A court in Pennsylvania court has struck down a key law allowing for mail-in-voting throughout the state.

As Just the News reports:

The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania on Friday found the state’s mail-in voting law unconstitutional.

The lawsuit was filed by Doug McLinko, vice chairman of the Bradford County Board of Commissioners in Pennsylvania. His argument was that he was unable to perform his duties as commissioner and certify the 2020 election because Pennsylvania’s 2019 election reform law is unconstitutional.

McLinko describes the Trump-Biden election after this law as a “mess” and told Just the News, “Our votes were just thrown away.”

In October 2019, Act 77 was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf with support from both parties. The law, described by PennLive “as the most significant change to Pennsylvania’s election laws in more than 80 years,” greatly expands mail-in voting by allowing a citizen to vote by mail without an excuse. It also allocated $90 million to buy new voting machines and ended straight party voting, forcing Pennsylvanians to actively vote for each candidate on the ballot, rather than make one mark to vote for all candidates of a specified party.

While the ruling is likely to be challenged and may ultimately make its way to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, if it is upheld it would likely negatively effect Democratic get out the vote efforts in the state going forward.

  1. So the Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional when the 2020 election happened which means Biden didn’t win that state most likely which of course means to Democrats that Pennsylvania is full of white supremacists and should be nuked, is that a correct reading of the situation from all sides?

  2. LISTEN UP….The Only VOTE that Should be COUNTED is a LEGAL VOTE. EVERYTHING Else is VOTER FRAUD. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄😇😇😇

  3. This is why Democraps are pushing another Lock down. They want to get mail-in ballots made legal. They know without it they will LOSE it all. They know if they CAN’T CHEAT they will lose their power and lose it for decades. This along with what was done by Wisconsin May go a long way to correcting the FARCE Democraps call the Election of 2020.

  4. Our vote should be simple and protected. Voting is a right, not guaranteed by federal or state to provide transportation or path to transport anyone to the polls rights carry responsibility. it must be your effort to vote. When things become too easy they are not valued. When we are unable to get to the polling station allowances for the incapacitated are understood and ballots sent. Just because it is inconvenient isn’t a reason to send out a ballot that will be abused—Grampa
