Pennsylvania Republicans have returned to the Supreme Court in another Effort to Roll Back the State’s Mail-in-Ballot Extension, filing their Second such Attempt just ahead of the Confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and Days after the Court Deadlocked on the Issue.
The Pennsylvania GOP asked the Justices to Fast-Track a Formal Review of a Major Ruling by the State Supreme Court, which held that Mailed Ballots sent by Election Day and received Up-to Three Days later, Nov. 6th, Must be Counted.
Unlike the First Request that led to the Deadlock, the New Bid asks the Justices to Address the Merits of the Dispute rather than simply Halting the State Court Ruling to Allow it. Should the State Supreme Court Change the State Legislation or Constitution?
While only Four Justices are needed to Grant an Appeal under Normal Circumstances, Five Justices must Sign-Off on a Request for Expedited Review.
But Barrett decided Not to take Part in the Decision.
The Vote was 5-3 to Deny the Request.
The Supreme Court can sill take the Case after Nov. 3rd.
