Supreme Court Refused To Hear Pennsylvania Election Cases

Supreme court rejects Pennsylvania case

The Supreme Court turned away Republican challenges to the presidential election results in Pennsylvania on Monday.

The justices declined to take up cases challenging a Pennsylvania state court decision that extended the ballot-receipt deadline in last November’s election by three days due to the coronavirus pandemic.

RT reports: Among the flurry of Supreme Court rulings on Monday was the decision to reject hearing two cases challenging the Pennsylvania supreme court’s changes to election rules, including the counting of mail-in ballots for several days after the legally established deadline.

The order list showed no explanation for the majority’s decision, only the dissents by three of the court’s conservative justices – Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas. The two other justices considered to be conservative – Donald Trump nominees Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett – apparently sided with Chief Justice John Roberts and the liberals.

Alito and Gorsuch said it was an absolutely legitimate question of whether the state supreme court can override “even very specific and unambiguous rules adopted by the legislature” and that citing the Covid-19 pandemic as justification means it might happen again.

“We may hope that by next spring the pandemic will no longer affect daily life, but that is uncertain,” they wrote in a joint dissent. 

Alito and Gorsuch also brought up the fact that both parties had urged the SCOTUS to hear the case before the 2020 election, only for the Democrats to change their mind afterwards. As Justice Barrett was still waiting to be confirmed, the court ended up deadlocked 4-4 when Roberts sided with the liberals.

In his dissent, Thomas actually cited Roberts’s ruling in another case to demonstrate why the Pennsylvania petitioners “faced irreparable harm,” and argued that failure to address these challenges threatens democracy itself.

“Changing the rules in the middle of the game is bad enough. Such rule changes by officials who may lack authority to do so is even worse. When those changes alter election results, they can severely damage the electoral system on which our self-governance so heavily depends,” he wrote.

While the rule changes may not have affected the outcome of any federal election, insofar as anyone can tell, they did affect at least one election for the Pennsylvania Senate, Thomas pointed out. 

With almost two years to go before another federal election, Thomas argued this was the “ideal opportunity” to address the issue – not after the fact, with the clock ticking and someone inevitably gets disenfranchised by the outcome.

“One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us,” Thomas wrote.

The Pennsylvania Republicans and former President Trump alleged the expansion of mail-in voting and extension of deadlines to count the votes helped President Joe Biden come out ahead, even though Trump had a clear lead on Election Day.

  1. Basically proving that Lin Woods assertions about Robert’s are all true It is a little known fact that Scalinin died at what us really known in the sex industry as a pedo ranch where young guys are working .Obama had to fly out there asap to cover the whole thing up and make sure msm stayed with the deceivers scripts Their main role Nothing new Always the same ,always the opposite And of course anyone with any common sense knew immediately when the Supremes refused to hear the first round if cases that they were all in bed with the pedo pc crowd of human.traffickers drug traffickers money launderers and pagan .Look Scalinu really destroyed any ” freedom of religion ” when he made the 7th Day Adventists unable to follow their believed about medical procedures or work day laws In fact the SCOTUS LEGISLATED ,( which IS NOT there role at all in the Constitution ) that no religion could do anything that contravened their decisions .They made themselves above every God on Earth .And they did it illegaly .They are frauds And they did that about 20 years ago How didnt Guiliani Woods or Powell know ? I understand how the majority are ignorant but yop prosecutors and attorneys too ? The great deceiver knows how to work his deceptions very well .I knew they were wasting their time appealing to the Supremes .Rhe while nation gas been corrupted by satanic pagans fir well over a quarter if century all in disguise as the opposite

  2. The only job the Supremes were created to do is to decide if Acts /actions are Constitutional or not .That’s their real job .

  3. What people everywhere have to ask is why are some people never ever arrested or charged with crimes that everyone knows ,that is common knowledge, and others are? Why is Epstein charged and no obe else ,not one person he was associated with except Ghislane .? Are we to believe that all the rest of their circle are innocent? I don’t think so .Who is directing it all ? Who is protecting the gentiles and throwing the Jews to the mob ? Who is setting the Jews up as the fall guys ? Why ? Those are the real questions of our times

    • And why does practically no one on earth know who Vanguard Corporation ,the second richest ,is and similarly why is MB sales ,the second biggest online trade on the planet almost an unknown entity yo. Theres the clues And third clue is why is Martin Bormann almost erased from the history of ww2 ? Solve those and then you will understand the truth .

    • Jews represented the majority of the perpetrators of the abuse on the island not gentiles. Were any of he abused children jewish? Nope. Victims were Christians. Listen to what Maria Farmer said about he arrogance, racism and superiority complex held by Maxwell and Epstein. They were jewish supremists as many jews are. Not a set up dude…this is a MOSSAD CIA honeytrap that’s why no jews died, only a few of he investigators died, christians.

  4. And they couldn’t hear them because the evidence is what they MUST make their decision on and the evidence proves the election was stolen Beyond any reasonable doubt .And they knew it .
