A legal advocacy group led by former high-ranking members of the Trump administration sued Lehigh County election officials to ensure that drop-off ballot boxes are properly used.
The lawsuit asks Lehigh County Court to order the officials to follow state law and ensure that a person drops off only one ballot, unless authorized to deliver another for someone else.
The lawsuit cites county DA Jim Martin’s investigation earlier this year that determined, based on video surveillance, at least 288 people deposited MULTIPLE ballots in the November 2021 election.
The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the Lehigh County Republican Committee.
Three weeks before the May 17 primary, Martin, a Republican, announced that he would deploy county detectives and video surveillance of the five ballot box locations to make sure people didn’t turn in more than one ballot without authorization.
America First Legal Foundation – led by Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser to President Trump, and Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff – filed the lawsuit Sept. 1 on behalf of four county voters, Sean Gill, Robert Smith, Tim Ramos and Jackie Rivera, all of Allentown.
The group asked the court to order that:
Boxes be placed inside a building and accessible only during regular business weekday hours.
(Only one of the five drop-box locations, in the Lehigh County Government Center in Allentown, has been available 24/7.)
The boxes be monitored by people to ensure that the law is followed.
The county Election Board not count void and invalid ballots in all future elections.
Lehigh County Court set a hearing for the case at 9:30 a.m. Monday.
In 2019, a new state law, passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature, expanded no-excuse, mail-in voting to all registered voters.
That option first was used in the April 2020 presidential primary.

From the smell of things in PA they’ve got their own swamp thing going
Yes. Here’s another article about it.
“4 Allentown residents sue Lehigh County, demand tighter restrictions on mail-in ballot drop boxes”
“In 2019, a new state law, passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature, expanded no-excuse, mail-in voting to all registered voters.”
Idiots.
Don’t they mean Nov 2020 election and not the Nov 3021 election?
“In 2019, a new state law, passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature, expanded no-excuse, mail-in voting to all registered voters.”

All a part of their plan to coordinate with the Democrats to get rid of DJT. Trump was pissing in everyone’s cornflakes, left and right, and it could NOT be allowed to continue.

I see you have fat fingers and bad eyesight as well. Welcome to the party! Getting old is not for the timid nor those with a lack of humor.
“In 2019, a new state law, passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature, expanded no-excuse, mail-in voting to all registered voters.” Against the direct reading of the PA constitution. And Mastriano voted for it.
Idiots.>>>> Yes. No shortage of republican idiots. I think Mastriano figured out that Corman and Greenwood were the enemy.
Republicans in Harrisburg wanted to eliminate straight-ticket voting as part of the legislation, so they voted for Act 77, which gave us no-excuse mail-in voting. All but 2 Republicans voted for it.
Yea i read further down and i saw what they were talking about I thought they were talking about the stolen election in 2020. My mistake!!
The attempt to steal second has begun
In 2019, a new state law, passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature, expanded no-excuse, mail-in voting to all registered voters BUT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONALLY MODIFIED AFTER PASSAGE BY THE GOVERNOR AND PASC.
A little superglue on the drop box door will fix the problem.
