Federal regulators, states, and tribes are battling over who controls sports betting.
One of President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominees voted against a big case that would restrict when mail-in ballots could be accepted — and MAGA is not happy. The decision, which saw Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts side with all of the Democratic-appointed justices, ruled that ballots filed with Election Day postmarks can be accepted even if they arrive after Election Day. Justice Samuel Alito complained: "Today’s decision leaves open opportunities for voter fraud that may further undermine Americans’ faith in the integrity of this country’s elections." Zachary Donnini, head of data science at VoteHub, explained that only about 4 percent of ballots arrive after Election Day. Republicans lashed out at both Barrett and the ruling in general, with a slew of complaints. Sen. Eric Schmidt (R-Mo.) blasted it as "A shockingly wrong opinion."He was quick to jump on the anti-Barrett bandwagon, saying, "Justice Barrett joins with the liberal justices to hold that federal election law does not preempt states that allow late mail-in ballots to be counted. This is terrible for election integrity. Another reason we must pass the full SAVE American Act.""Amy Coney Barrett continues to disappoint in far too many high-profile cases," complained Article III lawyer Josh Hammer. "BEYOND insane," conservative Nick Sortor complained. He added that because of this ruling California "can CONTINUE taking WEEKS to count ballots after Election Day." In fact, California is generally slowed not by late-arriving ballots but by signature matches for mail-in ballots, as Donnini wrote. "Justice Barrett just sided with the Democrat justices to allow states to count absentee ballots received DAYS after Election Day. She is the biggest disgrace to the Supreme Court," bashed conservative Andrew Pollack."Barrett. AGAIN. WTF," asked Megyn Kelly. "You would think with a 6-3 Conservative Court we would get the easy wins. But with Roberts and Barrett on the court nothing is a given," wrote Bill Mitchell.Truth Social advisor Katie Zacharia wrote, "Barrett has been a disappointment."
