If anyone believes Biden would have won PA without the mail in votes with almost zero ballots thrown out as democrats did not enforce signature checking, they are delusional.
Since the mail in process was unlawful, the state should be given to Trump.
The process matters not, to the citizens who were told it was okay to vote that way.
They chose Biden, by nearly 80000 Pennsylvania citizens who voted in the manner they were TOLD WAS LEGAL....
Even if the whole state's citizen vote was thrown out ,(unlikely) and the legislature picks the electors, (unlikely), the legislators are REPRESENTATIVES, for the citizens, and the legislature should pick a slate of electors, that represents the vote of the PA voters, and send a Biden slate of electors.
Biden did not win, Trump won the state if only legal votes are counted.
They will pick Trump.
The citizen's constitutional right to vote, is greater than any technicality.if there even is one.
Shoot, we were trying to count chads in Florida because every citizen's vote counted, according to the court rulings.
We even counted all of the absentee votes from overseas, like the Military, after the election law stated was the absolute cut off date, for receiving them....
Every ruling, but the last from the SC, ruled in favor of discerning and counting, every last itty bitty, singular vote! Without any rules in the law or their constitution, of bending over bacwards to make each vote of the citizen count, we were bending over backwards to make each vote count...
because the citizen's right to vote, is the singular backbone of our democracy and Democratic Republic...our nation... a representative and constitutional democratic republic. We, the voter choose our representatives and leaders, the leaders do not get to pick and choose the voters....
I do not think they will win in court on this and here is why....
Their constitution states this:
§ 14. Absentee voting.
(a) The Legislature shall, by general law, provide a manner in which, and the time and place at which, qualified electors who may, on the occurrence of any election, be absent from the municipality of their residence, because their duties, occupation or business require them to be elsewhere or who, on the occurrence of any election, are unable to attend at their proper polling places because of illness or physical disability or who will not attend a polling place because of the observance of a religious holiday or who cannot vote because of election day duties, in the case of a county employee, may vote, and for the return and canvass of their votes in the election district in which they respectively reside.
(b) For purposes of this section, "municipality" means a city, borough, incorporated town, township or any similar general purpose unit of government which may be created by the General Assembly.
This part of the PA constitution says this is for electors, well.. we the people ARE NOT THE Electors...... electors are whole different ballgame, there are many rules in the PA constitution that are rules on electors, like they have to be older than 21, they can not be in jail, they can not be arrested for anything other than a felony or inciting violence, around electoral college election day..they can not be bribed, etc etc etc.... and this means of qualifying for an absentee vote ballot is simply another one added to the list for who can be, and rules, for Electors to be chosen and followed.
The right wing is trying to claim, it seems, that this about electors in their constitution, can not be changed except through a constitutional amendment....
and my thoughts are that if these absentee vote rules for the electors, applied to we the people, the voter on election day then no one under the age of 21 could vote in the general or state elections, and that simply is NOT the case.... yet you still have to be 21 to be an Elector....to this day.
The Electors are not the voters, would be my argument....
