Pennsylvania Supreme Court to Democrat Election Officials Counting Illegal/Invalid Votes: Stop Immediately. Obey the Law. Obey Our Prior Rulings.

As you know, former Senator Bob Casey, represented by Hillary Clinton fixer and government-weaponizer Marc Elias, is fighting to count unsigned and undated votes in order to steal the Senate seat from the actual winner, Dave McCormick.

The Democrat election commissioners admitted they knew it was illegal to count invalid votes but voted to count them anyway.

As the contested Pennsylvania Senate race barrels towards a $1 million recount, Democratic officials in a few blue counties are openly admitting to counting disqualified ballots in defiance of state law and court orders.

The Associated Press has called the race for Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick, who currently holds a 26,000 vote lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. But Casey has refused to concede and insisted that every vote be counted. The close margin -- within one percentage point -- triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law.

Yet the critical question is which votes should be counted? The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled before the election that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results. However, Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order.

"I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country," Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, said Thursday as she and other Democrats voted to reject a GOP-led challenge to ballots that should be disqualified.

"People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention. There's nothing more important than counting votes."

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court already ruled that unsigned and undated ballots were invalid. The Democrat election commissioners, who ran for office promising that election officials control whose votes count, declared that they were violating the Supreme Court's rulings because they want to... save democracy.

The state Supreme Court just told them to stop:

BREAKING - victory for Dave McCormick and RNC: Pennsylvania Supreme Court Orders Compliance with Absentee Ballot Rules, Invalidating Misdated and Undated Ballots for 2024 Election

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an order directing all county boards of elections, including those in Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, to comply with prior rulings regarding mail-in and absentee ballots. Specifically, ballots that fail to meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania Election Code--such as missing or incorrect dates on the declaration envelope--will not be counted for the 2024 general election. The court invoked its King's Bench authority to enforce this directive but denied broader requests for jurisdiction over other election-related matters.

NOTE: The decision reinforces adherence to election laws during the ongoing election cycle.

Well I don't think they said that. They said they declined to extend this order to the other various election disputes going on.

"King's Bench authority" is the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's power to intervene in any case going on in the state, even if it hasn't gone through review by lower courts.

Or even if no case has yet been filed.

King's Bench Power and Power of Extraordinary Jurisdiction

Can the Supreme Court hear any case it chooses?

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has the power to consider any case pending in a lower court and even some matters not pending in the courts when it sees the need to address an issue of "immediate public importance."

When it does so, the Supreme Court exercises its "King's Bench power" or its power of "extraordinary jurisdiction" as provided by the Pennsylvania Constitution and Pennsylvania law.

Although King's Bench power, which is based on English common law, is similar in many respects to extraordinary jurisdiction, the two powers are not identical. Extraordinary jurisdiction enables the Supreme Court to assume jurisdiction of any matter pending before a lower court at any stage. King's Bench power may be exercised when no matter is pending -- for example, if an issue of importance arises in connection with the Supreme Court's administrative authority over the lower courts. It also gives the Supreme Court the authority to supervise and administer the judiciary.

Cases were already pending, though.

MCCORMICK/CASEY RECOUNT UPDATE:

Following our latest RNC lawsuit, today the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled yet again that undated ballots CANNOT BE COUNTED.

No more excuses. Election officials in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and other counties have absolutely no choice but to reject illegal ballots. We will hold them to it.
Protect The Vote!

Statement by McCormick spokeswoman after the PA Supreme Court's 7-0 ruling against Casey and Democratic counties that tried to count illegal ballots.

Elizabeth Gregory @eliz_gregory 38m Today's ruling is a massive setback to Casey's attempt to count illegal ballots after Bucks County & others blatantly violated the law in an effort to help him.

Senator-elect McCormick is very pleased with this ruling & looks forward to taking the Oath of Office in January.

Endless Democrat corruption and insurrection:

Governor Josh Shapiro, who called J6 an insurrection and is the front-runner for the 2028 nomination, has sat by and allowed this lawless assault on democracy to go on.
