So I came across a Politico article via RealClearPolitics titled Pennsylvania Supreme Court extends state’s mail ballot deadline.
Ballots with a pre-election postmark MUST now be accepted up to three days after the election. But pre-election postmark does NOT mean what you think it means. Ballots that bear NO postmark are assumed to be pre-election postmarked, unless it can be proved otherwise … which of course is virtually impossible:
The court also wrote that ballots “received within this period that lack a postmark or other proof of mailing, or for which the postmark or other proof of mailing is illegible, will be presumed to have been mailed by Election Day unless a preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that it was mailed after Election Day.”
Needless to say, what is going to happen in Pennsylvania is that after the real votes are counted on Election Day, the Democrats will know exactly how many additional votes they will need to “FIND” to put Biden over the top … and find them they, OF COURSE, will.
Here is what Senator Pat Toomey had to say:
“Once again, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has decided that laws have no meaning. The current state election statute, which was signed by Governor Wolf less than a year ago, is clear that mail-in ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day in order to be counted.
“Today’s blatantly political decision to violate the law irresponsibly heightens the risk that our state will experience a lengthy, disputed, and controversial outcome in what is expected to be an extremely close presidential race.”
In other words, there is no legal grounds for the Pennsylvania court’s ruling, which invalidates an existing law and replaces it with a judge-written law.
The Democrats are pulling the same stunt in New Hampshire. As I posted a little over a month ago:
The next and last request (that I will discuss in this post) for “relief”, DC-Super-Lawyer and his henchman have requested is to require cities and towns to accept “post-election” ballots (the phrase is mine not theirs):
8) Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Defendant Gardner and his respective agents, officers, employees, and successors, and all persons acting in concert with each or any of them, from rejecting ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day and arrive at the clerk’s office within a reasonable period of time after Election Day, subject to the definition of “postmarked” noted herein;
The “definition of ‘postmarked’” stands postmarked on its head. There is no requirement that the ballot actually show that it was received by the Post Office before the election ended. Instead, it would have to be “proved” that the ballot was not mailed until after the election … which needless to say is IMPOSSIBLE:
The Democrats are NOT contesting an election. They are staging a coup.
