U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Stay Lower Court Rulings from Minnesota that Allow U.S. House 2nd District Election to be Held on November 3

Posted on by October 28, 2020

On October 27, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch refused to stay the decision of the 8th circuit in Minnesota in Craig v Simon, 20A73. This is the case in which state law said the election for U.S. House, 2nd district, should be delayed until February 9, 2021, because a major party nominee had died shortly before the election. The lower federal courts ruled that the Minnesota state law probably conflicts with the 1872 federal law that tells the states to hold congressional elections in November of even-numbered years.

Justice Gorsuch made the decision himself, without referring the matter to the other justices.

  4. The House could refuse to seat the winner because the election was not conducted in accord with state law.

    NC mess –

    2 USC 7 being ignored — for federal offices.
    §7. Time of election

    The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States, of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress commencing on the 3d day of January next thereafter.

    (R.S. §25; Mar. 3, 1875, ch. 130, §6, 18 Stat. 400; June 5, 1934, ch. 390, §2, 48 Stat. 879.)
    Codification

    R.S. §25 derived from act Feb. 2, 1872, ch. 11, §3, 17 Stat. 28.

    The second sentence of this section, which was based on section 6 of the act Mar. 3, 1875 and made this section inapplicable to any State that had not yet changed its day of election and whose constitution required an amendment to change the day of election of its State officers, was omitted.
    Amendments

    1934—Act June 5, 1934, substituted “3d day of January” for “fourth day of March”.
    Constitutional Provisions

    The first section of Amendment XX to the Constitution provides: “The terms of Senators and Representatives [shall end] at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.”

    Time for election of Representatives, see Const. Art. I, §4, cl. 1.
    ———-

    Absentee ballots = a replacement for in-person voting on election days [DEADLINE = when in-person polls close on such election days]

    — much too difficult for ALL 9 SCOTUS hack MORONS.

  10. Hold your horses, jerky boy, before you topple out of the saddle and eat dirt whilst landing on your head. JUSTICE BARRETT hasn’t reviewed the filings yet. All the better to lull more stupid demon craps into casting ballots which will not only ultimately be thrown out when all is said and done but in addition will be used to identify them as enemies of the state for the purpose of rounding them up. Signing a mail ballot for someone running against TRUMP is signing your own death warrant and sentence to eternal torture in hell after a slow painful public death. And this way more idiots will sign that warrant. Brilliant move by our divinely inspired and appointed JUSTICE. Kudos and keep up the good work as we keep TRUMP.

  11. FATAL Trump FAILURES —

    1. Instantly cause Barrett to be chosen the day Ginsberg died — NOOO stunt WH stuff, NOOO hearings – just Senate vote.

    2. to bring up 2 USC 7 in ALL cases- esp in PA and NC abs ballot cases.

    —
    Result — L-O-S-E-R Trump in next 2 weeks — which may/will cause his 666 true EVIL to show up

    with possible USA Civil WAR II/III — WW III ???
