November 12, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar “lacked statutory authority” to direct state election officials to count mail-in ballots even if they did not receive proof of identification by November 9, President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt of Pennsylvania ruled Thursday in a victory for the Trump campaign’s legal campaign to prevent the state from being certified for Democrat nominee Joe Biden.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled before the election that election officials in Pennsylvania (as well as North Carolina) could accept absentee ballots for up to three days after the election, though the court also ruled several days later that all ballots that would arrive beyond the legal deadline be segregated and counted separately, in response to a lawsuit by state Republicans to stop a last-minute rule change by Boockvar that allowed the ballots to be counted and co-mingled with ballots that had arrived on time.
But on Thursday, Leavitt ruled that the Secretary of the Commonwealth “lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline [...] for certain electors to verify proof of identification.”

Ping
This is a small number of votes and they weren’t included in the previously announced totals, so this won’t affect the outcome in any way.

What about the ones already counted?
“ Trump campaign’s legal campaign to prevent the state from being certified for Democrat nominee Joe Biden”
Ha haha, so sorry, basement boy!
Makes no difference. Biden already won on the ballots which were counted.
How do we know the late arriving ballots were not mixed with regular ballots before Alito’s ruling on Saturday? We don’t...and there is likely no way to correct it.
Whoops! I miss quoted the sub headline as referring to the Trump Administration when I should have used the word campaign instead. Sorry!
True, but I hope it's a sign that judges will not roll over by letting the Demon-crats get away with stealing the most important election in this country's history.
But it is the precedent that is being set that is important. The SoS had no business overriding the Legislative branch. So, it will affect the outcome in the long run. Sorry to disappoint you.
I will assume that is correct but I KNOW you 2 are likely miserable ####s who CANT WAIT to rain on people’s parades and are likely quite miserable to be around :)
You couldn’t WAIT to get that news out there.
God forbid people be happy for a moment on your watch!! :)
And it sets a precedent and IS a court victory, which shows we CAN win.
But you guys would never include that :)
Goes against everything you stand for... :)
What about the 130,000 ballots with no verification of correct signature by a republican observer, dumped into the system at 4 am on Nov 4th, and all marked ONLY for Biden and no other down line positions?
For, what - the 3rd or 4th time - now?
Even Ronna McDaniel is calling this a huge victory.

You voted for President Trump but someone had already submitted a fraudulent vote for Biden in your name and they failed to make sure your ballot made it to an incinerator.
Bump
They already have been counting them since the 4th even though they were told not to you so the numbers are mixed in stopping now is not enough they should be required to throw everything from 11/4 out since they ignored the Alito order and their own pinky promise on the 28th of October and the order on the 5th of November.
They messed up and their count can not stand.
