LOS ANGELES, CA — Today, California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling on Watson v. Republican National Committee, upholding California’s law on late receipt of mail-in ballots.
Statement from Mike Young, Executive Director, California Environmental Voters:
“The good news is the Supreme Court decided it’s done enough damage to our democracy this year with its horrible decision on racial gerrymandering a few weeks ago. We breathe a sigh of relief that today a narrow majority of five Justices affirmed that votes cast on time are votes that should be counted, which apparently isn’t common sense anymore. Yet, with four sitting members on the Roberts Court clearly willing to disenfranchise millions of voters and overturn 150 years of precedent, it’s a win we’re taking with caution.”
