Based upon the record before it, this Court has sufficient grounds to enjoin Respondents from further certification activities on an emergency preliminary basis, pending the results of the evidentiary hearing it had scheduled for this date, after which the Court would have determined if a preliminary injunction should issue. Since the Court is sitting in equity it has the power to fashion such relief as it is vitally important that the status quo be preserved pending further judicial scrutiny….
This the kind of case Roberts likes. It's a technical matter with direct Constitutional ramifications.
Thheir claim the main-in ballot scheme is unconstitution is wrong, since it relies on their having amended the absentee ballot section of their election law, which must comply with the PA constitution.
Instead they wrote a new section, that had no constitutional restraints.
This is a state issue, and the federal courts have no reason to step in. This is interpretation of PA law and the PA constitution, which is up the the PA supreme court.
