    even closer to an election!

    Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed on October 25, 2020. Early voting was already open in a number of States and ballots had already been cast. So technically her confirmation hearing happened during an ongoing election, not just closer to one.

      GOP already does not want to acknowledge any voting outside of that one specific Tuesday during mostly working hours.

        They also seem to only want to count ballots until the end of the day. Anything after midnight shouldn’t count. Because those are mostly the rural votes, because the population is so much smaller, the counting is a lot faster.
