The PA Supreme Court unconstitutionally changing this law may have been the best thing to happen to us. The law says that any violation of the law itself nullifies the law, and its the law that allows mail in ballots to begin with.

The actual law has provisions that says if the law is violated, the law is nullified.

I may be confusing it with Michigan's. I am looking for the law blog that did a run down on it, but I've read and watched so much, it sorta blurs together.

How the hell can any law state that?

You can't rob, but if you do, this law doesn't exist anymore.

Because the law itself enables mail in voting to begin with and has a provision that only the legislature can change the rules under which mail in ballots are valid. If it is changed by anyone other than the legislature such as the local county office, the law enabling mail in ballots becomes invalid. As for an example, provision A enables mail in ballots, and provision C nullifies provision A if certain things happen.

The law dictates all valid mail in ballots must be in the county office by 8PM on election night. This was summarily changed by the PA Supreme Court, violating the law.

But we can't distinguish the ballots that were received by election day!

I'm afraid
