If you’ve been following the mainstream media, you’ve probably read that Trump intends to file a lawsuit in Pennsylvania to “stop counting votes.” Most likely, this has been presented as an outrageous evil, unjustifiable by any standards of common decency, and grossly unconstitutional. Is that really the case?
...
In 2019, the PA legislature passed a law called Act 77 that permitted all voters to cast their ballots by mail but (in Justice Alito’s words) “unambiguously required that all mailed ballots be received by 8 p.m. on election day.” The exact text is 2019 Pa. Leg. Serv. Act 2019-77, which stated: “No absentee ballot under this subsection shall be counted which is received in the office of the county board of elections later than eight o'clock P.M. on the day of the primary or election.” I agree with Justice Alito: That is unambiguous.
Act 77 also provided that if this portion of the law was invalidated, that much of the rest of Act 77, including its liberalization of mail-in voting, would also be void. The exact text is: “Sections 1, 2, 3, 3.2, 4, 5, 5.1, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 of this act are nonseverable. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remaining provisions or applications of this act are void.”
...
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court didn’t just say “Act 77 is unconstitutional.” It re-wrote Act 77 itself, by judicial fiat, creating new rules for time, place, and manner, of holding elections. In doing so, the State Supreme Court violated the US Federal Constitution.
... The US Supreme Court is going to rule that the State Supreme Court violated the US Constitution, .. and the votes that arrived after 8 PM on election day will be discarded...

Exactly. They saw Florida results and pulled out the plan.
Rainbows and Unicorns is all Biden will see.
They probably passed this law to keep the military votes from counting. It will bite them on the butt this time.
I agree, and no one seems to be able to do anything about it? Do they think there will ever be a real election after this? Do they think we are going to go back to business as usual after this and say ‘oh well’? The GOP is about to lose half of its base if Trump is robbed of his Presidency, but they are too stupid to realize that!
“More correctly, Mr. Realistic.“
Thankfully, President Trump is a winner, and doesn’t share your “realism”.
Mail-In ballots are here to stay, and we’re going to have to figure out how to deal with it. Democrats have no incentive to change the system as long as they benefit from it.
“the votes that arrived after 8 PM on election day will be discarded. On that basis, Trump will win Pennsylvania.”
Those votes were NOT segregated as directed by the USSC.
Nobody knows which ballots were received after 8pm on election day, and many if not most of them have already been counted.
The Federal courts have never ordered votes to be uncounted in the past.
If they count enough for Biden to win the state, it will stand.
I don’t think they are, the only reason they were allowed this time was because of the virus.
“Have they separated the after No 3 ballots? “
No.
In violation of a USSC order.
A FOX in the FOX House.
The PA legislators can step in declare Trump the winner
How do you prove what ballets arrived after the deadline?
The remedy for that sort of fraud in the past, where it has been adjudicated, is to void *all* of the vote for that precinct. Sounds harsh, but effectively the fraudulent ballots have "contaminated" all the votes to where you can't determine good from bad. They *all* get tossed.
No way, this is a godsend for Democrats. They will not get rid of it.
“How do you prove what ballets arrived after the deadline?”
You really can’t, assuming the RATs have scurried fast enough to throw them in with the legal batch of ballots.
And when it is discovered that a whole bunch of untraceable ballots that arrived after 11/3 “accidentally” got dumped into the mix, defying the court order of segregation, what then?
Any bets wether that will happen?
Feds can’t tell the States how to run their elections.
This whole damn cheating scandal is so depressing to me.
It will be worse next time
Yes, they can be identified. The true ballots have a certain watermark on them. The fraudulent ones don’t.
