Pennsylvania State Judge Upholds Halt To Certification, Finds Likelihood Mail-In Balloting Procedures Violate PA Constitution

Upholds injunction issued earlier in the week, finds “Petitioners appear to have a viable claim that the mail-in ballot procedures set forth in Act 77 contravene Pa. Const. Article VII Section 14”

A Pennsylvania state court Judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing Pennsylvania from taking any further steps to perfect its certification of the election, including but not limited to appointment of electors and transmission of necessary paperwork to the Electoral College, pending further court hearings and rulings. The ruling upholds an injunction from earlier in the week, and is significant because of the findings made in the Opinion released tonight.

Oh snap!

According to Petitioners, the legislature did not follow the necessary procedures for amending the Constitution before enacting Act 77 which created a new category of mail-in voting; therefore, the mail-in ballot scheme under Act 77 is unconstitutional on its face and must be struck down. Id., ¶¶27, 35-37. As relief, Petitioners seek, inter alia, a declaration and/or injunction that prohibits Respondents from certifying the November 2020 General Election results, which include mail-in ballots that are permitted on a statewide basis and are allegedly improper because Act 77 is unconstitutional.

Don't cock tease Trump supporters, it's cruel.

The votes would have to be declared INVALID, that is just not gonna happen.

WRONG AGAIN!

Try getting your news from an actual news source for a change. The appeals court threw out the case on Friday in a 21-page ruling:

"Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

"Nor does the Campaign deserve an injunction to undo Pennsylvania’s certification of its votes. The Campaign’s claims have no merit. The number of ballots it specifically challenges is far smaller than the roughly 81,000-vote margin of victory. And it never claims fraud or that any votes were cast by illegal voters. Plus, tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too. That remedy would be grossly disproportionate to the procedural challenges raised. So we deny the motion for an injunction pending appeal."

"And the Campaign’s charges are selective. Though Pennsylvanians cast 2.6 million mail-in ballots, the Campaign challenges 1.5 million of them. It cherry-picks votes cast in “Democratic-heavy counties” but not “those in Republican-heavy counties.” Second Am.Compl. ¶ 8. Without compelling evidence of massive fraud, no t even alleged here, we can hardly grant such lopsided relief. "

Asking these guys to stop citing fake news would be like asking a fish to stop taking the bait.

I'm going to be castigated most likely for citing the NYT, but I really don't care:

“Voters, not lawyers, choose the president,” the court declared at one point. “Ballots, not briefs, decide elections.”

They don't understand that a random blog isn't a news source. Ditto Twitter, Facebook, and youtube.

I highly doubt Tim Pool reports fake news. Besides Youtube would demonetize his videos if he was.

Reporting on fake news doesn't get you demonitized on Youtube. Creating the fake news does. Tim Pool is free to talk about anything he wants and give his opinion on it.

The reality is any candidate has a chance to reverse an election up until December 14 when the electors vote. It's just that every candidate who runs has enough respect for the voters to not create that constitutional crisis.

Trump is being cheered on by grifters like Tim Pool because Pool doesn't give a shit about the voters. He's only in it to appease Trump's supporters in exchange for money. Trump is also just in it for the money, so we don't know how far he's actually going to try to bend the constitution here. Some like Tim Pool say he'll go all the way and try everything, others say he's just pretending. We can't really know until we get there. But all signs point to Trump realizing he can't win, which is why he kinda sorta conceded a week ago.

If you had any basic common sense then you'd realize he's the only one on the internet with that story which should be a dead giveaway that it's BS considering its importance.

No court is going to toss millions of ballots because you sore losers can't accept defeat.

You need to ask yourself if you can handle the truth. If so, I suggest you read ducksoup's link. I also linked to the judge's 21-page decision.

I'd love to see them explain the 100%+ voter turnouts in Michigan.

Remember:

Youtubers they agree with are "Independent Journalists", and youtubers they disagree with are "Grifters".

"Pennsylvania Supreme Court Tosses GOP Congressman’s Suit Seeking To Throw Out All Ballots Cast By Mail"

"In a unanimous decision, the justices declared that U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R., Butler) and the seven Republican plaintiffs in the suit had waited too long to bring their lawsuit alleging that the 2019 law, passed by the state’s GOP-controlled legislature, which created no-excuse mail voting in the state for the first time was unconstitutional and 'illegally implemented.'

"Instead of filing it shortly after the passage of the bill, which was required in the statute, they waited until their candidate lost to challenge the mechanism by which some 2.6 million Pennsylvanians voted this year, the court wrote in a terse, three-page order.

"The suit had led to an earlier order from a lower appellate court judge who temporarily barred the state Wednesday from any further steps to certify the results of the 2020 election pending a hearing.

"But her order and the proceedings were quickly scuttled within hours after state elections administrators appealed Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough’s decision to the Supreme Court."

"As we covered yesterday, a state court judge in Pennsylvania upheld her prior halt to certification of the vote, finding a likelihood that the mail-in ballot procedure violated the state constitution.

"I predicted the injunction would not survive the PA Supreme Court, and it hasn’t. The PA Supreme Court just issued an Order dismissing the case, and vacating the halt to certification, finding the petitioners waited too long"
