We all need a place where the buck stops. The more black and Democratic a precinct, the more likely it was to suffer high rates of invalidated votes. Polls are open during specified hours, and if you are late, it's unfortunate. You get to vote once, not over and over. All votes are counted by one standard, not some once and some four times, with selected votes being subject to interpretation .
All voters are equal, and all ballots are equal, or else there is chaos.
One, in view of the excruciating closeness of the contest, is that every vote counts. The other, propounded by conservative jurists at play in the fields of 18th-century law and values, is that it's not even the case that any vote counts. Or at least, that there's no constitutional right to vote for president. If this means 'actively' striking down legislation or lower court rulings that violate the clear mandates of the Constitution or that exceed the proper powers of a legislature or government official, then that is what we have judges for. Restraint means staying within the boundaries of the Constitution and of constitutional laws .
