BREAKING: Supreme Court rejects Trump bid to block North Carolina mail-in ballot deadline extension

Kavanaugh's argument is not carrying the day. If it does, it will block the Court from deciding in Trump’s favor where the states followed their statutes or the rulings of the Court. Although any complaint that states counted votes that came in “late” should be rejected would have to show those states violated their statutes or a court order. Besides, what's the hurry?via @adamliptak https://t.co/ipWb1DBzIs

Trump’s desire to declare victory based on Election Day results would disenfranchise tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of troops stationed abroad. @ProjectLincoln #LincolnVeteran @svdate https://t.co/LJNsKJyD5m

Which really leaves you wondering what legal leg Trump will have to stand on. (And what if they call the race on Tuesday night for Biden? Does Trump cry "Fraud!" because they called it too early? Yeah, he's gonna scream like a stuck pig whatever happens, unless he wins. Screaming and actually raising a legitimate challenge, though, are two different things.)
