January 1, Pennsylvania Mail-In Voting Law Unconstitutional, Court Rules
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…

A Pennsylvania court ruled that the state’s mail-in voting law is unconstitutional, saying that the state’s Constitution requires voters to cast ballots in person unless they meet specific requirements.
Three Republican judges sided with the challengers, while two Democrats on the panel dissented.
“No-excuse mail-in voting makes the exercise of the franchise more convenient and has been used four times in the history of Pennsylvania,” Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt wrote.
“Approximately 1.38 million voters have expressed their interest in voting by mail permanently. If presented to the people, a constitutional amendment … is likely to be adopted. But a constitutional amendment must be presented to the people” before such legislation can take effect.
The state quickly appealed the ruling, triggering an automatic stay on Act 77, which will remain in place while the Pennsylvania Supreme Court hears the case.
“This opinion is based on twisted logic and faulty reasoning, and is wrong on the law,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro tweeted.
“The issue will now go before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and we are confident that Act 77 will ultimately be upheld as constitutional.”
The Pennsylvania state legislature passed a law in 2019 with bipartisan support to allow no-excuse mail voting for all voters.
Before the law was enacted, the mail-in voting option was available for individuals unable to vote in person for specific reasons.

Why will it stay for (assuming) 10+ more months? While not PA Constitutionally definite, Change to PA. Election Operations was “passed quickly,” and any repeal has already taken almost 2 years. Who knew? Sometimes the wheels of justice turn slowly, sometimes they turn so fast citizens can’t possibly keep up.. Probability, to me, says if it ‘worked once but maybe not again, it will be delayed as long as possible, then distracted and denied to ensure the desired outcome.’
