Friend,
Last night, three Republican justices issued an opinion stating that legally cast mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day in Pennsylvania could still be thrown out if necessary to help Trump win.
Now it's absolutely critical that voters get the message TODAY that they need to drop off their ballots or vote on Election Day IN PERSON to guarantee that the Supreme Court won't toss out their ballots.
Common Dreams is using every resource at our disposal to alert voters about all the latest rule changes and voter-suppression threats.

It's bad enough that Trump and the Supreme Court are creating such confusion and chaos. But most corporate media are making it worse by misreporting the Supreme Court's ruling as a victory for voting rights, since the Court didn't explicitly overrule a Pennsylvania state court decision saying that late-arriving ballots should be counted.
In fact, the statement signed by Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch is even more treacherous.
They're saying that they might still throw out Pennsylvania ballots postmarked by Election Day, but they won't tell voters about it until after it's too late to vote in person. If Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett join them as expected, they would have five votes to toss out as many ballots as they need to steal the election for Trump.
Our newsroom team is going all out to monitor every last-minute rule change and voter-suppression tactic so we can alert voters and protect the results of this election, and as a nonprofit news site, we're counting on your donations to power this critical work.
