Here is the actual ruling if you guys are interested in reading it. LINK

Long story short regarding this particular portion of the ruling is that during an emergency laws mean nothing and politicians can do whatever they want.

quote:

The Secretary emphasizes that the remedy sought here is not the invalidation of the Election Code’s received-by deadline, but rather the grant of equitable relief to extend temporarily the deadline to address “mail-delivery delays during an on-going public health disaster.” Secretary’s Brief at 18. As no party is seeking the invalidation of the received by deadline, the Secretary rejects the suggestion of Respondent and the Caucus that the remedy would trigger the nonseverability provision of Act 77 reasoning that the Court would be granting “a temporary short extension to address the exigencies of a natural disaster” rather than “the invalidation of a statutory deadline.” She emphasizes that the statutory deadline would remain unchanged for future elections


How is completely disregarding the law which as written says the ballot has to be received by 8pm on the primary or election day not invalidating the election code's received-by-date deadline? Clown world.
