Illinois election officials can continue to count mail-in ballots for up to two weeks after an election so long as they are postmarked or certified by Election Day after the 7th Circuit rejected a Republican lawsuit seeking to toss these ballots. Marc Elias and Paige Moskowitz break down the ruling and why the GOP is filing the same failing lawsuit in 4 different states.

Thank you!! Best news😊
Do you think the way they treat divorced dads in the state of Texas is unconstitutional?
Great and i listen and then I try to click to like only to have youtube pass to another show. Ending make longer than what it is. probably passing NINE seconds.
That is such a good result. Thank you for your hard work.
Not Republicans anymore, Nazi trash lids at best
I don't get these guaranteed Republican states so if Hitler was on the ballot he'd win these states? WTF? What's going on in these states?
I love horror movies I can only assume that every decent character mistakely ends up in a Republican state where they meet there demise from a psycho Republican!
Yay!!! FDT 🦘🦘🦘
Go Marc and Democracy Docket. I feel fortunate to have you fighting for my rights. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Republicans can't win a fair fight nor a fair election so they're going to lie and cheat every way they can
They want to cheat. Because they know they are losing.
Where are the Republicans getting the money to file these law suits?😊
The United States has been voting by mail since 1861. Now the Republicant's are screaming. Fraud
I remember when republicans loved mail-in ballots
Thank you for your great work!
BEAUTIFUL ✊🫡🇺🇸🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Lying, cheating, stealing, that's all you seam to do. Bad republican. Vote straight blue.
When your name and address is put on the letter containing the ballot. When it has a 75 cent stamp on it. It's your property. When you mail it to your town office. It becomes state property. When it gets sent to Congress. It's our countries property. If you steal an individuals mail. It's mail fraud. When you kick them off voting list. It's identity fraud. When you put votes in the trash. That's destruction of property. Every convict can tell you this when they are in jail. Trump is a convict that hasn't gone to jail yet. Let's send him to jail to make an honest man out of him!
Mississippi GOP: " No, don't give us the policy we want, we want to fight it through the courts in order to force it on the whole country with the help of the corrupt Court system" The amount of hypocrisy and sheer bad faith here is jaw dropping!
A LOT OF ANGRY COMMENTS from people who vote by mail they had no idea this was going on – this is why we should send 2 bucks each to Democracy Docket so they can continue the cases and getting the word out!!!
This country DESPERATELY needs frivolous lawsuit laws.
Thank you Mark
Wow! I didn't know or hear anything about this.
As long as there is an electoral college my vote doesn’t count like it should. Republican voter suppression is a crime against the Constitution!
Trump de-funded the Country.
They are grasping for straws
Still.. if possible, vote in person
I'm glad they lost. I use mail in voting in Illinois. I love it.
There is an even greater threat to mail-in ballots as the USPS has been getting extremely slow in delivering packages the last 4 months. I have envelopes that still haven’t been delivered and certified mail that has been sitting in the same location for 2 months. The postmaster general is sabotaging mail delivery.
Woo hoo! Thank you, Marc. Thank you, Paige.
Didn’t the MAGA Republicans god, Trump, vote by mail? The same guy that wants to stop it? Hypocrite
Wonderful good triumphs over evil again
They are so exhausting
I'm disabled so I have to mail-in ballot
Remember DeJoys effort to revamp the delivery method in Nevada. He was purposely closing the sorting station and moving it two or three days out to another station. How many ballots would be delayed? Enough to make it worth his effort to do it.
Thank god.!! Why they are trying to take the people votes away. They can not win fair and square. 😢
The people filing this are not true republicans, It’s MAGA which follows a felon. Please refer to them as MAGA!! I’m a republican and I’m supporting Harris/Walz.
Why is this so hard? It's simple, look at the bloody post mark date.
Hell, yes, Marc and Paige! ❤️🤍💙
