"52 ballots from a 2 bedroom home" - Former AZ Secretary of State

Unfortunately for you...that refers to the primary, doesn't it?
"Election officials have asked..." on 8/18/20. And the Supreme Court answered on 10/19/20. I guess your beef is with the Chief Justice.
"The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday that election officials in Pennsylvania can count absentee ballots received as late as the Friday after Election Day so long as they are postmarked by Nov. 3.
The court declined without comment to take up one of the highest-profile election law cases in the final stretch before Election Day. Pennsylvania Republicans had sought to block the counting of late-arriving ballots, which the state's Supreme Court had approved last month.
Republicans sought the emergency stay, arguing that it is up to the state's legislature — not the court — to set rules for how elections are conducted. They also said the court's ruling could allow ballots cast after Election Day to be counted.
The court's most conservative justices — Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas — said they would have agreed to the stay request. But Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's three most liberal members to reject the request."

Now, answer the question.
Who fact-checked Politifact, which is owned by the Poynter Institute?
Christiecrite "forgot" this little detail:
"Pennsylvania election officials have asked the state Supreme Court to allow them to count ballots without a postmark as long as they're received within three days of Election Day."

I'm not sure why you think that. On 10/19/20, "The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday that election officials in Pennsylvania can count absentee ballots received as late as the Friday after Election Day so long as they are postmarked by Nov. 3.
So you say. In the primary they were also given 3 extra days for counting, so long as the ballots were postmarked on Election Day.
Pennsylvania 2020 Primary Election/Act 35 of 2020 Report
Requiring ballots to be sent to voters earlier will only solve part of this problem,however. Some voters will not receive their ballots until only a day or two before an election; others will receive their ballot earlier but may not return it until closer to the election. To allow for all of these votes to be counted, the Department recommends that counties be required to count votes that are received by the county board of elections no later than the Friday following an election, provided that the envelopes have been postmarked by Election Day. Allowing ballots to be returned by the Friday after Election Day will allow ample time for all votes to be counted prior to the statutory deadline to order a statewide recount of any race that is decided by less than a 0.5% margin. Coupled with a change of date for counties to begin delivering or mailing ballots to voters, this change would provide eligible voters the greatest ability to cast their vote

I don't know who the Poynter Institute is. Why don't Y O U fact-check Politifact if you don't believe them?
The little detail Y O U forgot is that whatever they asked the state Supreme Court became moot when the case went to SCOTUS.
LOL. Poor Pied Piper.

Don't really understand your point. Laurence Tribe who is certainly no friend of Trump said the exact same thing.
Yet you cited them in this thread.
I don't recall stating that I don't believe them.
I do recall asking who fact-checked them. And you can't, or won't answer.
I'm also not the one who cited them as proof of her claims.
I doubt that she understands it, either, Tom.
Is that so?
Did the SCOTUS tell Pennsylvania election officials they couldn't ballots without a postmark as long as they were supposedly received within three days of Election Day?
You sure are stupid, cum gargler.
There's a difference between debunking a report based on known facts and dismissing it without inspection because you don't like the source.
My answer is that if one doesn't believe any fact-checker, it's incumbent on one to do his own fact-checking. You could be citing some RW rag that fact-checked Politifact but you didn't. Why is that, leggiecrite? Could it be the RW rags can't find fault with them?
