An agreement that makes it easier for Rhode Island residents to vote by mail during the pandemic will remain in place after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an effort by Republicans to block it.
The agreement allows Rhode Islanders to vote in two upcoming elections without requiring voters to fill out mail-in ballots before two witnesses or a notary. That requirement was already suspended for the presidential primary that took place June 2.
In its one-page order, the high court said that in this case, state officials were defending what is already the status quo from the last election, "and many Rhode Island voters may well hold that belief."
Yes, this doesn't look like it has potential for problems at all...

You had to get your vote notarized?
That seems above and beyond. Glad they did away with that.
It was witnesses OR notarized. They one time I voted absentee in my state, I had to have two witnesses witness me fill out the ballot, put it in envelop, seal it and then all 3 of us had to sign the certification on the back of the envelope across the seams

Well it's just one state, and RI had already suspended this provision for the primaries. But as the Republicans amp up their attacks on mail-in voting, we can probably expect more court battles over it. Though the clock is ticking.
... so, you posted a picture of someone's vote being photographed, witnessed, etc, so you could prove problems with voting, that you yourself did not have.
Sounds legit.

Notice how the people always hair-pulling about voter fraud never provide any meaningful evidence of it? It's "oh, there was this one guy in this local election" or "oh, this stupid Trumipst voted twice for Trump to counter delusions of 'millions of illegals' voting".
[FONT="]The Bush DOJ came up with either 86 or 87 cases of technically invalidly cast ballot, but not fraudulently cast ballots, after searching from 2003-2007. Another thing I wish I could remember the link to came up with about 30-40 cases of actual prosecuted vote fraud over some period of time I don't recall, but in national elections, and only about 30% of them were convicted.

It's not a thing.
If it was, the Bush DOJ would have found it. If it's a brand new thing, newspapers would be positively clogged with stories of people who were turned away at that ballot box because their name was already crossed off the list, someone having fraudulently voted in their place.
If was a thing, the voter suppression cheerleaders would present something other than dead people on voter rolls: they'd present proof that votes were cast in their names. Instead it's just fear mongering and a smattering of innocent factoids you're supposed to assume the worst about.

The Supreme Court is consistently giving us symbolic victories and ruling against us in every election case that involves a critical swing state. I'm sure the Supreme Court will be happy to let us know that California, Vermont, Massachusetts and New York are also allowed to vote by mail.
Gee, thanks SCOTUS!
This guy doesnt understand the editorial use of the word "you".
Must be a Ben Shapiro fan.
