  • Gorsuch pondered, too, whether voters would be able to recall their mail-in ballots if a scandal involving their candidate (like a “sexual escapade or colluding with a foreign power,” he said) broke out after Election Day.

    It’s so weird and fucked up that he’s making this an argument against allowing postmarked ballots, which allow someone to wait until election day in case there are surprise scandals. He seems to think someone being able to recall a vote for someone who’s revealed to be unfit would be bad.

    But instead of this hypothetical where a scandal comes out after polls close and some small number of people are able cancel votes sent from far away, he wants people to lock in their vote well before election day so that they can’t vote with the information available right up to the end like in person voters. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the next case he’ll be decrying early voting for doing just that.











  • How likely do you think the downvoters are to be the one criticizing the dude for abandoning the woman vs. the ones upset he’s being criticized?

    Because I think the dude was shitty as hell and thus should theoretically be the type of man offended at being lumped in with him, but I get it. Women don’t know if they’re going to get my type of man or the type who will ditch them on a trail until it happens. And I’m pretty sure it we go through the effort to check those downvotes we’re not going to see many of them commenting about how this guy was in the wrong and instead a lot of empathizing with the shitty man.
