| Pennsylvania Democrats Notch Key Election-Related Court Wins | |
| 2020-09-17 | |
| [Local10.com] HARRISBURG, Pa. Pennsylvania's highest court gave the Democratic Party a series of victories Thursday in the presidential battleground state, relaxing deadlines in its fledgling mail-in voting law, approving more ballot collection sites and kicking the Green Party's presidential candidate off the November ballot. The state Supreme Court, which has a 5-2 Democratic majority, granted the Democratic Party's request to order an extension of Pennsylvania's Election Day deadline to count mailed-in ballots. The extension it granted, in a 4-3 decision,will allow three more days to receive ballots that were mailed before polls closed. It cited warnings of the prospect of postal service delays in invalidating huge numbers of ballots and demand for mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic to invoke the power, used previously by the state's courts, to extend election deadlines during a disaster emergency. In party-line decisions by the state's elected justices, the court also upheld the use of satellite election offices and drop boxes to help counties collect the expected avalanche of mail-in ballots, and ruled that the Green Party's presidential nominee didn't follow procedures for getting on November's ballot and cannot appear on it. Are you getting it yet? "Pandemic! Mail delays! Speshull powerz! The election's not over 'til Harris/Biden wins!" It's almost like all the strands of some sort of plan coming together, isn't it? Naahh... Congrats to all the "thoughtful conservatives" and "libertarians" who went along with all this stuff.
