What's Trump's October Surprise?

This just might get interesting.

The state Supreme Court ruled that the drive-by ballots are good.

So they’re taking it to Federal court next. The judge is said to be a known blatant right-wing partisan who is expected to reject those ballots, just because he’s a blatant right-wing partisan with a history of rulings like that.

So, off to Supreme Court. But wait: The Supreme Court has delivered mixed rulings about counting ballots (see: Pennsylvania ruling vs. Wisconsin ruling) and their controlling principle seems to be that the STATES control their elections and the Federal courts need to stay out of it. (It’s actually a bit messier than just that.)

So this will really test if the Supremes have any scruples. They ought to rule that the ballots are good, because the Texas secretary of state said they are, and the county elections commissioner said they are, and the state Supreme Court said they’re good.

One hundred quatloos says they throw the ballots out.

(ETA: OMG! It’s not even 17:30 here yet and it’s getting dark! The long nuclear winter is upon us!
