BREAKING: Judge orders Pennsylvania to stop counting segregated late ballots

This is a crucial victory for the Trump campaign.

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.”

I'm no Constitutional scholar but it seems to me that it would be very difficult for SCOTUS to ignore this.

They were. That ruling on Sat was the 2nd time it was addressed. On the 28th of October The Pa lady I don’t know her name she told the court she would separate all the votes that came in after election day at 8pm she did not instead on the 1st she violated what she said they would do and told some counties not all to canvass and count them. So looks like the only remedy is to throw out anything from the 4th in my opinion.

Well then, why would Lifesite News describe this as "a crucial victory for the Trump administration?"

Clicks? I don't know. Math is math. None of these votes had been included in the count in the first place and the number is small.

Of course, it’s the only reason a “judge” would rule for Trump. Now they Ppear impartial.

Using different counting procedures in different counties is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

In Bush v Gore that was one of the reasons Gore lost they were counting votes differently.

Whats the number? All the votes they were counting from Wed through Saturday were not just votes in by November 3rd at 8pm.

Because they’re not very bright?

This is a moral victory, but an empty one.

Beginning to look like less than half measures so they can say they did their work.

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 :)

(1) Not everyone who posts is correct. Those that you replied to might be right, or they might be walking crap factories whose sole purpose is to demoralize; or, (2) Maybe they're "cat people", who usually tend to be miserable and inspire others to thoughts of suicide.

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.

That is what they say, but how do we know that it is a small number? With no independent observers present, what proof is there that all of those late ballots were segregated? None! And reportedly they threw away the envelopes and outer shells of all the ballots.

There are 10,000 ballots that were received in PA after November 3. They were segregated and none of them were included in the totals. Biden is leading by 50,000 votes in PA - so it doesn't matter either way.

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?

I googled that and that seems to be a story out of MI - what does that have to do with PA?

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.

So then what's the remedy?
