If youve been following the mainstream media, youve 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 Alitos 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 didnt 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...

Yep, Mail-In voting is here to stay. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Yep. Evil ones have been writing history for more than one hundred years.
I suppose PA Freepers should be contacting their state representatives then.
“The PA legislators can step in declare Trump the winner”
After the votes are counted?
No way.
Why not? They tell them how to do everything else.
Biden will have peace BECAUSE our side are a bunch of PUSSYS!!!!!
“It will be worse next time”
Next time they won’t have to cheat. They will have so rejiggered the system as to make it unnecessary...like CA.
They ignore the Supreme Court because they don’t respect the Constitution. They don’t respect any of the institutions that are established by the Constitutions. There are no consequences from ignoring it. Just like a classroom where a teacher cannot or will not enforce the rules.
I trust Thomas and Alito, but are all three of Trump’s Justices going to come through?
What makes you think the vote dumps at 3 AM and both Wisconsin and Michigan Wont be thrown out come on 100 and some odd thousand to zero 23,000 to 0 60,000 and zero whatever the numbers were you throw that out
It was 4-4 a few weeks ago, so the lower court ruling was stayed. Now we have another constitutionalist on the court - ACB
A picture says a thousand words.
Isn’t that precious.
They probably separated the envelopes from the ballots.
Exactly!
Says it all doesn’t it!
True! And most of us aren’t going to bother voting!
