Pennsylvania Court Forces Counties to Validate Ballots Despite Missing or Incorrect Dates on Their Outer Return Envelopes
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/31/24 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/31/2024 6:26:12 AM PDT by hardspunned

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court has issued a 4-1 ruling that blocks the enforcement of a crucial law requiring election officials to reject mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect handwritten dates on their outer return envelopes.

The case, brought forward by a coalition of organizations including the Black Political Empowerment Project, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, and Common Cause Pennsylvania, challenged the legality of rejecting mail-in ballots solely based on the absence or inaccuracy of the handwritten date on the return envelope.

And our side shouldn’t either. But if the next step is the Supremes, it won’t be in time.

No, drop box ballots found 2 weeks after election is over. Found by the thousands.

The refusal to count undated or incorrectly dated but timely mail ballots submitted by otherwise eligible voters because of meaningless and inconsequential paperwork errors violates the fundamental right to vote recognized in the free and equal elections clause

But the errors are not “meaningless and inconsequential.” Getting it wrong means your ballot is rejected — that’s meaningful and consequential. Maybe the voter can take 2 seconds to get it right. Or whoever is filling out the ballot, because it’s probably some third-party hack in a DNC workplace.

The law should be passed that ballots not at the polls won’t be counted period. If you are too dumb to mail your ballots in time your vote shouldn’t be counted. If ballot boxes are not emptied and turned in within 2 hours of poll closing they can’t be counted.

Your honor my not looking at my speedometer is a ‘meaningless and inconsequential’ error just like the law says about my undated ballot.

The purpose of insisting on a correct date is to create a legal basis for fraud prosecutions for illegally late voting.

Fraud is generally punished quite severely.

Of course, if a ballot envelope arrives in the legal time frame the written date is of no significance.

Not the last judicial ruling ignoring any law to prevent fraud just before the election.

Great! Those on the PA court will one day answer for their diminishing the requirements that were set for person(s) properly filling out and mailing in ballot! God has it all figured out and each day person makes their choices with it’s consequences :)

Their “fundamental” right to vote is NOT using a mail in ballot. The fundemental form of voting is in person. All other forms are not fundamental they are in addition to.

I highly doubt people ran around to sickly etc even 50yrs ago collecting ballots etc because it likely wasn’t allowed to bring in ballots for others.

If a person wants to vote, plan to get to poll. Take day off, start out the day before. Don’t be at your vacation home or whatever. If it’s so important to you to vote, prioritize it.

Because dems etc want to keep making excuses to make it easier to vote, and republicans bought into convenience, is why we have mail in issues, including fraud.

If people really held their vote with regard and respect, they would act accordingly. Do all they could to be sure it was accurate and securely counted.

“drop box”

Drop boxes introduce a number of security weaknesses.

Drop box deposits don’t leave electronic records of mail system transmission.

Drop box deposits don’t leave a spatial separation between ballot envelopes. Spatial separation allows for easier detection of ‘mule’ ballot envelopes and of the ‘mules’ as well. Public employees are generally fingerprinted.

The main purpose of the secret ballot is to make it impractical for people to sell their vote.

Mail-in ballots defeat the main purpose of ballot secrecy.

Mail-in ballots should only be allowed in cases where a person could not otherwise vote.

I believe ballot secrecy is required by international treaty to which the United States is a party.

“Article 25
Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions:
(a) To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives;
(b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors;”

https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/international-covenant-civil-and-political-rights

Ask yourselves, would you vote for a man like Trump by the US system of mail voting if you lived in 2024 Caracas or in 1946 Stalingrad?

Uncle Joe I or Maduro could simply open up mailed back ballots.

What if you lived in an expensive house in Palm Beach, Atlanta or a Philadelphia suburb that might get reassessed?

Or even burglarized!

Or its owner’s business inspected most carefully!

Or its owner’s tax returns inspected most carefully!

Or its owner’s business records inspected most carefully!

The US mail voting system does not meet the international law requirements the United States signed up for.

There is a way to get this to SCOTUS, as it is an Emergency since the ruling could impact the Presidential Election. However, that did not work in 2020, and I do not know who the Justice is in that District. There is a possibility that the ruling violates the State Constitution and that SCOTUS could block the ruling until a hearing can be held. But again, they refused to do any of that in 2020 across the board.

Honestly, (pun intended) we have to learn to cheat better than they do in PA,

The Steal of 2024 is in full swing.

Are we to consider ourselves subject to the “laws” of a fake government and its phony “elections”?
