No, Brett Kavanaugh, states do not “definitely announce” results on election night.

Let’s Count All the Errors and Lies in Brett Kavanaugh’s Defense of Voter Suppression
Kavanaugh’s opinion was stunningly sloppy and riddled with false claims.

. . .reasoning is irrelevant.

Their "game plan" and "new" legal principle is pretty clear: Votes that "flip" election day outcome shouldn't be counted."

“Those States want to avoid the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of an election,”

And this is echoed by Trump's "good and proper" to make election day results "official" -- no matter how many votes remain to be counted.

This is their "go to." They know it is insane, but with six on the court to endorse it, they are laying the groundwork.

It's FL 2000 on steroids. Stop counting legitimate votes because it could "flip" Bush's victory.

Our ONLY remedy if they pull it off is to win the House and Senate, and TOSS OUT the electors from any state that fails to count every legitimate vote. It doesn't matter what SCOTUS says. When it comes to determining the legality of the appointment of electors, it is up to Congress.

Congress utterly failed to do their duty in 2000 and toss out the electors appointed pursuant to the incomplete, and therefore unlawful election, in FL (as Justice Breyer essentially instructed them to do in his dissent). They cannot fail to preserve democracy this time if the black-robbed traitors attempt to pull off a coup again.

And the NEXT step would be to impeach the traitors on the court for attempting to overturn the will of the people. If you didn't read it back in 2001, read "None Dare Call It Treason" (Nation article or later book)

trump LOST, that it's not going to be an issue for the DEMOCRATS whether the last few ballots are counted or not! Because democrats are going to wipe the floor with them at the sound of the bell!

This highly respected law school (historically ranked about second after Harvard and 1st this year) gave this guy a diploma?
