The PA Supreme Court UnConstitionally extended the statutory deadline for receipt of absentee ballots. So any ballots received after the statutory deadline of election day did not have to be counted.
All voters were operating under the same rules on election day. You cannot retroactively disenfranchise votes cast in good faith because you don't like the results.
How convenient for you. Why don't you read the article?
If anything, it would have been the PASC that disenfranchised these voters with their illegal act. The statute is/was crystal clear,
You can change going forward. You cannot change going back in time votes that were cast in good faith that were done by the rules set forth by the government,
Change what? The statute was crystal clear. The DEmocrats on the PASC UnCOnstitutionally made up a new rule right before the election to help Democrats.
All voters were operating under the same rules. The rules did not discriminate.
Quite unfortunate, IMHO. The lesson being taught to capture a partisan majority on your state Supreme Court and the you can change the statutory rules right before an election to favor your party.
See above
Solid decision, IMHO. Again the state Constitution is clear.That Act (ACT 77) was implemented in 2019 with bi-partisan support and was looked to be changed AFTER Trump lost PA. It was too late to go back and change it....they could have (and I think are) trying to "kill" ACT 77 now
Pennsylvania court strikes down state’s mail-in voting law
After Joe Biden won the 2020 US election, Republicans challenged a new state law that had made mail-in voting easier.www.aljazeera.com
"Act 77 of the Pennsylvania election code was passed in 2019 as the result of a compromise between Republican and Democratic state legislators. Republicans were seeking to end straight-ticket voting, which had allowed voters to select one political party’s slate of candidates, and Democrats wanted to open voting-by-mail to everyone.
Act 77 was implemented in 2019 with Republican support. But Republicans changed their views on the law after Trump lost the state, with many of them embracing the former president’s false claims that widespread fraud tied to mail-in ballots was behind his defeat."
That we should throw out votes cast by American citizens? Yes, I understand the argument. It's monstrous, as is anyone defending it.
You can believe what you want.
Whether or not you like it or even recognize it, he made a solid legal argument to the legislature that under PA law that those ballots received after the statutory deadline should not be counted. He didn't simply argue 'Throw out enough ballots for Trump to win.'
Ok you people have been Gaslit for too long !!!!From where I sit, the mounting evidence against John Eastman continues to grow that further supports the T-Right's effort to overthrow the election result. In this recent trove of emails, Eastman recruits PA State Rep Russ Diamond to be a major part of his plan. May justice do what it's supposed to do and bring these guys down.
Before he urged Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally hand the 2020 election to Donald Trump, right-wing lawyer John Eastman, who represented Trump after the election, floated a somewhat subtler, but no less extreme plan to undermine Joe Biden’s victory: Throw out absentee ballots, recount the votes, and use the new totals to “provide some cover” for Republican legislatures to appoint their own electors. “Having done that math,” Eastman wrote in a December 2020 email to a Pennsylvania state lawmaker, “you’d be left with a significant Trump lead that would bolster the argument for the Legislature adopting a slate of Trump electors.”
Trump Lawyer John Eastman Literally Told A Lawmaker To Toss Absentee Votes, Unseat Biden Electors
Newly revealed emails show the inner-workings of Eastman's extreme plan to overturn 2020 election results in Pennsylvania.www.vanityfair.com
The Pennsylvania plan, which Eastman proposed from his email account at University of Colorado, where he was a visiting professor, provides yet another glimpse into the Trump team’s relentless efforts to subvert democracy in 2020. It was part of a trove of emails obtained by the Colorado Ethics Institute and sent in April to the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack, which has been fighting in court to obtain more than 3,000 documents from Eastman related to the probe. The Denver Post first reported on his proposal to recalibrate the Pennsylvania popular vote.
In the December 4 guidance to Republican State Representative Russ Diamond, one of 26 pro-Trump radicals in the Pennsylvania legislature who had already pushed for the state’s results to be decertified, Eastman suggested GOP lawmakers “adopt a resolution that has the Legislature simply affirming what appears to have been the result of the popular vote untainted by the illegal votes.” Adjusting the total without those so-called “illegal votes” — absentee ballots, those with supposed “signature verification violations,” and “perhaps the banning of observers” — could give “cover” to Pennsylvania Republicans seeking to appoint new electors, Eastman said.
He didn’t make a solid legal argument.
Thank you !!!!
Trump’s activities in Georgia Are currently under investigation there.
