– President Trump’s campaign on Sunday asked the Supreme Court to block North Carolina’s plan for counting absentee ballots that arrive after Nov. 3’s Election Day, Reuters reports. A US federal appeals court decision last week left in place North Carolina’s plan, dealing a setback to Trump’s re-election campaign. In a 12-3 decision, the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals last Tuesday denied a bid to halt the North Carolina State Board of Elections from tallying ballots by Nov. 3 that arrive before Nov. 12. The Trump campaign, the North Carolina Republican Party, and others had sued over the timetable, saying that it violated the state’s election code. “An emergency injunction is urgently needed to ensure that our federal election is governed by the statutes enacted by the people’s duly elected representatives, and not by the whims of an unelected state agency,” the petition to the Supreme Court said.
