Of course it was 6-3. People are going to have to vote in numbers too big to challenge. That's just how it is, unless states can block this somehow.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.
