The Pennsylvania Supreme Court said Tuesday that it will hear a lawsuit brought by Democrats seeking to head-off a dispute Republicans have raised about the use of dropboxes for mail ballots and other aspects of how absentee voting works in the state.
The latest case was brought by the state Democratic Party after Republicans, with the Trump campaign, sued in federal court to stop election officials from using dropboxes and to also narrow the rules around absentee voting.
So federal court is suppose to supersede state court? Like don’t states have the right to determine this stuff? I mean it’s not like PA is trying to suppress the certain voters, to restrict who has access to the voting booth, or anything like that.
Open-carry for self-defense?

Our problem in PA is Gov Wolf has a brain.
Our Repub dominated Congress don’t.
Just wait till the couple days right before the election when USPS’s postage machines start post-dating all mail as November 4, 2020…
“The federal GOP lawsuit hit a road block last month when the judge, a President Trump appointee, said he was going to wait for the state court to address the related cases it had before it.”
i.e., “Why don’t we just wait until the state courts rule so we know which ones I need to change to favor the GOP and Trump?”
Le’s just put it this way: if you think it’s just undereducated white rednecks sporting Confederate Flag tattoos and pseudo-militia merit badges on their Walmart fatigues who think the civil war is “on”…that it somehow excludes highly educated white men who have insinuated their way into the robes and/or halls of power and are willing to break or change whatever rules, laws, etc., need to bee broken or changed to win the now “on” civil war…then you’re mistaken. It is, in fact, the latter who have been doing the most to continue waging it since 1865.
Oh I get that the suits are part of this. I just thought it odd that Trump’s maladministration sued in federal court.
“Many people have a brain, what they don’t have is a cer-tif-i-caate!”
And can we all agree that Republicans should be certified?
Trump claims to have had no plans to meet with the Blake family. In fact they refused an opportunity to be stage props for a photo op. He had not reached out to them prior to planning to go to Kenosha, he had never said their son’s name and was siding with the aggressors. – why wouldn’t they want a lawyer if he was going to talk to them?
Likely, he intended to pull one of his why don’t you forgive the offender stunts.
OBJECTION… assumes facts not in evidence. IF they are GOP Selected or Elected, they are not highly educated, they are highly indoctrinated.
The fact that Repubs went to Federal court to litigate a state matter (as defined by the constitution) shows how desperate they are. As far as I can tell, all dropboxes were monitored by county election employees, even the mobile van in Philly.
It is heating up in PA (hell, it is always hot and humid here) but I have confidence in the new PA Supreme Court that fairness, logic, and the law will prevail (they did temporarily throw out the Repub gerrymander)
