Supreme Court Examines Candidate Standing in Election Law Challenges

Learn how the Supreme Court's ruling in Bost v. Illinois could radically alter which candidates can sue over state election rules, potentially opening the door to nationwide litigation chaos.

Short Summary

  • This case directly impacts election administration by reviewing Illinois' rule allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days after Election Day.

Those seeking to destroy Democracy by aiding & abetting a known Terrorist & Insurrectionist like Trump should be forced to resign if they won't recuse themselves willingly then they themselves should trade their own robes for orange prison outfits with numbers on them no excuses for their criminality or Trump's criminality whatsoever only the absolution of them facing consequences of being arrested & fully prosecuted for their treasonous actions

Before Trump uses the Constitution to defend himself, his violations of the Constitution should be brought to light first. If he doesn't abide by the Constitution, he shouldn't be able to use it as a defense.

Do people write letters to the members of the supreme court? I would - to every single member as often as possible if this was my country.
