If the only mechanism for voting in a state is by mail, does this constitute chaos since finding and implementing voting machines at polling locations can’t be done?

If the USPS is allowed to determine who gets a ballot and who doesn’t, I expect blue states will challenge the ruling but ultimately not comply, creating a tainted election. This is really as far as the SC has gone in forcing an inflection point. A tainted election is no election.

The court okayed it. What is our fine Democratic Party and their politicians going to do, besides sitting there waiting for the rigged midterms? One party corrupt, the other a bad joke

The so-called “quiet period” that legally prohibits states from conducting any systematic voter list maintenance (i.e., general purges) within 90 days before a federal election doesn’t apply to the Supreme Court which can introduce their own “chaos period.” SCOTUS motto, “Constitution, be damned.”

Yes, I know it's wrong to let your mutt out so he can chew on the mailman, but whadda we do about the Postmaster General? It's not like anybody votes for the job...
