Pennsylvania Court Sides With Trump Campaign
A Pennsylvania court sides with Trump lawyers, ordering the disqualification of ballots that lacked proper voter identification by November 9. This issue is one of several legal challenges submitted by the Trump campaign in the state.
RELATED: Pennsylvania Emerges as Election Fraud Epicenter
On November 4, the day after Election Day, the Trump campaign sued the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The suit asked the courts to adhere to the original deadline for voters. If voters cannot verify their identification by November 9, their ballots will not count.
What happened
Pennsylvania state law gives voters six days after the election to submit proof of identification. Prior to election day, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled allowed acceptance of mail-in ballots three days after Election Day. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar mistakenly interpreted the Supreme Court rule to extend the proof of identification rule by three days. Then, she submitted guidance that says voters can send proofs until November 12. Boockvar issued the guidance two days before the elections.
President Donald Trump’s election lawyers argued that there was no basis in the state’s law to extend the identification deadline. At the same time, they said Boockvar does not have the authority to unilaterally change the deadline.
The verdict
Upon submission of the suit, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ordered the segregation of any ballots fixed during the extended deadline. They will await the outcome of the case before election officials will take any further action.
The ruling, released Thursday, favored the Trump campaign. “[T]he Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline … for certain electors to verify proof of identification,” Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt said in a court order.
Will it change the count?
As the court ordered the separation of the ballots in question, the vote count did not include them during the canvassing. Ultimately, this will not affect Biden’s lead in Pennsylvania. It remains unclear how many ballots will constitute the freeze order.
Officials say the total is small. For example, Philadelphia county, which is the largest in the state, only counts 2,100 ballots with identification problems. As of Thursday, Biden leads trump by 53,580 votes.
Rule of Law
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said it’s a “huge victory” for election integrity. In a statement, she called the state’s three-day extension for providing ID “a cut and dry brazen power grab by a Democrat official trying to tip the scales in Joe Biden’s favor.”
In summary, the ruling cannot and will not overturn the count. Nonetheless, this ruling presents an important landmark. This reminds local officials that they cannot change rules and laws arbitrarily especially if it’s convenient for them. Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt’s order assured Philadelphia votes that the rule of law stays and does not need unnecessary interpretations. Therefore, even if this ruling doesn’t change the outcome but preserves the integrity of elections, it’s a victory for the people.

I agree wholeheartedly!!! Is that why you won’t accept my ‘yes’ vote??? Who are you to censor me and my vote?? Have you ever heard of and/or read the 1st Amendment to our Constitution??
Keep on fighting Don’t give up. We want Trump President!
This corruption HAS TO STOP….AND Mary Hannah Leavitts needs to be held accountable and pay back to the people the amount of money it will take to make things right….obviously incompetent. WE THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE POLITICAL, NEWS MEDIA,SOCIAL MEDIA, DESTROYING OUR TRUST, WITH NON FACTUAL, PROPAGANDA, LIES. ALL SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE. A NORMAL CITIZEN WOULD BE PROSECUTED WHY ARENT THEY. I BELIEVE IN THE 1st AMENDMENT BUT THESE PEOPLE HAVE COMPROMISED THAT RIGHT….THE FIRST WORDS OF THE CONSTITUTION SAYS…..WE THE PEOPLE…..BREAKING ANY CONSTITUTIONAL RULES SHOULD RESULT IN PROSECUTION….THE REST OF US ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
Fact in modern history in the last 100 years in all of voting in the United States it has been proven time and time again that when it comes to voter fraud 92% revolve around Democrats why is that!!? We need to have term limits! Also we need to have term limits in federal jobs workers that have been involved in government for too long they become bureaucrats!the federal worker is in a director’s position he needs to be removed within ten years! Just a thought
It’s never a waste to let the process play out. We can live with the results if we can verify it was a fair and legal process. Let us go through the necessary steps as is legal. This is not selfish nor is it for an audience of one. We the people deserve to know…
I think the corruption in our voting process and the small amount of wrong doing discovered in the vote counting can be compared to an iceberg and the fraud brought out for the sheeple to view is the 10% of the iceberg visible from above. The voting system is and has been corrupted for a very long time. Voting serves the elites in their quest for total control of the masses it makes the sheeple feel empowered while at the same time keeping us all divided as a country and as a community. They have put us all into a life of debt slavery , which by design, we will never be able to pay back! My heart aches for humanity in our present time, knowing the elites have the money, ability, and power to clothe, feed, and house every living person on this planet and yet they won’t. I prey fo the All, the alpha/omega to have mercy on our soul’s !
David,I totally agree with you. Mary Hannah Leavitts needs to be held accountable for what she did. Anyone else would have, and she is no different.I say make her pay her pay back out of her own pocket what had to be paid for all that extra work, because of her mess up. Why should us tax payers have to. If that’s the case, then I want her to pay all my Bill’s, so I don’t have to.
NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE ALLOWED TO VOTE WITHOUT PROPER IDENTIFICATION AT THE TIME THEIR VOTE IS CAST !
NO ONE !!!
We as registered American voters must never leave our nations voting or any other problem to foreigners..
We must never change the election process that was set up by our predecessors this is a good process we had, it stopped this fraudulent mess that we have now..

I voted yes and like another here you will not register my vote . Or perhaps that is how you want it ? Classic how to rig a vote
They are in such a hurry to have Biden take over. Even if it turns out he won, they cannot change the date. Will Have to wait till Jan2021. What is their hurry? Can’t wait to start plagiarizing everything Trump said & accomplished? Sorry…..have to wait.
My Current Status: Very Proudly, Standing By, Commander In Chief, President Donald J Trump
Trump has a very bad issue excepting that he has lost the selection everybody had to show ID when they turn in a ballot in every state or even if they drop it off in person, Will you mail it in they verify your signature so no one has cheated on the election Trump is just a sore loser and he needs to concede he needs to grow up and face that he has lost the selection now Biden won the selection fair and square he is now at 46 president of the United States of America, when Trump cheated four years ago Hillary did not make a scandal and said she wanted all the votes recounted she conceded and Trump became president she was a better person than Trump why can’t Trump face it like A man and just concede to a better person and stop throwing a tantrum like a little kid people have spoken they picked Biden over Trump … and anyways it’s already in the news that he wants to run for 2024 Again and I laughed if the outcome is just same as now if he does take a chance and 2024 to run again for president against whoever is running in the Democrat 2024 race but as of right now he needs to be a man and concede to Biden as the winner for the 2020 race and Biden is our new president!
Might not change the outcome for President but score one for the voters Trump 20204 Ya
Even though the results are going to be the same i believe all legal votes should be tabulated. Furthermore, i believe that anyone trying to rig or influence our voting process by fraudulent behavior and or tactics should be executed. No more gerrymandering, unfair shenanigans with our postal mail system, unfair advantages at polling places, etc., should be met with deadly force no matter what party affiliation an individual may be a part of or if they have no party affiliation at all. Foreign interference should also be met with deadly force. I would like to see the Electoral College abolished as well as abolishing the lobbying in politics. Enough of these retched schemes! “We The People” deserve better! ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊✊🏽🇺🇲
This is getting out of hand old crybaby trump needs to be a man and concede.this is a waste of taxpayer money.The election should be decided by the popular vote not this electoral college BS.The gerrymandering by Republicans would stop,so would the bitching by Democrats on the mattter.So in conclusion donald trump lost popular vote also so it’s time for him to be a man just like all the presidents before him did and congratulate him,because we know you will run again in 2024 and get the nomination.
We stand with our great President Donald Trump. So glad the ballots were stopped. Now the next hurdle to get the votes back they stole in the ballot machines from Dominion.
Every need to pray for our President and the United States of America.
We have to stop this Socialisium take over.
Th we way we vote needs to change. The dead need to Stop voting. Harvesting ballots need t I stop. One last thing Gavin Newsoms nephew Needs to Go. He is the most hated Govenor California has ever had and we’ve had some Bad govenors.
Debbie, concede to cheating? No thanks, let’s have an honest election. After all, it’s your party that’s been crying for four years about a fraudulent election and russia collusion, and an illegitimate President. How about be a man, and for a party as a whole, have some class and don’t cheat.
Yes I am here for you! But no I’m embarrassed by this game! There is time enough to make sure the laws are clear. This will cost us all a lot of money, and right now there are a lot of people that are hurt and hungry to be playing this game. It’s time to come together and show both sides that Mr Trump is a big man an gain some respect from both sides so that in the next run he will have the respect and many more votes.
Only the legal vote, which is the voice of the people matters and should be adhered to..
Are we not a nation of and by the people?
This is a nation for the people. We must respect her rules.
I pray reverently and fervently for our nation and its great constitution to be upheld and revered. May God continue to bless America..
This is voter meddling in it’s pure form. Keep the pedal to the medal. Geter done.DJN

Suggestion for future elections. Arrive at polling places, have picture ID verified. Check name on voter rolls, verify signature. Fill out ballotobservers watching, process ballot. Go home that vote will be fair and un modified.
The “voice of the people”. Sometimes that is called “uprising” or “coup”. In this case it’s “Dump Trump”‘
