Todd Talk | When Does Election Day Actually End?
A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.
My friends, whatever happened to Election Day being … well, Election Day?
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case out of Mississippi about counting mail-in ballots that arrive up to five days after Election Day. And it’s not just Mississippi:18 states allow some form of this.
A federal court recently ruled that federal law prohibits counting ballots received after Election Day. If a vote isn’t received by Election Day, was it really cast by Election Day?
If there isn’t a clear endpoint to an election, what are we doing? Watching votes trickle in days — even weeks — later?
The whole point of an election is to decide, at a specific moment in time, who represents us.
We can be fair and orderly at the same time.
We’ll see if the Court agrees.
