Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 11, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 One of the claims of the Trump camp is that mail in ballots in certain states have not received the same scrutiny as vote in person ballots. For example were mail in or absentee ballots counted without name verification or a legal postmark and in a timely manner set by the states legislature. The SC was pretty clear on this in 2000. In a per curiam decision, the Court first ruled 7–2 (Justices Stevens and Ginsburg dissenting), strictly on equal protection grounds, that the recount be stopped. Specifically, the use of different standards of counting in different counties violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
