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.”

BREAKING: Judge orders Pennsylvania to stop counting segregated late ballots

Call it intuition, but I seriously doubt Pennsylvania fully complied with Justice Alito's order to segregate late ballots.

The Main Media doesn’t believe there was voter fraud. They are registered Democrats.

You will come to see that you are absolutely wrong. But the truth is you already know it. Joe Biden will never be president.

I'm wrong about what? There may be other lawsuits that prevent Biden from being elected, but this one isn't relevant - it doesn't change the totals at all.

Yeah, I’m just guessing. But trying to sound jubilantly hopeful.

Has John Roberts ever ruled in favor of one side when that side willfully disobeyed an order issued by a fellow supreme court justice (Alito)? Even though some have said that Pennsylvania election officers did segregate those mail-in ballots that arrived after 8 pm on November 3, 2020, I doubt all of them did.

Unless the Supreme Court rules voter fraud and disqualifies all of them.

Don’t know about that one, but Roberts certainly contorted himself into a legal pretzel to decree that the Obamacare individual mandate was a tax...perpetuating an unconstitutional monstrosity imposed on the American people...

Yes the small things do matter. John D. MacArthur once told me to “watch out for the pennies and the dollars would take care of themselves.” Big things follow small things. Take heart by this win, whatever its size.
