Voter rules

In the 2020 presidential election, many states filed law suits claiming new voting rules were unconstitutional but their claims were not allowed because the court ruled, they did not have standing. This was challenged and yesterday the Supreme Court ruled that they in fact do have standing, which means the case is sent back to the lower court where it will be decided. The case revolves around Representive Mike Bost who complained about ballots being counted 14 days after election day. There were many other challenges to state voting laws during this election and they were all held in abeyance and can now go forward. Many states just expanded voting days and that was challenged. Ten states sent out mail in ballots more than 45 days before the election. These are tabulated by party and reported in the press. This can influence later voters and in a fast-changing world much can happen that could influence the election during the pre-election voting period. The obvious is what happens if the candidate dies. On a side issue ordinary citizens have wondered about the results since after the 2024 election because of the vote counts. In 2016 Hillary got 65.8 million votes, and in 2020 Biden got 81.3 million and in 2024 Harris got 75 million. Many saw the 15 million vote increase that Biden received over Hillary as suspect and possibly caused by voter rule changes.
