Trump says votes should be counted by Election Day at Georgia rally
Trump said extensions could allow 'bad things happen in places like Pennsylvania and Nevada'
President Trump reiterated his call for the
2020 presidential race to be decided on Election Day during a campaign stop in Rome, Georgia on Sunday night.
Trump criticized Supreme Court rulings last week allowing Pennsylvania and North Carolina an extended timeframe to receive and count absentee ballots for the 2020 election. The president has argued the election should end on Nov. 3 and all ballots received after that date should not count.
“If you know what would have been really nice? If our Supreme Court could have ruled that everything has to be counted by the evening of our Election Day, instead of waiting around six days, eight days, nine days, giving them more time,” Trump said. “If they want more time, let them put their ballots in early. They don’t have to wait until the end.”

Many states count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, so long as they are postmarked by Nov. 3 or earlier. North Carolina will accept ballots received up to nine days after the election after the Supreme Court declined to block a deadline extension. The Supreme Court also temporarily allowed a three-day extension in Pennsylvania that had been ordered by the state’s Supreme Court.
Trump said the extensions, which have been opposed by Republican lawmakers, could allow “bad things happen in places like Pennsylvania and Nevada.”
“That’s a terrible ruling for our country. I don’t care. It’s a terrible ruling. It’s a sham,” Trump said.

2016年最高法院在选举前几个月(6或8),共和党以选举年不宜增加法官为由反对不选,这次仗着参议院多数,在选举前几天成功补选大法官,现在6:3了,还不满意判决。
侧面说明大法官还是有一定正义感的,不光是为某人某党的利益所驱使。所以我对西方的民主制度还是有信心的,虽然并不完美。
