SCOTUS is sowing election confusion and disenfranchisement with its last-minute changes in rules, under the pretext of preventing last-minute changes. This is a travesty.

S.C. absentee ballot received by a voter after SCOTUS ruling Monday that witness signatures *are* required. Seems likely to lead to many discarded votes.

The Rs know it sows confusion and distrust. I don't think the Conservative Judges are complicit its just the Cons are playing every gambit they can think of to cause trouble. The flood of Blue needs to be high, wide and long. Wipe out the corruption and save the country AGAIN!
