lol, the WI supreme court case involved the GOP bleating about election practices that they now claim to be illegal but to which they have done nothing about in NINE YEARS. Keep coping though!
what's the difference between 9 years ago and now if they violate the constitution?
 
That's all addressed on page 27 of the PDF/opinion.
The assertion was that, if someone filled out their full address but left the state out, it should be tossed if a clerk adds in the state. The court found that completing someone's address, by adding in the state or zip code, did not violate the given statute. It also opined that the clerk could not insert an address themselves, and such an action would indeed render the ballot moot.
If incomplete addresses were sufficient, why did clerks modify them? and as the dissent notes, there is no law allowing clerks to modify ballots but there are laws that state what clerks can do with those ballots (cure, toss out). like the dissent notes, they majority doesn't address any of it, hiding behind laches.

i'm so glad the WISC hashed out the issues instead of dismissing on laches.

That it was unchallenged for 9 years, is only being challenged now, and only in regards to what, two counties? If they truly believed it to be unconstitutional, they would have sued about it years earlier, such as in 2016, or 2012. That they’re only suing now raises questions as to if they actually believe this is unconstitutional and that indicates that they had the opportunity to claim damages and present their case a long time ago and chose not to.
 
SmartMatic are threatening to sue several fake news organizations, Fox News, OANN, and NewsMax, for defamation against them.

Hopefully this goes ahead, it would be great if the internal emails from some of these orgs come out in discovery- I doubt many of them are stupid enough to believe the shit they peddle.
Wanting to slience news sites you don't like. Well you Democrats certainly know how preserve Democracy all right. Whats next kill all those who made fun of you
 
>it may go to the Supreme Court
Oh great, those traitors...
They're not "traitors" and anyone pretending differently or that they were scared to take on the case doesn't know what they are talking about.
This faggot below is technically correct in that Texas failed to properly lay out in their case why they had grounds to sue.
That you lack standing to sue is pretty much proof of your claims being baseless. You cannot establish that you have in some way were harmed, that the party you sue is responsible, that claims of how you were harmed have merit, that you’re suing in a timely fashion, etc etc. You have no ground to stand on to sue.
AND IT'S REALLY SAD THAT I HAVE TO POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE EVERYONE ON THIS SITE SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF DISMISSAL.

That wasn’t the focus of the suit and if the suit could indeed be even heard. Laches matters a lot in a case like this, because you’re throwing the rights of a lot of people into the trash.

It's either constitutional or it isn't. it doesn't hinge on the motives of the plaintiff for it to be constitutional.

Top Michigan Republicans shut down prospect of overturning result for Trump as Electoral College meets​

The two top Republican officials in the Michigan state legislature on Monday made clear the state would not award its electors to President Trump as tensions bubble in the state ahead of its formal Electoral College vote.
Shirkey credited Trump with shedding light on flaws in the election process that require fixing to avoid voting irregularities.
There were 'flaws' that 'require fixing', but that can be attended to at a later, unspecified date. We promise that the next election will be totally upright and valid! Trustus.

'voting irregularies' - that dude should be in stocks in some town square for weeks for saying such shit.

“Again - I fought hard for President Trump. Nobody wanted him to win more than me," Chatfield said. "I think he's done an incredible job. But I love our republic, too. I can't fathom risking our norms, traditions and institutions to pass a resolution retroactively changing the electors for Trump, simply because some think there may have been enough widespread fraud to give him the win.

"That's unprecedented for good reason," he added. "And that’s why there is not enough support in the House to cast a new slate of electors. I fear we'd lose our country forever. This truly would bring mutually assured destruction for every future election in regards to the Electoral College. And I can't stand for that. I won’t."
If we don't certify these verifiably and indubitably dubious results then we will lose our country forever.

since scotus didn't explain why, there's only speculation.

You would address that BEFORE doing so in a clear attempt to simply invalidate hundreds of thousands of votes you didn't like so as to win by fiat, or you would get the laches.

You are literally advocating for disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of ballots, specifically because you know it will give an unfair advantage to the loser. Legal issues have temporal considerations.

If incomplete addresses were sufficient, why did clerks modify them? and as the dissent notes, there is no law allowing clerks to do so but there are allows that state what clerks can do. like the dissent notes, they majority doesn't address any of it, hiding behind laches.
Yes, no one has ever practiced "CYA." As you outlined before, it is unclear what constitutes an "address" by the statute in full. If the state and zip code are implied, what does their addition change? Your argument is that if a clerk wrote two letters on a ballot, it should be discarded.

It's laches because if you had a problem with this statute, you easily had the time to bring this particular wording up well before doing so would invalidate 200k votes in order to allow your preferred politician to win.

Here's the dissent you're referencing:

¶79Notwithstanding the plain, clear requirements of two statutes, WEC's guidance explicitly directsmunicipal clerks that they "must take corrective actions in an attempt to remedy a witness address error." WECguidance states, "municipal clerks shall do allthat they can reasonably do to obtain any missing part of the witness address." Then in addition, the WEC instructs clerks to add witness address information even though the guidance acknowledges that "some clerks have expressed [concern] about altering information on the certificate envelope, especially in the case of a recount."

¶80The WEC ignores that the legislature provided only one act an election official may take in regard to a defective witness address:mail the defective ballotback to the elector to correct the error. Wis. Stat. §6.87(9). That the legislature made one choice about correcting a defective witness address excludes other methods of correction. "[T]he express mention of one matter excludes other similar matters [that are] not mentioned." FAS, LLC v. Town of Bass Lake, 2007 WI 73, ¶27, 301 Wis.2d321, 733 N.W.2d287 (quoting Perra v. Menomonee Mut. Ins.Co., 2000 WI App 215, ¶12, 239 Wis.2d 26, 619 N.W.2d 123)(modifications in the original). In addition, and similarly, §6.87(2) states, "[t]he witness shall execute the following...(Address)." It does not state thatclerks shall execute anything.

¶81Myconclusion that errors in the certification of absentee ballots require discarding those ballots is consistent with our precedent. In Kaufmann v. La Crosse City Bd.of Canvassers, 8 Wis.2d 182, 98 N.W.2d 422 (1959), absentee ballots were returned to a municipal clerk without bearing a notary's signature on the accompanying certificate envelope, as required by statute at that time. The clerk added her signature to the certificates. Id.at 183. We explained that the electors' failure to ensure that the certificate complied with the statute invalidatedthe ballots. Additionally,we stated, "[t]he fact that the...clerk further complicated the matter by signing her name to the...certificate cannot aid the voter. The two wrongs cannot make a right." Id.at 186. The ballots were not counted. Id.In the case at hand, a defective witness address cannot be corrected by a clerk, just as the signature of the notary could not be completed by the clerk in Kaufmann.

The assertion is in essence that the WEC contradicted legislature, and that defective ballots should have been mailed back to the elector to correct the error.
So the argument is: ballots missing the state or zip code in their address needed to be mailed back to the voter for correction, although it is not clear whether this issue necessarily is a "defective" ballot.
The dissent requires a specific reading: whether or not the ballots are defective for lacking the state / zip, they are rendered defective if a clerk writes in the state / zip to finish it out.
The ruling is a 4-3.
 
in other words, there is no difference.

That’s the thing, if this was unconstitutional and so blatantly so, why didn’t they bring this up years ago. Laches exists to throw out suits like this meant to gum up the legal system and delay things. They’ve also only come up with this argument now, after what, 12 lawsuits in WI and a recount? This is an attempt to throw out election results simply because they do not like them, and disenfranchise people. This matters to a court.

since scotus didn't explain why, there's only speculation.
SCOTUS doesn’t have to say why. The decline to hear it says a lot. They find it baseless.
