The state court found a conflict between the state constitution and the legislation. To be fair, there is a legitimate dispute over that issue. My view is that the state court’s interpretation of its own constitution should control, but the USSC may disagree. Regardless, we are talking about a few late received ballots, not an amount that will change anything. We don’t even know that the late received ballots are even included in the current count.The state court followed the law and constitution as written by the legislature. If Pennsylvania Republicans are upset about it they should change the law and constitution.
It’s not just your view, SCOTUS rarely intervenes in state court interpretations of state constitutions.My view is that the state court’s interpretation of its own constitution should control, but the USSC may disagree.
Then you should have no objection whatsoever to letting this dispute play out nor should you object to the USSC making a determination one way or the other.It’s not just your view, SCOTUS rarely intervenes in state court interpretations of state constitutions.
Exactly! 10Oh you mean like the Dems and their phony Russian hoax and baseless impeachment.? Talk about a waste of time and taxpayer money!
The Republican National Committee and Trump campaign on Saturday announced a new lawsuit filed in Arizona over allegations that Maricopa County “incorrectly rejected votes cast by in-person voters on Election Day.”
According to the lawsuit, the tabulation machine alerted voters to “facial irregularities in their ballot” and specifically mentions “ink ‘bleeds,’ splotches, stray marks” as the cause for ballots to be considered “spoiled.”
Instead of allowing voters to correct the issue, poll workers allegedly pressed voters to click a green button to override the vote. The override allegedly disregarded the person’s selections.
“Poll workers struggled to operate the new voting machines in Maricopa County, and improperly pressed and told voters to press a green button to override significant errors,” Matt Morgan, Trump 2020 campaign general counsel, said in a statement. “The result is that the voting machines disregarded votes cast by voters in person on Election Day in Maricopa County.”
The Trump campaign said they have collected declarations from voters who witnessed the problem and believe this was a widespread, large scale issue throughout Maricopa County, the state’s largest county.
Both the RNC and the Trump campaign are asking for a review of the overvotes, which they say could be critical in the outcome of the presidential election.
“Arizona law requires that putative overvotes be subjected to further review in an effort to discern the actual intent of the voter,” the lawsuit stated. “While this safeguard was afforded to putative overvotes cast on early ballots and on Election Day ballots that poll workers properly segregated in a separate repository, potentially thousands of voters across Maricopa County have been disenfranchised by systematic improper tabulator overrides.”
Whether or not this was a glitch should be investigated, especially when it comes down to swing states. Areas in which this system was used should have a hand recount so voters know their votes were tabulated correctly. A glitch in one county is probable. A glitch in multiple counties in multiple states sounds like it could potentially be a bigger systemic problem.
True. It is a bit of an odd situation, though, given the potential conflict between the state and federal constitutions. Regardless, however academically interesting it may be, it won’t effect the outcome.It’s not just your view, SCOTUS rarely intervenes in state court interpretations of state constitutions.
According to the Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, several election irregularities in Pennsylvania require urgent attention and necessitate an audit of the state’s election results.
a. This unconstitutional decision occurred just weeks before the November 3rd election and created chaos and confusion across Pennsylvania.
- Partisan Democrats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unilaterally extended the deadline to receive late ballots and mandated that ballots without a postmark would be presumed to be timely.
b. Democrats on the court unilaterally bypassed the state legislature, which is vested authority over state elections by the U.S. Constitution.
a. Her last-minute decision goes against long-standing Pennsylvania law and ignores one of the most basic tools to fight election fraud.
- Pennsylvania’s Democrat Secretary of State, Kathy Boockvar, directed county officials to accept absentee and mail ballots even if the signatures on the ballot did not match.
b. Boockvar has repeatedly expressed her dislike for President Trump and her desire to remove him from office on social media.
a. However, not all counties were permitted to “cure” ballots prior to the election, raising equal protection concerns that voters from different counties were treated differently.
- Democrat election officials in largely populated Democrat-run counties allowed some voters to “cure” potential “defects” on their ballots.
a. Watching the vote count ensures transparency, fairness, and accuracy.
- Poll watchers across Pennsylvania were denied the opportunity to meaningfully observe the vote count.
b. Denying poll watchers access raises the suspicion that Democrat-run officials had something to hide.
a. It is extremely rare to issue provisional ballots on such a large scale.
- An unprecedented 100,500 provisional ballots were issued across the state of Pennsylvania.
b. Officials must be sure that provisional ballots were not issued to people who had already turned in their absentee or mail-in ballot.
On Friday, the Supreme Court ordered Pennsylvania election boards to separately count mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day.
Then you heard wrong.I think I heard PA. defied 2 US Supreme Court orders on this.
If you think they are automated,As I’m seeing similar warnings on election memes, I’m thinking these may be automated and not an indication of dislike.
Remember always what the mainstream media, social media GIANTS, and even some fellow-Americans did to you.Oh yeah. The stories if they were “meritless”, or “non-existent”,
would not be before the Supreme Court right now if they REALLY were “non-existent” and/or “meritless”. Hmmm.
WHY did the social media GIANTS and the mainstream “news” outlets, tell me by their actions these serious irregularities were “not happening” or were so “meritless” they deserved a “warning” (when the Supreme Court says there IS enough evidence to at least hear the case(s))??
There is no proof. Even Republicans agree. it’s just trump’s sycophants that do not agree.And yet, the mainstream media, NPR, etc., keeps saying that “there’s no proof.”
I double dog dare them to deal with it.I don’t think that paranoia about election fraud helps any of us.
Trump lost – deal with it.
Hold it! Wait a minute.I double dog dare them to deal with it.
