A group of 24 Republican legislators in Pennsylvania has filed a federal complaint against President Joe Biden, Governor Josh Shapiro, and representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of State, alleging that they have usurped legislative authority by changing voter registration and election rules.
The lawsuit was reported by the Epoch Times. According to the legislators, the Elections Clause and the Electors Clause of the United States Constitution give state legislators the sole constitutional right to determine election procedures, and the president, governor, or other executive officials, such as the secretary of state, have no authority to create, rewrite, or disregard laws established by the legislature. The organization claims they have been unconstitutionally barred from the legislative process that governs federal elections for president and Congress.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, as reported: Pennsylvania state Reps. Dawn Keefer, Timothy Bonner, Barry Jozwiak, Barbara Gleim, Joseph Hamm, Wendy Fink, Robert Kauffman, Stephanie Borowicz, Donald (Bud) Cook, Paul Michael Jones, Joseph D’Orsie, Charity Krupa, Leslie Rossi, David Zimmerman, Robert Leadbeter, Dan Moul, Thomas Jones, David Maloney, Timothy Twardzik, David Rowe, Joanne Stehr, Aaron Bernstine, Kathy Rapp, and state Sen. Cris Dush.
Their case in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania petitions a court to declare three measures unconstitutional: President Biden’s voter registration executive order, Shapiro’s voter registration action, and certain Department of State directions.
They urge that the court impose an injunction banning the president, governor, and state executives from making future modifications to Pennsylvania’s electoral process without first going through the legislative process.
According to the court filings, the legislature is solely responsible for enacting election procedures, including voter registration.

After emptying the entire fuel tank on top of the pile, in the middle of the interstate, then dancing around it, while it burns.
Hmm, perhaps a feather head dress, and war paint?
let me guess
no standing
‘Cuz...laches... or some s#!+...
Why don’t you wait till after the Election? You waited 3 years ,while you sat on your hands, and did nothing.
Ha! the PA supreme court thinks it has the job of deciding how elections work.
4 years...too effing LATE!
I’ve said all along that the State Legislatures were the ones harmed, they had standing.
This should have been done immediately when the executive changed election rules by fiat.
They cowered in their masks and stayed 6-feet away from any such conflict!
COWARDS all.
“Why don’t you wait till after the Election? You waited 3 years ,while you sat on your hands, and did nothing.”
Exactly. Same could be said of Gov Abbott and the border fence. Why wait 3 years to build it? Typical f’ing Republicans. Wait until the damage is done to do anything about it.

and campaign on the problem with empty promises to fix what they made zero effort to fix.
Things like this will be done in every state during the summer. None will make it thru court before they steal another election.
