Tell the Supreme Court to protect voting rights, not suppress voter turnout » [link removed]

In her dissenting opinion of last night's SCOTUS decision rejecting requests to reinstate an extension of Wisconsin's deadline for receiving absentee ballots, Justice Elena Kagan called out Justice Kavanaugh for his absurd refusal to count ballots received after Election Day.

"There are no results to 'flip' until all valid votes are counted. And nothing could be more 'suspicio[us]' or 'improp[er]' than refusing to tally votes once the clock strikes 12 on election night."
-- Justice Kagan

Conservatives on the Court are hellbent on silencing voters. Deciding to throw away absentee ballots that arrive after Election Day -- during a pandemic when Senate Republicans have refused to properly fund the USPS and Trump installed a Postmaster General intent on dismantling the Postal Service -- is nothing short of court-sanctioned voter suppression.

If this case sounds familiar, it's because the Court's conservative majority made a similar eleventh-hour decision to upend changes to Wisconsin's vote-by-mail system during the state's primary. While ballots still needed to be postmarked by the primary election date, there was a six-day window for ballots to be received and counted. Now, just six months later and days before Election Day, an almost-identical extension is apparently a bridge too far to help voters.

We need the highest court to protect voters, yet the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has proven they will enable voter suppression tactics instead. Add your name to call for an end to such court-sanctioned voter suppression.
