Pa. Supreme Court rejects Trump campaign claim that Republicans lacked access to Philly vote count

“We conclude the board did not act contrary to the law in fashioning its regulations governing the positioning of candidate representatives,” Justice Debra Todd wrote for the majority. “Critically, we find the board’s regulations … were reasonable.”

WITHIN 6 feet, like 1 foot away so you can see it?

Or only FROM 6 feet or more, at which you cannot see a damnable thing?

Jeez. Reporters and judges can’t make anything clear.

5 to 2.. that means 2 agreed. If any agreed its likely a different court with a different mix of liberals/conservative might rule a different way.

I don’t think there could possibly be stronger proof that the claim is true, than that the PA Supreme Court says it’s not true.

I guess they must have missed the actual videos and picture evidence that clearly show otherwise.
