Michigan Court Rescinds 14-Day Extension for Receipt of Mail Ballots - WSJ

The Michigan appeals court said that voting rule changes shouldn’t be left to judges, and that Michigan voters have options to ensure their ballot arrives on time, citing ballot drop boxes as one example.

Every vote should be counted.

It is completely reckless to be changing the rules, by fiat, this close to an election.

In the United States, we only allow adults to vote. Adults should be responsible for casting their ballot if that’s what they want to do. The deadline is widely known and there are now more ways than ever to vote. Be responsible and turn your ballot in by the deadline or don’t be counted.

“Designing adjustments to our election integrity laws is the responsibility of our elected policy makers, not the judiciary,” the appeals panel wrote.
