The case, which was brought by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, is similar to another one being litigated in federal court, which was put on pause while the state's supreme court considered the matter. The federal case, essentially a reverse of the state case, was brought by President Donald Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee.
The state supreme court's ruling pushed the deadline for receiving absentee ballots to Nov. 6, or three days after Election Day, if they are postmarked by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. It also held that the election code permitted drop boxes for submitting mail-in ballots. The court ruling, authored by Justice Max Baer, did contain some bad news for Democrats. It rejected their argument that election boards should have to notify voters whose ballots contained minor defects to allow them to "cure" the errors.
Following the ruling, both sides claimed partial victories. Marc Elias, a lawyer fighting on behalf of the Democratic Party in a number of suits around the country, said on Twitter that the ruling was a "a very good result for those of us fighting for voting rights."
The only way DemocRATs can beat Trump is by mail voting, it’s full of potential fraud.
The Court just allowed the Democratic Party to steal PA. PA State government corrupt top to bottom. Tampering with the election. As obvious as a rainy day.
So surprised. So much easier to cheat. Dems know they have to cheat to win.
Terrible. The USPS has stopped home delivery service anyway. Absentee ballots are a terrible idea.
