Pennsylvania Supreme Court extends mail-in ballot deadlines to three days after Election Day

LINK

Pennsylvania’s highest court on Thursday handed victories to the Democratic Party in an election-related lawsuit that sought favorable fixes to glitches and gray areas in the battleground state’s fledgling mail-in voting law.

The state Supreme Court, which has a 5-2 Democratic majority, granted the Democratic Party’s request to order an extension of Pennsylvania’s Election Day-deadline to count mailed-in ballots for three days after Election Day.

It also authorized the use of satellite election offices and drop boxes — which Philadelphia and its heavily populated suburbs are planning to use help relieve the pressure from an avalanche of mailed-in ballots expected in the Nov. 3 presidential election.

The court’s ruling comes as Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, and the Republican-controlled Legislature are at a stalemate over some of the issues, less than seven weeks before the election.

How do we not let them?

They own the fricking courts and enforcement at the local level.

They are going to cheat and there is nothing we can do about it.

It reads like they have a few days after election to count them, which is customary, as long as they are received by election day.

Am I reading that wrong?

every fraudulent vote disenfranchises a legitimate voter

What we are really dealing with is disenfranchisement on a mass scale.

What is democratic about that?

Easy. We don’t count their Electoral Votes if they are proven to be fraudulent.

If that is the case, counting and results should not be completed until those 3 days are up. I am fine with them doing that, as long they make it fair.

It will not be fair if they release "X" candidate has a 10,000 vote lead after election day and then 10,001 ballots come in for candidate "Y"

NO COUNTING UNTIL THE CLOCK IS UP!!!

Doesn't seem customary if a court is granting an extension.

You're reading it right, what you're not doing is thinking critically. (Or being purposely obtuse)

Does this mean you can mail them after the election? Can be postmarked after Nov. 3? Postmarked before the 3rd but can be counted if received after?

Article is vague

Getting results on election night means that you would have to win an honest election. Mail-in voting on a mass scale is the best means they have to rig the election and they will.

I mean obviously you can't put out results until the polling is officially closed but you know that would leak out for sure if Biden were trailing and the exact number of votes they need to get out

Thus why I said "no counting"

You basically extend the voting the 3 days and then count.

Here is a link to how the votes are counted though

Well the Dems need to know how many fake votes they need. How would they know this on election day?
