After failing to secure Republican support to alter Delaware's Constitution to enshrine mail-in voting rights, Democrat lawmakers in the state passed a bill on June 22 enabling registered voters to request a mail-in ballot before the election without an excuse. It was signed into law by Democrat Gov. John Carney on July 22.
On Wednesday, Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook of the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled SB 320 unconstitutional. Although in the November general election, those who cannot make it to the polls can still request an absentee ballot and same-day registration is still allowed, mail-in voting will be prohibited.
The statute that permitted vote-by-mail in 2020 expired January 2021. With the now stricken law, Democrats sought to extend and enshrine mail-in voting beyond the pandemic-era statute first ushered in with Carney's declaration of a state of emergency.
The constitutionality of the law was thought questionable even by some Democrats ahead of its passing.
Five plaintiffs, represented by Delaware Republican Party Chairwoman Jane Brady and Republican candidate for attorney general Julianne Murray, obliged Schwartzkop. In July, they filed a lawsuit in Delaware's Chancery Court.
On July 22, Brady, formerly Delaware's attorney general, stated, "The Constitution provides you must vote in person on election day unless you qualify under very limited conditions to vote absentee." Mail-in voting, she said, "violates that requirement, as it allows voting without declaring or meeting any of those limited conditions."
Brady also had also highlighted how Carney signed the bill into law in a private ceremony on a Friday and accused Democrats of hiding. "They know that many Delawareans do not support mail-in voting." An additional reason for the stealthy enactment, suggested Brady, was that Democrats "know that it is unconstitutional."

Brave judge. The Democrat Party is likely to deploy it’s BLM goon squad.
Mail in ballots uber alles is now the party motto.
Brandon’s own state has Jim Eagle laws and must have evil MAGA Judges, too. How dare they uphold the Constitution!!
Hell I can’t even get my bills delivered before they are due here in the Buckeye outback . I had to switch them all over to electronic notification to keep them from being late . We get a few newbies that really try and often excel but it doesn’t take long to break them . Mail in voting looks like a democrat project .
He’ll be doxed, you can be sure of that.
And the Red State of Georgia did codify that which was not really legal and paved the way for Biden, et al
Yup, Democrats stole the 2020 election. We all know it, including the FBI, DOJ, etc. That’s why they can’t allow any entity question the results.
Too bad it was not in a state that it would help us like Pennsylvania or Arizona.
Stalking is illegal, you know.
