June 29, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling in Watson v. Republican National Committee:
“In an apparent bid to avert Democrats’ threatened Supreme Court packing scheme, Republican-appointed justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett have apparently opted to just give Democrats everything they want including an election month voting where ballots are counted no matter how late they arrive after Election Day. Arguing there is no prohibition against late ballots, the nation’s highest court has effectively made Election Day a dead letter. Now, the only resort for the American people who want to restore same-day voting is for Congress to pass another statute to clarify what federal law has already stated for more than a century was ‘the day for the election…’ This ruling is regrettable and will prove Stalin’s maxim that it is not those who vote, but those who count the ballots that decide everything.”
