Why does OK's AG want to interfere with how PA counts votes?

[struggle4progress]

We were disappointed to see that Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter interjected his opinion in a court case challenging how and when Pennsylvania counts its ballots ...

Hunter was one of several Republican state attorneys general filing with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a challenge to a previous Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling. The Pennsylvania court had ruled that the state had to accept mailed ballots up to three days after the election ...

The U.S. federal system lets state governments (which includes state courts) control the election process with the exception of specific civil rights issues specified in the Constitution. The deadline for mailed ballots in Pennsylvania isn’t a federal issue and it isn’t an Oklahoma issue. It is plainly not any of Hunter’s business.

If it were his business, we’d hope he’d be advocating to making sure citizens were allowed to vote, not prevented by partisan rules designed to benefit one candidate ...

1. Why is it that "Government" that does the extensive OVER REACH into State's Rights is the reThugs?

They want to tell people what to do with their own bodies.

They want to tell States HOW to count their votes.

They want "business" to be treated like people and people like expendable packaging - just something for show.

They say, "Government IS the problem!"

"Yeah, the way YOU run IT, it's a problem all right, but that isn't how it is supposed to work. Did you flunk American History, dudes?"

3. Rethugs will do ANYTHING to get their way, and they will do ANYTHING to block attempts to stop them.

Each day, week, months, and year that passes by, they become more emboldened. They will cheat, kill, lie, maim, break the law, ignore the law, etc. They will do ANYTHING to 'win', even though it is destroying the American project right before the world's eyes. They have long ago decided upon a course of pure, unlimited raw power, and see anyone opposing them as an enemy worthy of death or enslavement. IF they thought they would win the day if they tried to do it, they would execute a full stop complete military coup d'état at the earliest possible opportunity.

ZERO hyperbole.

4. The number of segregated ballots from that period are much less than margin of victory. . . . nt
