A Delaware judge ruled Wednesday that a new vote-by-mail law enacted earlier this year is unconstitutional and that voting by mail cannot be used in the November election.
Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook ruled that the law, the result of legislation that Democrats rammed through the General Assembly in less than three weeks this past June, violates a provision in Delaware’s constitution that spells out the circumstances under which a person is allowed to cast an absentee ballot.
“Our Supreme Court and this court have consistently stated that those circumstances are exhaustive,” Cook wrote. “Therefore, as a trial judge, I am compelled by precedent to conclude that the vote-by-mail statute’s attempt to expand absentee voting ... must be rejected.”

Jane Brady, a retired judge and former Delaware attorney general who also represented plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said mail-in voting “does not comport with the constitution.”
...
“I believe that the legislature has known from day one that they needed a constitutional amendment to do this,” she added, noting that lawmakers acknowledged during debate on the legislation that it could likely face a court challenge.
“In my view, they abdicated their responsibility,” said Brady, who is also chair of the state Republican Party.

Dems will still cheat.
If this ruling stands, the Democrats will find some “exhausting circumstance” just as they did with COVID.
all states should have done this.
Will the Democrats shrug it off and just do it anyway? The FBI will back them up.
It is also mostly unconstitutional in PA.
Yet, it continues.
So Diaper Joe got advanced warning about a court ruling? Sounds illegal to me. This is why he rushed down to Delaware to cast a ballot in person because had they not known about the ruling it would have looked hilarious that Jerkoff Joe would have had his ballot disqualified.
They'll try, but this takes out a major tool in their toolbox.
Plus, they know they're being watched.
Does this only apply to Delaware? Or elsewhere?
Women and minorities hardest hit.
A multimillion-dollar effort to enact ranked-choice voting in Missouri has failed .. Marxists are pouring millions of dollars into ranked-choice voting initiatives across the country. This is strategic.
States that have gone to a ranked-choice voting system — much like states that have gone to a mail-in balloting system — trend blue

I’m surprised they haven’t arrested the judge yet.
Just DE. It’s an issue with the state constitution.

This would also OUTLAW all the DROP BOXES, also????

Gov Inslee still holding onto Emergency Powers-through Oct 31.
No, I believe the stupid Republican controlled PA General Assembly (PA House & Senate), passed PA-Act-77, which allows for unrestricted mail-in voting. Shame on PA Republican leaders in Harrisburg.
In Delaware? Interesting.
Even tho PA constitution says you can’t have open mail in ballots, the corrupt republicans and the corrupt judges say it’s ok. never mind. Mastriano also voted for it. Act 77.
