(b) The text of the orders and the context in which they were issued make clear that they qualify as interlocutory injunctions under §1253. The orders were unequivocal that the current legislative plans “violate §2 and the Fourteenth Amendment” and that these violations “must be remedied.” And the short time frame the attorney general was given to act is strong evidence that the court did not intend to allow the elections to go ahead under the plans it had just condemned. The unmistakable import of these actions is that the court intended to have new plans ready for use in this year’s elections. Texas also had reason to fear that if it tried to conduct elections under those plans, the court would infer an evil motive and perhaps subject the State to the strictures of preclearance under §3(c) of the VRA. These cases differ from Gunn v. University Comm. to End War in Viet Nam, 399 U. S. 383, where the order did not have the same practical effect as an injunction. Nor does it matter that the remedy is not yet known. The issue here is whether this year’s elections can be held under the plans enacted by the Legislature, not whether any particular remedies should ultimately be ordered if it is determined that the current plans are flawed.. Section 1253 must be strictly, but sensibly construed, and here the District Court’s orders, for all intents and purposes, constituted injunctions. Thus, §1253 provides jurisdiction. Pp. 16–21.

Correct, I listened to his interview.
He's referring to the Abbot v. Perez Supreme Court case

I read that Sydney had to recant part of her suite. Along with all the misspellings it also said that the votes were being switched from Biden to Trump.
Her deal looks more and more like an evangelical type of scam. It was on the radio that one donor is taking either her or another law group supposedly filing suits about fraud to court for 2.5 million. He said they scammed him.
Yes it is wide open to fraud. You can register to vote and vote absentee without any ID, a SS#, or a verifiable residential address from a foreign country using the FPCA.

Yes, I am sure they are well aware of how easy it is to provide just enough information to have a 'name' registered.
Just use the federal application. Mark an 'X' on the application map because you don't have a residential address. Provide a PO Box mailing address where you can receive your voter notification cards and ballots. Don't provide a SS# or ID#...the states have to assign a Voter ID number and register the name pursuant to the HAVA. And, hey, you can just make an 'X' or sign whatever phony names you want.
I have no doubt the various loopholes were created to make it that easy for cheating politicians to vote themselves in. They were not created to keep those with disabilities, the homeless, elderly, minorities, and the poor from being disenfranchised because all the fraud disenfranchises them and everyone else.

No you most certainly CAN NOT.
I know. I registered and voted from Australia, and have done so for 35 years.
And I had to provide my passport and other details (SS# and I think birth certificate), and identify the last USA address I registered/voted. I have had to repeat this procedure several times during those 35 years. The process is now that I have to redo the process every two Presidential election cycles. This cycle was my second one, I'll have to do it again next year before any local elections if I want to vote in my local elections ( I usually opt out of local elections because I'm not resident there anymore).
You can repeat your stupid falsehoods all you want, but think about what you are saying... why weren't there 4 BILLION overseas votes in this (or any) election? If you don't need to provide proof of citizenship to get a ballot, everybody on the planet would vote in US elections.
• Can a U.S. citizen who has never lived in the country register to vote and request an absentee ballot?
Some states allow citizens who have never resided in the U.S. to use a parent's voting residence as their own. A list of these states is available online at www.fvap.gov...
• What if I don't have a social security number or a state-issued ID?
In Section 6 of the form, under "Additional Information," write that you do not have a Social Security Number or a state-issued ID.
• Does voter registration affect my tax status?
You can vote for federal offices without a change to your tax status, but voting for non-federal offices may result in state and local taxation. There may also be tax implications when changing your residence from one state to another. We recommend that you seek legal advice when changing your voting residence.
• What is my U.S. voting residence address?
Your U.S. voting residence address is used to determine where you are eligible to vote. For military voters, it is usually the last address you lived at in your state of legal residence. For overseas citizens, it is usually the last place you lived at in the U.S. before moving overseas. You do not need to have any current ties with this address.
• What if someone else lives there now or the house was torn down?
Your election office only uses your voting residence address to determine if you are eligible to vote in that jurisdiction and which ballot to send you. Your election office will not send any voting materials to this address.
• What if I do not know my voting residence address?
If you cannot remember the U.S. address where you last resided, we recommend asking family members and checking old records. Your election office may also be able to help you further.

American Citizens who live overseas have to prove they are citizens before they can register to vote - just like EVERY OTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN. Presumably overseas citizens will have a passport to prove citizenship. They cannot receive a ballot unless they are registered.
(ii) SPECIAL RULE FOR APPLICANTS WITHOUT DRIVER’S LICENSE OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.—If an applicant for voter registration for an election for Federal office has not been issued a current and valid driver’s license or a social security number, the State shall assign the applicant a number which will serve to identify the applicant for voter registration purposes. To the extent that the State has a computerized list in effect under this subsection and the list assigns unique identifying numbers to registrants, the number assigned under this clause shall be the unique identifying number assigned under the list.

I guess you don’t do weekends? I would think a lawyer would have more time to post on weekends than working week days? Shrugs.
