As we focus on how badly the @RNC lost in Wisconsin today. It lost more than the judicial election. It lost a very BIG legal issue for the Fall.

The @RNC made a key mistake bringing the WI case to the US Supreme Court. The Court& #39;s language about postmarked ballots is a silver lining that makes the direction clear: states must extend ballot receipt deadlines to include ALL ballots postmarked BY Election Day. (2/6)

Beyond WI, a handful of states — AZ, FL, GA, MI, PA and TX — have Election Day receipt laws that should be changed to match the standard SCOTUS set for WI. If they don& #39;t, they will end up being sued in court. (3/6)

We know that Election Day receipt deadlines have a significant impact on minority voters. Let’s take AZ as an example https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index"> (4/6)

States like PA and MI, need to act now to avoid similar problems. In 2018, both states unfairly rejected thousands of absentee ballots due to their restrictive Election Day receipt deadlines. I discuss the impact of these laws more in detail here https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index"> (5/6) https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/16/virus-means-well-be-voting-by-mail-that-wont-be-easy/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...

This is a critical moment that should set reform in motion. States must take a cue from SCOTUS to replace Election Day receipt laws with the more intuitive postmarked-by-Election Day standard.

If not, we will turn to the courts to protect the rights of voters. (6/6)
