Pennsylvania Court Declaring PA Mail-in Voting Law Unconstitutional Makes Biden Electors Bogus and Trump’s Legitimate – Shouldn’t Thompson’s 6 January Committee Subpoena Biden’s Bogus PA Electors Too?

 

With the Pennsylvania Court declaring the state mail-in voting unconstitutional, maybe Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the select committee investigating the Capitol attack, needs to adjust his subpoena roster to include the entire slate of now “bogus” Biden electors that illegally cast their votes on 6 January. With this decision, it was the Biden electors that cast Bogus votes and the alternate Trump electors that should have been accepted as the legitimate Pennsylvania slate.

Pennsylvania court declares state’s mail-in voting law unconstitutional, in win for Republicans

January 28, 2022|Updated January 28, 2022 at 3:54 p.m. EST

A Pennsylvania court struck down the state’s expansive mail-in voting law as unconstitutional, delivering a temporary win to state Republicans who challenged the law after former president Donald Trump falsely claimed mail-in voting resulted in election fraud.

Most of the WaPo readers missed the basis for the Court decision. It had nothing to do with if mail-in balloting is good or if it’s secure. If you read Article VII of the PA Constitution it clearly lists the limited number of reasons a voter can cast an absentee ballot and does NOT allow just anyone to do it without a reason. When the Pennsylvania legislature changed the Constitution to allow anyone to cast an absentee ballot it voided all absentee ballots. The Pennsylvania Constitution Article XIV clearly states the ways it can be amended and a simple vote by the legislature is NOT one of them, hence the Court correctly ruled that the legislature violated the Constitution. With this ruling Trump would have won Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes.

When the entire Article VII is read, it is clear what the legislature can provide for are only the manner in which, and the time and place but NOT the reasons for why a voter can cast an absentee ballot. The ONLY reasons a voter can cast an absentee ballot are clearly delineated in the article.

Article VII - Absentee voting.

(a) The Legislature shall, by general law, provide a manner in which, and the time and place at which, qualified electors who may, on the occurrence of any election, be absent from the municipality of their residence, because their dutiesoccupation or business require them to be elsewhere or who, on the occurrence of any election, are unable to attend at their proper polling places because of illness or physical disability or who will not attend a polling place because of the observance of a religious holiday or who cannot vote because of election day duties, in the case of a county employee, may vote, and for the return and canvass of their votes in the election district in which they respectively reside.

Committee investigating Jan. 6 attack issues subpoenas to 14 bogus Trump electors in states Biden won

January 28, 2022

The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob has issued subpoenas to 14 individuals who cast bogus electoral votes for the former president in seven states won by Joe Biden in 2020.

The move comes as two Democratic attorneys general have asked federal prosecutors in recent days to investigate whether crimes were committed in assembling or submitting the “alternate” Trump slates. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco this week confirmed prosecutors’ consideration of what she termed the “fraudulent elector certifications.”

 Seems the 6 January Committee needs to issue 18 more subpoenas (2 PA alternate electors are already under subpoena) to the Pennsylvania electors who it now appears cast the bogus electoral votes for Biden when, according to the recent Pennsylvania Court decision, the absentee ballots were illegal and Trump should have won all 20 of Pennsylvania’s electoral votes. Hence, it was the Trump electors that were the legitimate electors and the Biden electors the bogus ones.

 The basis for the Court decision has nothing to do with if mail-in balloting is good or if it’s secure. If you read Article VII of the PA Constitution it clearly lists the limited number of reasons a voter can cast an absentee ballot and does NOT allow just anyone to do it without a reason. When the PA legislature changed the Constitution to allow anyone to cast an absentee ballot it voided all absentee ballots. The PA Constitution has the ways it can be amended and a simple vote by the legislature is NOT one of them, hence the Court correctly ruled. With this ruling Trump would have won Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes.

 Regardless, Biden still would have won the election but the final count would have been closer at 286 for Biden and 252 for Trump.
