A Pennsylvania judge on Wednesday ordered state officials to not certify the results of the 2020 election until her court holds a hearing on an election contest on Friday.
Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough ordered the state to not take any further steps to complete the certification of the presidential race, which the state announced on Tuesday. She also blocked the certification of all the other election results.
“To the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America, respondents are preliminarily enjoined from doing so, pending an evidentiary hearing to be held on Friday,” the judge wrote in her order (pdf).
“Respondents are preliminarily enjoined from certifying the remaining results of the election, pending the evidentiary hearing.”
McCullough is presiding over a lawsuit brought by Republican lawmakers and candidates against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, and the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
The plaintiffs alleged that Pennsylvania’s vote-by-mail stature—Act 77—is in violation of the state’s constitution.
“Act 77 is the most expansive and fundamental change to the Pennsylvania voting code, implemented illegally, to date,” the lawsuit, filed in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, states.
“As with prior historical attempts to illegally expand mail-in voting by statute, which have been struck down going as far back as the Military Absentee Ballot Act of 1839, Act 77 is another illegal attempt to override the limitations on absentee voting prescribed in the Pennsylvania Constitution, without first following the necessary procedure to amend the constitution to allow for the expansion.”

This is great news, prevents Biden from getting 270 for now and give time to Trump camp to get evidence before court to put PA into Trump column. But PA isn’t enough for Trump to get to 270, it only takes Biden under 270 I believe.
More is going to drop in other states. This is only beginning.
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark.

This posting from earlier this am mentions that PA didn’t certify 2016 election results until Dec 12, 2016.
At the very least, hoping this is a “Hold your horses, what’s the rush NOW” from the court.
I heard yesterday some of the Republicans in Pennsylvania voted for this law as a concession to get their desire to have straight ticket balloting disallowed. To a person, they said they did not know that changes to the mail in ballots required a constitutional amendment.
It should be an open and shut case, period. The mail-n ballots should be tossed.
I needed some good news.
There’s one for the fact checkers to choke on.

Thanks for the realtime report.
Judges are aware that the “pack the court” crowd can destroy their rule of law.
All bets are off now.......
