Pennsylvania Court: Mail-In Voting Law Is Unconstitutional
A Lower Court of Pennsylvania, Republican leaning 3 to 2 on Friday declared that Pennsylvania's expansive two-year-old universal mail-in ballot law is unconstitutional, agreeing with the Republican challengers.
The decision, by a five-judge Commonwealth Court panel of three Republicans and two Democrats, would not be put in action by Governor Tom Wolf's administration because this intends to file an appeal to the state Supreme Court.
"The Administration will immediately appeal this decision to the state Supreme Court and today’s lower court ruling will have no immediate effect on mail-in voting pending a final decision on the appeal," Wolf's office said in a statement.
....and unfortunately the State Supreme Court is democrat leaning 5 to 2. But in itself it's good news the same.
