Democrat judges have now made it easier to commit mass voter fraud and steal elections.
As Bloomberg Law reported, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that Pennsylvania’s requirement that mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect dates be tossed violates the United States Constitution.
“Weighing the burden that practice imposes on Pennsylvanians’ constitutional right to vote against the State’s interest in the practice, the balance of the scales leads us to hold that it does not comply with our Constitution,” said Chief Judge D. Brooks Smith in an opinion for the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
“The date requirement seems to hamper rather than facilitate election efficiency,” he added. “By its nature, it fails to add solemnity to the process of voting,” Smith wrote. “And discarding thousands of ballots every election is not a reasonable trade-off in view of the date requirement’s extremely limited and unlikely capacity to detect and deter fraud.”
The decision was 3-0. The judges who issued this insane ruling were Patty Shwartz, appointed by Barack Obama; Arianna J. Freeman, appointed by Joe Biden; and D. Brooks Smith, appointed by President George W. Bush.
As far-left Democracy Docket notes, this lawsuit stems from one in 2022 challenging the state’s orders to county boards of elections not to count a mail-in ballot that was supposedly cast on time but missing a date, or containing the wrong date on the outer return envelopes.
Federal District Court Judge Susan Paradise Baxter, a President Trump appointee, ruled that the guidance was unconstitutional because it placed “constitutionally impermissible burdens on the right to vote.”
This decision will undoubtedly have grave consequences for local Pennsylvania offices and national elections. The Keystone State, after all, is one of seven >critical swing states that decide the Presidency.
Tuesday’s decision came after the court denied the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) request to stay the lower court’s decision until after the 2025 elections. This year, Pennsylvanians will vote in several critical judicial races, including the State Supreme Court, and special elections to fill vacant legislative seats.
In their motion seeking a stay, the RNC pointed out that the mistaken mail-in ballot margin has determined several key races.
The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported on how mail-in voting swings elections toward Democrats. This often happens in the dead of the night.
Trump has vowed to eliminate mail-in voting, saying “If you don’t have mail-in voting, you’re not going to have many Democrats get elected.”
