During the 2020 election cycle in Pennsylvania, there were numerous legal challenges and claims alleging illegal changes to election rules. While these claims were widely publicized, courts consistently rejected them, upholding the legality and integrity of the election process.
Here’s a closer look at the key arguments and their outcomes:
Act 77 and no-excuse mail-in voting: This law, passed in 2019, allowed all eligible voters to vote by mail without needing an excuse.
Challenges: Opponents argued Act 77 was unconstitutional, infringing on the state constitution’s restrictions on absentee voting.
Outcome: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ultimately upheld the constitutionality of Act 77, emphasizing the legislature’s authority to expand voter access.
Guidance issued by the Department of State: The Department of State, which oversees Pennsylvania elections, issued guidance and directives throughout the election cycle to clarify procedures and implement state laws.
Challenges: Some criticized these directives as attempts to circumvent the legislature or unilaterally change election rules.
Outcome: Courts found no merit in these arguments, concluding that the Department of State’s actions were within their authority to clarify and implement election procedures.
Lawsuits seeking to overturn results: Following the 2020 election, several lawsuits were filed seeking to invalidate ballots or overturn the election results in Pennsylvania.
Challenges: These lawsuits, often repeating unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud, alleged that changes to election rules had tainted the outcome.
Outcome: These lawsuits were dismissed by various courts at both state and federal levels, including the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Yesh, I do. You meant nobody proved that there was cheating. But that’s the point of my statement … the rules made it easier to cheat and to get away with it. The fact is, nobody but the cheaters know for sure.
Right!!! Documented evidence means nothing. Just remember this. All high profile democrats are perfect angels. Incapable of corruption at any level. Perfect Saints. You believe it so everyone should. Just ask this guy.
