on Friday morning, saying that voters must amend the state constitution before such legislation is legal.
The ruling can be appealed to a higher court. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is comprised of five Democrats and two Republicans. In Aug. 2021, 14 Republican members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives filed suit against the state’s mail voting law alleging it unconstitutional and, in Sept. 2021, Bradford County Commissioner Doug McLinko filed a similar suit; the two lawsuits were consolidated. The Democratic National Committee and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, as well as several GOP county committees, intervened to defend the law with the state.
Fueled by Trump's false claims, many Republicans have sought to restrict or stop mail voting in states across the country. Following the ruling, the former president heralded the news.
Absurd
Supporters of the law are wiping their butts with the state Constitution.
This is the Democrat plan. Make illegal or unconstitutional moved to gain power. Once it is struck down, the damage has already been done and outcome achieved, so who cares.
Funny because I remember along with CNN and others attacking certain Congress people for pointing out this law was unconstitutional last year. In fact they were accused of being part of the “big lie” simply because they understood how laws should be enacted. Shameful.
This is gonna be appealed, right?
