess and soon got based in Washington, D.C. I met many governmental officials there and on the planes. I had dinner with some and met others at parties, fund-raisers, and other functions.

After “Political Spanking,” Ehlers Joins Hoard in Backing Joe Dill

- By James Spurck, Publisher
After falling short of an outright majority in the June 9 Republican primary, James Hoard and John Ehlers threw their support behind former Greenville County Councilman Joe Dill as he heads into a June 23 runoff against Travis Forrester with a sizable first-place lead.
Candidate John Ehlers found a humorous way to describe what happened in the June 9 Republican primary.
After losing to former Greenville County Councilman Joe Dill, Ehlers told those gathered in front of the media that his elder in the race had given him a political “spanking.” It was a moment of comic relief, but it also captured the larger point of Monday’s endorsement event: the primary contest had ended, and two former opponents were now urging their supporters to back Dill in the runoff.
Former Greenville County Council District 17 candidates James Hoard and John Ehlers stood with former Councilman Joe Dill on Monday to endorse him in the Republican runoff against Travis Forrester.
