[Democrat = party of treason]

What a shtshow that State has become...

[CapnJack]

Well, with this ruling, Penn. will be in Camel-toe’s column for November.

There will be no way for Trump to win in this state.

Trumps legal team can’t be AWOL on this. Appeal to a higher court even the Supremes. Same old corrupt bull shit.

I’m honestly surprised this stupid case is still being litigated, and the PA GOP has pissed away all that money fighting it.

1. Putting a date on the outside of an envelope is completely meaningless when the ballot still has to be received by a ballot deadline.

2. The law in question is so idiotic that it doesn’t even require the mail-in voter to put a correct date on the ballot — just ANY date. The case was originally filed in court because it turned out that some counties were rejecting ballots with no dates on them while others were following the law to a T and accepting ballots that had clearly farcical dates written on them — like July 4th of 1776, Pearl Harbor Day, February 30th or any year, etc.

The Republicans signing up for Kamala and Chaos.

Nothing new.

[Does so]

Saving “Democracy”...

[Blue Highway]

After the election if Trump loses there will be hand wringing and tough talk about the injustice of allowing this but then 4 more years of evil. Republicans like to lose but then whine and complain for 4 years

[Old Grumpy]

And this is how to STEAL/CORRUPT an election. I bet Harris will win PA in a landslide.

Read Post #6. This court case was an overblown waste of money all around.

Please note that mail-in ballot requests are way down this year in Pennsylvania.

It appears there is a good chance that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the Federal Appeals Court (3rd District) will uphold the date requirements.

[Alberta's Child]

The date requirement is ludicrous. I’m no fan of PA state courts, but the majority ruling is 100% correct on this point:

”The date on the outer mail-in ballot envelopes is not used to determine the timeliness of a ballot, a voter’s qualifications/eligibility to vote, or fraud. Therefore, the dating provisions serve no compelling government interest.”

I can’t imagine why an appellate court would overturn this ruling.

[God luvs America]

yes there is- just cheat like the democrats...

[Bob Wills is still the king]

“Please note that mail-in ballot requests are way down this year in Pennsylvania.”

This is in the attachment to your post:

“Oct. 29 — Final day to request a mail-in absentee ballot.”

That’s plenty of time to blanket the state with “ballot access” drives.

I’m not an attorney but the court is not interpreting law here. They are usurping legislative power.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct

Anyone who doesn’t like the legislature’s decision should be going to the legislature to change the result, not the courts.
