Mark Elias: 🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First

[benfranklin1776]

33. Precisely right! It serves NO valid purpose as courts have repeatedly recognized.

The timeliness of receipt of the ballot is verified by the state SURE system using bar coding on the ballot return envelopes, and you don’t get a ballot through the mail unless you are a validly registered voter and go through the process of requesting one from your bureau of elections. So these outer envelope dating requirements are, in my view, nothing but a poison pill deliberately designed and added by the R’s when they controlled the legislature at the time the vote by mail package of legislation first passed (only because we the people demanded it and our Democratic Governor Wolf strongly supported it) for the purpose of creating a hidden vote nullifying trap in order to give them the chance to toss valid ballots and disenfranchise people, which is the only thing they are experts at doing. 🤬 So a hearty Thank You Mark Elias for driving a hard legal stake into that vote suppressing vampire tactic 👏🏼👏🏼✊🏼
