With the spotlight on GA, PA, NV, AZ, you might wonder what is going on with the only contested state Trump is leading in, NC. Why has it gone dark? After all, state law says all mail-in ballots postmarked by election day must be received no later than 3 days after election. 1/3
Unfortunately, that's just the law. The NC election board overruled the legislature and decreed ballots postmarked by election day would be accepted until November 12. Although clearly unconstitutional, the US Supreme Court declined to get involved. 2/3
Now, North Carolina has counted all the votes it has--Trump is leading--and is sitting around waiting for whatever ballots arrive by next Thursday. 3/3 https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20a72_5hek.pdf
