Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rejects Republican Suit To Throw Out Ballots : Biden Transition Updates : NPR
From the article: Another Republican effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election has been stopped, this time by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which on Saturday rejected a request that some 2.5 million mail-in ballots in the state be thrown out.
In its ruling, the high court unanimously dismissed a lawsuit that claimed that a 2019 state law allowing no-excuse absentee ballots was unconstitutional.
The justices contended that if plaintiffs had constitutional concerns over the mail-in voting law, their suit would been filed earlier, and not after millions of mail-in ballots were cast in the 2020 primary and general elections. Justices further noted that the plaintiffs had waited until after the votes were tallied and their preferred presidential candidate lost the state.
"Unsatisfied with the results of that wager, they would now flip over the table, scattering to the shadows the votes of millions of Pennsylvanians," Justice David Wecht wrote in a statement concurring with the three-page order.
"It is not our role to lend legitimacy to such transparent and untimely efforts to subvert the will of Pennsylvania voters."
