The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled on several issues to ensure a Democrat Party win in November.
The rulings from last week include:
** The Green Party candidate was struck from the ballot
** Ballots will be accepted UP TO THREE DAYS after the election until November 9th
** Poll workers must serve voters in the county where they live — this protects far left districts where fraud is most likely to occur
If ballots are accepted until Friday November 6th it is clear now that Pennsylvania will not have their numbers in at least until November 9th, a Monday.
Democrats will do anything to win.
The Hill reported:
Republicans plan to ask the Supreme Court to review a major Pennsylvania state court ruling that extended the due date for mail ballots in the key battleground state, teeing up the first test for the Supreme Court since the death of its liberal leader Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The GOP legal strategy, which was revealed in a pair of court documents filed overnight and Tuesday morning, has not been previously reported.
The development comes after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court dealt Republicans a major blow last week in a bitterly partisan election lawsuit that could help determine whether President Trump or Democratic nominee Joe Biden takes the Keystone State, which Trump won in 2016 by just over 44,000 votes.
The expected petition to the Supreme Court comes just days after Ginsburg’s death from cancer last Friday injected further uncertainty into a chaotic 2020 presidential contest that is on track to be the most intensely litigated election cycle in U.S. history.
The Supreme Court only hears about 2% of cases submitted to them for appeal, the rest of the time the lower court case stands
Yes, d.v.
Like one person said, they only accept 2 percent of the cases brought to them, but what could be more important than this?!?
Kamala Harris might be running for her second term.
If they didn’t hear the case until then the point would be moot.
“The Supreme Court only hears about 2% of cases submitted to them for appeal, the rest of the time the lower court case stands”
This is true but we are talking a presidential election here and I suspect the suits vs PA and Wisc will also be joined by a potential suit by the RNC vs Michigan for the the mail in ballot stall to count votes and will be given expedited special consideration by the SC
IF the election is Nov 3-—3 more days is Nov 6-——NOT Nov 9!!!!!!
WHAT was PA Law before the PA Supreme Court re-wrote it?
The SCOTUS may rule that it is the job of the legislature to write Election Laws and not the job of the PA Supreme Court.
This shouldn’t take much time. Either the LEGISLATURE writes laws or the COURT does. If the court can write laws why have a legislature?
They also need to challenge New Jerseys’ mail in or vote provisional policy. No reason not have actual voting machines.
This isn’t coming from a federal appeals court. It is coming from a state court.
Do feds have a say in how a state decides to do elections?

The state court's oversight gets murky when federal Electoral College elections are comingled on the same ballot with state races.
The Constitution says that the legislatures say how to select Electors, which would take this one vote away from a state court's ability to change. However, the state court might have a say on the conduct of the other races on the same ballot.
I'm arguing that the state can keep the ballots coming for a week after the election for local races, but not for the Electoral College if the legislature didn't set it up that way.
Therefore, they need to either have a separate ballot for the Presidential election which is wholly under the jurisdiction of the legislature, or they say that any ballots received after election day will not have their Presidential vote counted.

They did in 2000, when they ruled that states can NOT change the rules in the middle of an election. (Bush v Gore, iirc)
Well the SC let the PA SC write the re districting lines to screw the GOP outta a bunch of GOP Congessional districts, which super ceded the PA legislators Congressionally written map-—so there’s that!!!
I think if there are any legitimate legal issues (I think there are) SCOTUS will take the case. There are already too many questions about the legitimacy of the election, and I think SCOTUS will try to minimize or resolve as many as possible.
That is a strong position.
I have a question about legal standing. Does the party who files the request need to show first that he has already suffered harm?
They probably calculate adding 3 business days which would be Wednesday, Thursday, And Friday with Saturday and Sunday being non business days. Due date then Monday, Nov 9.
