Breaking: Supreme Court Rules 5-4 on Mail-In Ballot Deadline

At 29:00 · chapter starts 26:00

Mid-episode, live breaking news lands: the Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that federal law does not prevent states from counting mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices. Justice Samuel Alito dissented, calling the ruling inconsistent with federal election law and two centuries of practice. Coglianese processes the ruling in real time, calling it 'a big steaming pile of crap' and noting that California already allows voters to handwrite postmark dates on ballots. He invokes the Carter-Baker Commission's bipartisan conclusion that mail-in ballots are the primary source of election fraud, and offers his personal heuristic: if Thomas and Alito are on the same side, that's the right side.
