I was under the impression that only state legislatures can change a state’s election laws. Not Federal judges.
Every ballot must be counted, except GOP ballots
Ok. Let the RNC dump begin. It will be the first election in US history where the number of voters exceeds the general population.
I don’t fault Trump for this, as he was likely just having a subordinate pick out possible appointments because...he likely delegated that and had to trust advice before approving the appointment.
We know how many swamp denizens were advising him.
“On July 30, 2015, President Barack Obama nominated Baxter to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania”
She was renominated by Trump.
Still time to appeal, if they will.
If the richest, most technologically advanced country in the history of countries is claiming it cannot verify voter rolls or count votes, it’s not because they lack the ability!
(It’s because someone very powerful does not want it done!”
Perhaps it’s worth considering the idea of outsourcing our elections to Argentina’s capable hands? That might ensure we learn the results within a day and alleviate concerns about Democrats cheating.
Law school was ground zero for leftist indoctrination, it is virtually impossible to find a judge who isn’t brainwashed.
Either that or this person is insane?
This makes no sense whatsoever.
We are becoming Venezuela
That’s right.
Leaving aside the issue of federal overreach, and of distaste for the easy-peasy mail ballot approach making it sooooo easy to ballot harvest . . .
(I love the great success the RNC has had of standing up a ballot harvest strategy. /sarc). . .
Isn’t this ruling logical on the facts in view? If the ballot is received by election day, the missing date makes no difference, substantively, though it is a process error. What am I missing? It may have been filled out I guess too early?
The answer to that idiot is NO. And when the time comes, fire and jail anyone willing to comply. As I tell people in my office, the Nuremberg excuse (“I was only following orders”) got a lot of people hung.
Pennsylvania’s election law is so poorly written that it requires a written date to be marked on the ballot envelope, but it doesn’t even require the date to be ACCURATE. So a ballot mailed in 2024 would be considered valid even of the date on it is July 4, 1776 or February 31, 2024.
Every major institution in the country is captured by the Left.
You are correct. The state legislature makes the rules.
This had been appealed all the way up to SCOTUS.
Guess it could work its way up again
The U.S. Supreme Court earlier Tuesday(Oct 2022) had declared as moot a decision in May by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that had said mail-in ballots without a required date on the return envelope had to be counted in a 2021 Pennsylvania judge race.
The set aside mail-ins flipped the judge seat from Repub to RAT.
Gotta hand it to Obama - he was relentless in his pursuit of stacking every nook and cranny of American officialdom with hard core Leftist and nobody has been more creative at funding them with taxpayer money to enable their fundamental changing of America.
