They were...buy elected officials and courts. However, the US Constitution gives plenary authority to the state legislatures to determine how electors from their state are selected.

I understand that courts have stated that many of the pandemic-driven rule changes were unconstitutional. And those same courts have ruled that the remedy is PROSCRIPTIVE in nature and will apply to FUTURE elections and that those changes - made in good faith - were not a reasonable justification to disenfranchise millions of voters who played by rules as published in 2020.ConsRule » 25 Oct 2023, 11:13 am » wrote: ↑ They were...buy elected officials and courts.

No elected official, at any level, and no court, at any level, has the power to change the rules established by the legislature of a state for electing electors. If the state legislature established election rules...say only people who meet certain requirements may vote by mail, or that "drop boxes" are to be located at the county seat for two examples...as it pertains to the vote related to President, only the legislature can change those rules. Nobody, not even the Governor of the state, can say everyone is eligible to vote by mail. That decree can apply to all matters except the vote for President. That position was never brought before a court be anyone with legal standing (and probably only current members of the state legislature would have legal standing).
The answer to your question will hinge on the thinking of the person(s) who made the change. I would hope the answer is no...but since I don't know the minds of the people who made the changes there is no way to know for sure. However, it is completely irrelevant.maineman » 25 Oct 2023, 11:49 am » wrote: ↑ I understand that courts have stated that many of the pandemic-driven rule changes were unconstitutional.

My question, which you so cutely dodged, was: were any of those rules written to explicitly favor one political party over the other? Y/N?
A former federal election official on Thursday called the $400 million-plus that Mark Zuckerberg spent to help finance local elections a “carefully orchestrated attempt” to influence the 2020 vote — and recommended that all states ban private funding of election offices.Hans von Spakovsky, a former Federal Election Commission member, said the billionaire Facebook founder’s donations to a pair of nonprofits that doled out the cash to nearly 2,500 counties in 49 states “violated fundamental principles of equal treatment of voters since it may have led to unequal opportunities to vote in different areas of a state.”maineman » 25 Oct 2023, 11:49 am » wrote: ↑ I understand that courts have stated that many of the pandemic-driven rule changes were unconstitutional.

Now, show me where those courts have the constitutional authority to allow unconstitutional changes to election laws stand or only apply to future elections? That is what most liberals, and their lackies in the media, don't understand. If a vote was cast and counted illegally, then the election results are compromised....period...full stop. I understand the remedy seems difficult, but it really isn't (IMO). The US Constitution provides the remedy. The legislature of the state is the sole authority when it comes to selecting/appointing electors...let the legislature that was in place in those states decide. I know a lot of people would scream and whine, but it's the fault of the people who changed the rules that it would need to come to that. The courts most certainly did not have the authority to do what they did.

So...you're comfortable with courts allowing illegal votes being cast and counted? You find it perfectly acceptable to allow compromised election results to stand?

I am comfortable with the courts addressing - and correcting - the administrative overreach in future elections, which they already have done.ConsRule » 25 Oct 2023, 12:41 pm » wrote: ↑ So...you're comfortable with courts allowing illegal votes being cast and counted?

Another liberal lie. Nobody, if the unconstitutionally cast votes were excluded, would have been disenfranchised. To be disenfranchised means to lose one's RIGHT to vote...it DOES NOT mean having one's vote discarded because it violated the US Constitution. Besides, I never said the entire election in those states needed to be voided...the courts don't have that authority. However, the vote for President should have been ignored because the rules changes were unconstitutional (even though the people were not voting for President). State elected officials and the courts in those states may have the authority to change the rules in everything else...just not how electors are chosen.maineman » 25 Oct 2023, 1:41 pm » wrote: ↑ I am comfortable with the courts addressing - and correcting - the administrative overreach in future elections, which they already have done.
I am also comfortable with the courts ruling that registered voters who played by the rules and voted according to the guidance they received from their elected and appointed public officials should not be disenfranchised after the fact.
I am surprised you would not share that sentiment.

I am NOT surprised you aren't smart enough to know the definition of disenfranchised or understand the nuances.
