while it is true that Act 77 was passed by the state legislature, it seems to have violated the PA state constitution’s requirements on absentee voting. The second highest court in PA found that Act 77 was unconstitutional on that basis.
The Commonwealth Court, in a 3-2 January decision, found that the Pennsylvania Constitution requires voters to appear at the polls in person unless they have one of a number of excuses specified in amendments that allow voting by absentee ballot. The opinion cited two cases both more than 100 years old.
In the opinion by the Supreme Court majority, Justice Christine Donohue wrote the courts were interpreting a version of that constitution that predated Pennsylvania’s voter registration laws when “arguably, the only way to verify an individual’s qualifications to vote in an election district was to allow his neighbors to identify him as qualified.”
Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law has been upheld by the state's Supreme Court, allowing all voters in the key swing state to cast ballots by mail in November and for other future elections.
In a 5-2 decision released Tuesday, the Democratic-majority court overturned a lower court's ruling from January that found Pennsylvania's Act 77 to be in violation of the state's constitution.
"We find no restriction in our Constitution on the General Assembly's ability to create universal mail-in voting," Justice Christine Donohue wrote in the majority opinion.
I knew that it was passed unconstitutionally, but didn't hear about the court ruling.
If there is no universal mail in voting and we go back to in person, PDJT will win, in a landslide, again.
