State Judge Rules Democrats’ Vote-by-mail Law Unconstitutional and Prohibits It in November

After failing to secure Republican support to alter Delaware's Constitution to enshrine mail-in voting rights, Democrat lawmakers in the state passed a bill on June 22 enabling registered voters to request a mail-in ballot before the election without an excuse. It was signed into law by Democrat Gov. John Carney on July 22.

On Wednesday, Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook of the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled SB 320 unconstitutional.

Although in the November general election, those who cannot make it to the polls can still request an absentee ballot and same-day registration is still allowed, mail-in voting will be prohibited.

The statute that permitted vote-by-mail in 2020 expired January 2021. With the now stricken law, Democrats sought to extend and enshrine mail-in voting beyond the pandemic-era statute first ushered in with Carney's declaration of a state of emergency.

The constitutionality of the law was thought questionable even by some Democrats ahead of its passing.

The Democrat speaker of the Delaware state House, Pete Schwartzkop, stated he didn't know "whether it's constitutional or not constitutional, and neither do you guys, or anybody else in here."

Delaware once gave us great U.S. Senators like Bill Roth and John Williams. Any Freepers old enough to remember John Williams?

He was the only senator with enough guts to keep pushing the corruption investigations of Lyndon B. Johnson after LBJ arranged the assassination of JFK and seized the oval office.

The rats: “RULING? “We need no stinking ruling!” The rats are notorious for doing crap like this and then one week before the election the judge flips and OKs the voting by mail crap! They’ve done this every election season. Few days before the election they take some crap before a judge and the judge always rules in favor of them. And Of course always catching the Republicans flatfoot with time expiring and no time to build a defense! Happened 2020 it happened in the past elections and it’s gonna happen again.

ROFLMAO! Two years too late, state morons. Now we're all stuck with an absolutely disastrous, clueless, senile Sleepy puppet as the so-called "President." And their "backup plan" is VP Laughing Hyena.

Meanwhile, the Democrats/RINOs are laughing their butts off as they constantly yell and accuse Trump of telling his "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was stolen.

As Time Magazine in its Feb. 2021 article wrote, the 2020 election wasn't "stolen," it was "Saved" by the Democrat/RINO "cabal" that "secretly" gathered in 2019 to plan how to "Save" the election from Trump. (If you don't believe me, go read that Time Magazine article ... and maybe some of the Doubting Thomases who still think the 2020 election was legit will finally open their eyes. Time Magazine obviously doesn't tell the whole story but it does admit that Democrats/RINOs stole, oops, "Saved" the election from Trump.)

So instead of researching and discussing it, just say, “Let’s do it anyway! Who knows, maybe it’ll stick!”

The Dems in Delaware are an arrogant bunch since they control both parts of the General Assembly, the Gov,AG, auditor,county offices, etc.

While everyone is watching the mail in battle, no one is fighting the new same day registrations. I’m betting the unions will be running buses from homeless camps to the polling places on election day.

Without the unconstitutioal absentee votes in 2920, Biden would not have won even his own state.

The way they did it brfore the judge says "NO!" back in 2020:

With mail ballots processed as they come in, Delaware election officials do not expect result delay

( Delaware Public Media; By Sophia Schmidt
Published November 2, 2020 at 4:54 PM EST ) Excerpt:

With a temporary no-excuse vote-by-mail system instituted this year because of the pandemic, Delaware has blown past its previous absentee voting records. In the 2016 General Election, just around 25,000 people voted absentee, according to the Delaware Department of Elections.

Delaware Election Commissioner Anthony Albence says his department has been processing the mail-in ballots as they come in this year—which involves checking the signatures on the envelopes, unfolding the ballots, sorting them, and scanning them. The ballots are then ready to be tabulated, or counted, right when the polls close on election night.

“We want to be sure that we have as many results available as soon as possible after the polls close,” said Albence. “Being able to process them in advance and getting everything ready is key to that.” Apparently they did it just like in Fulton County, GA?

Let's see what happens in November for the election of a Representative to Congress. They have always used that seat to get the next Governor ready to be elected. Eh?

Nothing. It will just show the honest support they have.
