Pennsylvania court strikes down state’s mail voting law as unconstitutional

TheHill: A Pennsylvania court on Friday ruled the state’s mail-in voting law is unconstitutional, with the case likely heading to the state’s Supreme Court.

The 2019 law allows any voter to vote by mail without providing a reason and contains a number of other provisions aimed at making it easier to cast a ballot. Republicans are arguing it violates an amendment to the state constitution.

Commonwealth Court Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt agreed with that argument, writing the law violates the 1838 amendment that says a person must vote in-person on Election Day unless they meet certain criteria. She wrote the law can only be changed through another constitutional amendment.  MORE

  1. Same BS here in NY one judge killed the mandates, and 10 hrs later another judge/court said no, they where okay. Judge and court shopping should be illegal. Strange how people can’t read the same law in the same way.
