If this case is resolved so that the ballot receipt deadline is struck down, this question was asked, hey, does this affect primary elections?
Is it just the general election in November?
And while Mississippi's law applies to all of their elections, primary elections, recall elections, the general election in November, what is at hand in that issue before the court
is just the federal general election in November.
So for primary elections that are coming up or in some states have already gone by, this ruling would not affect them.
But what it does affect those 18 states and the District of Columbia is in November,
When the RNC was looking at challenging the post receipt deadline, if you go and you sue in Illinois or you go and sue in New York, that you're not going to have a favorable decision in those lower courts and you're going to hope that you can appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.
But what I think happened here is the RNC saw
that Mississippi is a very favorable venue for this.
Mississippi's Solicitor General who argued for Mississippi here actually was the lawyer who argued the Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade.
And so it is odd that you have a red state, you have Mississippi on the opposite side of the administration or in
my view, very common sense practice and policy of having Election Day be Election Day.
I think in the end, no matter how formidable the argument was from Mississippi, their law will be overturned.
If I were to predict how this would go down, I think this is a very easy five and up to six vote majority for striking down Mississippi's law of receiving ballots five days after the election.
I believe in the call notes it said that the suspect was still on scene in a Mercedes. We drove to the call. We didn't activate our lights and sirens just because I believe we were relatively close and We got there and entered the building, entered Cup Boots of Business. There's a staff member there that said, you know, they're still here.

He goes, he was holding a bill and he goes, they gave me this. It's a big 20. He pointed across the street and they're like, he's in the car over there. You know, go get him before he drives off. So I said, you know, and he started walking out. I was like, you know, just head back in. We'll take care of it.

They all started kind of digging underneath the seat. It looked like they were reaching for something. And I said that to King. I said, they're moving around quite a bit as I was coming across the street. I walked up to the driver's side of the vehicle, I knocked on the glass, and the driver was sitting with his hand down below the seat, kind of leaning forward like this.
