The Trump campaign is moving to intervene in Pennsylvania elections, suing to overturn a Supreme Court decision allowing the key battleground state to continue counting mail ballots received after Tuesday until Friday, so long as they were postmarked by Nov. 3.
The Supreme Court last month ruled 4-4 to keep a lower court decision in place that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted for another three days despite a Republican request for a stay on that decision. And last week the high court denied a Republican request to fast-track their appeal to block the extended deadline.
Trump campaign manager Justin Clark accused Democrats of “scheming” to “disenfranchise and dilute” Republican votes.
“Pennsylvania’s unhinged, radical left Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar has tried her hardest to bake in a backdoor to victory for Joe Biden with late, illegal ballots in collusion with the partisan state supreme court.” Clark said in a statement.
“The United States Constitution is clear on this issue: the legislature sets the time, place, and manner of elections in America, not state courts or executive officials,” Clark continued.
Clark pointed to an Eighth Circuit court decision in Minnesota, which ruled mail-in ballots in the state must be in by Election Day or they will not be counted. The 2-1 panel ruling had said counting ballots up to seven days after Nov. 3, as Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, stood “in direct contradiction to Minnesota election law governing presidential elections.”
Clark said the campaign was taking two additional legal actions in Pennsylvania, suing to stop elections officials from what they characterize as “hiding the ballot counting and processing from our Republican poll observers.”
Clark said that in Philadelphia and elsewhere, elections officials had forced their elections watchers to stand 25 plus feet away to observe the counting process.
The campaign is also suing against a move by Bookvar to allow first-time voters who must provide identification to vote to provide that missing proof of identification beyond the voting deadline.
“Without our action, Pennsylvanians, and possibly all Americans, may be forced to wait yet another several days for the outcome of the election – all because of the Secretary’s ridiculous eleventh-hour guidance that directly violates the Election Code,” Clark said.
“President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law,” Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement. “We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted. We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access.”
