This is explained simply enough for even a dullard to understand... and thats coming from a dullard.

Now let's suffer thru whatever tortuous mental gymnastics some lefty judge can pull out of their ass as to why it just does not apply here.

Us subjects are getting used to it. Remember when we were citizens?

That's what Mike Kelly's lawsuit is about. You should read it. It's solid. There is no way the PASC should have dismissed it. All of the PA Justices that shot down Kelly's challenge need to be removed from the bench and investigate for conspiracy to commit election fraud.

Good point, but, is the SCOTUS going to step in and force PA to throw out their own results?

What if PA did not abide by the ruling of the SCOTUS (lets assume its against PA)?

Are there any "emergency" powers that have been passed legally through their State Constitution that could have allowed for mail in ballots?

This will be a rebuke of the votes and mail in votes, and also a rebuke of the national and international narrative about the dangers of COVID to potentially pull it off if my 3rd question supports "emergency powers" stuff. I say this as a NY'er who had "emergency powers" used to take away our 2A protections in the state.

Not trolling, just questions running through my mind. Feel free to reply if you're in the know. (Non-PA resident, therefore, looking for some good info from the ground)

Unfortunately the retards in PA passed ACT 77 that;

  • No excuse mail-in voting The law creates a new option to vote by mail without providing an excuse, which is currently required for voters using absentee ballots. Pennsylvania joins 31 other states and Washington, D.C. with mail-in voting that removes barriers to elections.

  • 50-day mail-in voting period All voters can request and submit their mail-in or absentee ballot up to 50 days before the election, which is the longest vote-by-mail period in the country.

  • Permanent mail-in and absentee ballot list Voters can request to receive applications for mail-in or absentee ballots for all primary, general and special elections held in a given year. Counties will mail applications to voters on the list by the first Monday of each February. Voters who return an application will receive ballots for each election scheduled through the next February. Pennsylvania is the 12th state to provide voters with the automatic option.

  • 15 more days to register to vote The deadline to register to vote is extended to 15 days from 30 days before an election. Cutting the current deadline by half enables more people to participate in elections. The new more flexible and voter friendly deadlines provide more time to register to vote than 24 other states.

  • Extends mail-in and absentee submission deadlines Voters can submit mail-in and absentee ballots until 8:00 p.m. on election day. The current deadline is 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before an election, which is the most restrictive in the country. Pennsylvanians submitted 195,378 absentee ballots in 2018, but 8,162 – more than four percent – missed the deadline and were rejected. The national average is only two percent.

While true of this law, a constitution supercedes a law by several orders of magnitude. In order to allow ballots such as this requires an amendment to the constitution not just a law passed.

requires an amendment to the [PA state] constitution

Absolutely agree, I believe several suits brought in PA argued that point and should have been heard on those grounds alone. I really hope SCOTUS will roll all these controversies up into one case

Yes in this case the state constitution. But in general, a constitution supercedes a law. Always has.
