The PA Sup Ct decision-allowing ballots after the election without even postmark overstepped its constitutional authority, encroached on PA leg authority & violated the Election Clauses. Therefore, we are seeking #SCOTUS review & reversal of the PA Sup Ct. wsj.com/livecoverage/t…
The PA leg decided to allow mail in voting ONLY if ballots were received by Election Day. The PA Ct rewrote the law to allow ballots to be counted days AFTER the election & not even postmarked. We’re asking #SCOTUS to take the case & reverse. Legislatures set rules for elections
Further, the PA Supreme Court supercharged concern of mail in ballot fraud by allowing mail in ballots to be received several days after Election Day without a postmark. Americans deserve to have faith in their elections. Big important principals are at stake here.
Also worth noting: PA Sup Ct 1. Admitted leg’s Election Day Deadlline was unambiguous 2. Conceded it was Constitutional 3. Relied on slimmest evid rationales for its decision 4. Departed on its prior holdings 5. Disregarded clear severability cl enacted to prevent this scenario
