Re: U.S Election 2020

The ballot thing isn't too bad as its votes arriving after election day. They can still count ones they've received before. So long as everyone whose voted before or on the day gets counted them I am fine with that.

Most states were saying they would still count votes so long as it was postmarked by election day, i.e they sent it before, and there are some challenges about that.

That is not what it said. Only posted ballots recieved after election night must be separated.

A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday that Minnesota's absentee ballots that come in after Election Day should be separated from the rest of the ballots, in case a future order makes those votes invalid.

Secondly - Do we normally count ballots received after an election event, say days after?

America has had ample time to cast it's vote especially by mail - there is potential to cheat after 8PM on Election night, by keep counting ballots after the cut off time, there has to be "closure" to the election, otherwise the result cannot be determined for weeks if ballots keep on coming in, days after the election has ended.

If they have to keep them separate, then they are not being counted towards the official tally.

The ruling doesn't block Minnesota's seven-day extension for counting absentee ballots — but it does order a lower court to issue a ruling that would keep the late arriving ballots separate so they can be “removed from vote totals in the event a final order is entered” that finds them unlawful.

And so in essence they will not still be counted towards the "official tally", the "official tally", is when all counting has ended including any order to permanently discard them, if they have been told to keep them separated after election night, then the "official tally" isn't final. I am still correct in my original statement and I stand by what I said as I always do, you never learn Hugh.

Hugh can admit to whatever he likes, just like I can agree or disagree on whatever I like. If ballots have been told keep separated, then they are not part of the final official tally. The clue in the word is "separate".

Until and if a final order is issued finding them unlawful they will be included in the "official tally".

It makes this statement incorrect.

"If" another clue -

It does not, they are still to be "separate."

we can argue this as much as you like, but I stand by what I said. Let's just agree to disagree and move on.
