Now that we're 2 weeks after the election, zero states have reported final results, and all of our understanding is based on TV networks calling the results, have you changed your tune on this?

What did I say that is no longer true now?

  Living through the past 2 weeks reiterates that Kavanaugh’s opinion was implicitly about AP/NYT/CNN being able to call the election despite the guise of “originalism”

    I’m confused, wasn’t your original claim that it was implicitly talking about states calling the election, not news networks? And from there, it’s pretty clear that indecision around the election (and specifically mail-in voting) has indeed caused issues, so if anything the last two weeks affirm the SCOTUS majority opinion.

      The point was that Kavanaugh's opinion was that networks must call the election night-of or immediately thereafter, which is not an originalist interpretation.

        That is definitely not what the opinion said.
