Patriots, the fight for election integrity is heating up as Senator Mike Lee and a coalition of Republicans prepare to take their case to the Supreme Court, demanding an end to the Democrat-engineered ballot harvesting schemes that have plagued our elections for years.

The high court is set to hear arguments on March 23 regarding whether federal Election Day law should trump state laws that allow election workers to count mail-in ballots received AFTER Election Day - a practice that has given Democrats countless opportunities to 'find' votes when races don't go their way.

Senator Lee (R-Utah) is leading the charge with an amicus brief being filed Thursday, warning the justices about the "inevitable harms" that come from allowing states to treat Election Day as nothing more than an "abstraction." This is exactly the kind of constitutional clarity we need after witnessing the chaos and confusion of recent election cycles.

The Constitution vs. Democrat Vote Harvesting

What we're seeing here is a direct assault on the foundational principle that elections should be decided on Election Day - not during weeks of post-election ballot counting that conveniently seem to favor one party. When states allow ballots to trickle in days after Election Day, they're essentially creating a 'rolling election' that makes a mockery of our democratic process.

"Election Day should mean something more than just a suggestion," the brief argues, highlighting how these extended counting periods undermine public confidence in our electoral system.

This Supreme Court case couldn't come at a more critical time. With the Trump-Vance administration working to restore integrity to our institutions, conservatives finally have allies in the fight against the administrative state's election manipulation schemes.

The question every American should be asking is simple: If Democrats are so confident in their candidates and policies, why do they need weeks of post-election ballot counting to win? The answer reveals everything you need to know about their commitment to fair elections.

Will the Supreme Court finally put an end to this election chaos, or will they allow the continued erosion of Election Day as a constitutional principle?

Thank God we have Sen. Lee fighting for election integrity! These rolling ballot counts are nothing but a way to manipulate results after the fact.

Absolutely right! We need more Republicans with backbone like Lee.

I witnessed firsthand in my county how ballots kept appearing days after election night in 2020. This has to stop - we need final counts on election night like we used to have.

Can someone explain what legal standing they have to take this to SCOTUS? I support the effort but want to understand the constitutional argument.

It's likely based on the Equal Protection Clause - different states counting votes differently could violate that principle.
