[Judicial Watch]
Dear Judicial Watch Member,
IN JUST 6 DAYS, YOUR JUDICIAL WATCH HEADS TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES TO PRESENT ORAL ARGUMENTS IN _(REP. MICHAEL J. BOST,
LAURA POLLASTRINI, AND SUSAN SWEENEY V. THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF
ELECTIONS AND BERNADETTE MATTHEWS (NO. 1:22-CV-02754, 23-2644,
24-568))._
IT’S AN HISTORIC HONOR FOR JUDICIAL WATCH AND A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY
TO FIGHT FOR HONEST ELECTIONS AT THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND.
First, thank you for being a part of Judicial Watch. It’s through
the passion Americans like you show for our work as the nation’s
public interest conservative law firm that my team does that work so
diligently and tirelessly. Getting a case to the Supreme Court is a
testament to our team’s hard work, but it’s also a moment YOU (and
all our financial supporters) should take great pride in.
The stakes in this case are huge. _THE INTEGRITY OF ELECTION DAY IN
AMERICA, WHETHER BALLOTS RECEIVED AFTER ELECTION DAY SHOULD BE
COUNTED, AND WHETHER OR NOT CANDIDATES HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHALLENGE
UNJUST ELECTION LAWS_ will all be influenced by the Supreme Court’s
ruling.

Here’s the background of the case: Under current law, the state of
Illinois counts ballots received up to _14 DAYS_ after Election Day.
Imagine the chaos, confusion, and mistrust invited by an election
changing hands due to ballots received AFTER Election Day
(unfortunately, we don’t need to imagine it because it occurred in
two California House races last year).
Unfortunately, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a misguided
ruling that Rep. Bost and our other Illinois plaintiffs lacked
standing to bring this case. We appealed the decision.
We’re very grateful to the United States Supreme Court for taking up
our appeal and agreeing to hear the case.
TO BE CLEAR: THE STAKES ARE POTENTIALLY MUCH GREATER THAN THE FUTURE
OF ELECTION LAWS IN ILLINOIS.
A win before the Supreme Court has the potential to curb the counting
of ballots received after Election Day nationwide and ensure that
future candidates have the ability to challenge laws that impact their
races.
These would be critical steps towards restoring the integrity of our
elections by making them harder to steal.
We have momentum on our side. In May, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled that Mississippi’s state law allowing ballots received up to 5
days after Election Day violated federal law. But there is a great
deal more work to do in the fight for honest elections… including
our oral arguments before the Supreme Court just 6 days from now!

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that battling state governments
over election integrity litigation is a long and costly process, but
it’s a fight Judicial Watch is honored to lead thanks to our loyal
