Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court rules mail-in ballots will count even if signatures don’t match

57

Unbelievable corruption from the Left. Changing the rules of an election with just over a week is beyond disgraceful. But this is the world that we live in because of the corrupt Dems, who know they can’t defeat President Trump fairly. G-d help us if the Democrats take power on November 3rd. Watch your back, Mr. President. Vote in person, America.

Pa. Supreme Court rules mail-in ballots will count even if signatures don’t match

Story continues below advertisement

By Washington Times, October 23, 2020

Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that election officials must accept mail-in ballots even if the signatures on them don’t match those on file for a voter.

The justices said nothing in the state’s laws required signatures to be verified, so if election officials are satisfied with the vote save for the signature, they cannot reject it.

“We, therefore, grant the Secretary’s petition for declarative relief, and direct the county boards of elections not to reject absentee or mail-in ballots for counting, computing, and tallying based on signature comparisons conducted by county election officials or employees, or as the result of third- party challenges based on such comparisons,” Justice Debra Todd wrote in the opinion for a unanimous court.

President Trump’s campaign had challenged the state over the issue.

Signature matching is considered a key check in many states that run elections through the mail, and election officials are trained in how to spot matches and to question signatures that don’t appear to match.

But though Pennsylvania asks voters to sign a declaration on mail ballots, the state’s new laws over the past two years expanding vote-by-mail options don’t require those signatures to match, the state court says.

In Oregon, which pioneered vote-by-mail and where every voter is automatically mailed a ballot, thousands of votes are disqualified in each election because signatures didn’t match.

The state does give voters a chance to “cure” the error and have their vote count, though not all voters are able to be reached, and some don’t bother to fix the situation, particularly if Election Day has already passed.

In Pennsylvania, voters who cast ballots by mail are supposed to sign a declaration on the envelope used to mail back their ballot.

OH, you mean the corrupt guy Trump mistakenly hired following the OTHER corrupt guy he mistakenly hired following the first corrupt guy he mistakenly hired, named “BARR?”

The chances of Barr doing this are less than the chances of him prosecuting Hillary.

Are you suggesting Trump loves the daily humiliation and heading the swamp? Let me state the obvious. Trump can’t get decent people confirmed by the swamp and you can’t leave all these positions open. This is why he is constantly firing people and replacing them. He is trying to get past the stuffed pipeline. Barr used to have a decent reputation till NOW….I don’t think anyone could have predicted how corrupt and rotten we are internally.

We haven’t realized how bad it is because virtually everyone prior to Trump were there to benefit from the corruption. Trump is the first one to frustrate the status quo and cost people money because of his refusal to play along and thus the fight that erupted has exposed far more of the evil than would ever have been exposed. If Hillary had won, everything would have been smooth and happy, right up to the point where the country collapsed from fraud.

Isn’t this one of those scenarios that prompted the Founding Fathers to include the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights?

I think this is called government over reach or akin to communism. The left’s goals become clearer and clearer as they step on the rule of law, ethics, morals, common sense and decency. If the left are allowed to get away with stealing this election, anarchy is just around the corner.

Sorry if I sound like an old crackpot, but I’m old enough that it should be allowed once in a while.

Well you know it could be argued that they have already declared ID theft as legal. My husband’s ID was stolen about 15 years ago. It was really an outrage!

First we could only report it to the police in the county in which the thief was in when the ID was stolen.
How were we supposed to know where he was when he used a computer to commit the crime.
Then we contacted the FBI because he was purchasing things with our name in another state.
We were told by the FBI that since he “only” charged $30,000.00 of goods to my husband that was not enough for the FBI to get involved because they only handled losses of $50,000.00 or more.
After a lot of headache and a lot of work we finally got this guy and last year he pled guilty in court. We did not go because the trial was in another state and he had already pled guilty.

But as far as I am concerned the US Government is responsible for a lot of this by failing to go after these people unless they take 50K from you? That is about as good as ObamaCare giving you free health care after you spend 15K in deductibles.

The PA GOP in the PA house will choose the slate of delegates to the electoral college if there is no declared winner due to vote irregularities before Dec 8. If it appears that the Dems have cheated through mail in voter fraud I am sure the PA House will do the right thnig.

States cannot allow fraudulant votes to be counted. Its a violation of every conceivable right of all its citizens. Now, anyone in PA can just dump into the mail tens of thousands of fraudulent ballots and win any election. SCOTUS will have to step in and stop this fraud. The struggle will begin on November 4.

Why can’t the Electoral College reject ALL votes from Pennsylvania and any other state that does this?
Is there a law that mandates the EC to accept all state votes as valid?
Is there no law that mandates that all states have to play by the same rules?

Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court rules mail-in ballots will count even if signatures don’t match.

Which will be struck down by the Supreme Court….

It becomes more and more critical to seat Judge Barrett before the election…..especially since Roberts has turned out to be just another supporter of the horrors the Left want to install in our country.
I’d like to know what the Left has on him…..

Then why should banks investigate when a check appears to have the “wrong” signature on it? worked in a bank back in the early 70’s and we had to file the checks everyday. We had to compare the signature on the check to the signature on file and if it was different, we had to look into it. We had to call the customer and ask if they had written that particular check. Sometimes they had, sometimes they had not. Perhaps the checking account owner’s handwriting has changed over the years or they have a physical problem. Aren’t these the excuses given by Democrats for demanding that we allow ballots with questionable signatures?
