Pennsylvania Court: Mail-In Voting Law Unconstitutional

[1srelluc]

About time but it will be put on hold during a appeal.

A statewide court on Friday declared that Pennsylvania's expansive two-year-old mail-in voting law is unconstitutional, agreeing with challenges by Republicans.

The decision, by a five-judge Commonwealth Court panel of three Republicans and two Democrats, would be put on hold immediately if Gov. Tom Wolf's administration files an appeal to the state Supreme Court as promised.

"The Administration will immediately appeal this decision to the state Supreme Court and today’s lower court ruling will have no immediate effect on mail-in voting pending a final decision on the appeal," Wolf's office said in a statement.

Still, the decision throws Pennsylvania's voting laws into doubt as the presidential battleground state's voters prepare to elect a new governor and a new U.S. senator in 2022.

Just over 2.5 million people voted under the law's expansion of mail-in voting in 2020's presidential election, most of them Democrats, out of 6.9 million total cast.

mail-in ballots is a form of ballot box stuffing, but the Democrats call it "voting rights"

What was the split on the ruling--did it follow party lines? Just curious.

This was going to end up at the state SC no matter what, so the court just hurried the process

Pennsylvania Court: Mail-In Voting Law Unconstitutional

Approximately 1.38 million voters have expressed their interest in voting by mail permanently. If presented to the people, a constitutional amendment to end the Article VII, Section 1 requirement of in-person voting is likely to be adopted. But a constitutional amendment must be presented to the people and adopted into our fundamental law before legislation authorizing no-excuse mail-in voting can 'be placed upon our statute books,'" the opinion said.

Commonwealth Court rules mail-in voting unconstitutional

Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law, Act 77, has been ruled unconstitutional by Commonwealth Court.

This is what the real news is saying.

1. Mail in voting is popular.

2. The state constitution will have to be changed.

3. People are more than willing to change the state constitution.

What was the split on the ruling--did it follow party lines? Just curious.

The three Republican judges agreed with Republican challengers — including 11 Republican lawmakers who actually voted for the law — and ruled that no-excuse mail-in voting is prohibited under the state constitution, until the constitution is changed to allow it.

The two Democrats on the panel dissented.

The state Supreme Court — where an appeal was expected shortly — has a 5-2 Democratic majority.

I am not convinced the PA SC will find it unconstitutional

About 3% of all voters are in such a condition or circumstance that makes Mail in the only feasible method.

There is no good reason to limit it to only those people. Multiple states have been doing almost 100% mail in voting for years and nobody ever cared till you were told to

Votes in 2020 were fraudulent votes.

That is not what they ruled. Why must you lie?

Exactly.

Half the MAGAturds are in on the con, at this point. They know the election was not stolen. But they think keeping the big lie alive will help Republicans pass more laws to suppress the vote and to steal future elections.

And the other half are gullible rubes who actually believe this nonsense.

Unfettered "no cause" mail-in voting is just a open invitation to shenanigans, I've said that for years, mostly back when CO first went to it. Drop boxes are another piss-poor idea.

That said I've sort of come around on early voting since, once we got our feet under us, we used it to help defeat the dems here in Virginia.

LOL....The dems passed into law a 45 day early voting period thinking they would never lose another election but the right-leaning weaponized it against them and ran-up the percentages big time in the red counties.....It was glorious.

No, that is not what it means. It means (if it is upheld) it would be fraudulent to do it in the future.
