Other states have been using legal mail-in ballots for decades. It allows more registered voters more time to research/compare the candidates and to vote without taking time away from professional or family duties.
A majority of Republican Pennsylvania state legislators introduced and enacted mail-in ballot legislation in the fall of 2019, to be in effect in 2020. Then the “plague” hit us. More voters than ever before voted by mail, and a Democratic president was elected. Apparently, a Democratic president elected this way was wrong, yet down-ballot elections won by Republicans were OK. Now some of those same legislators who introduced the legislation say mail-in balloting is unconstitutional.
Republicans throughout the U.S. are actively promoting legislation to restrict “certain” voters from voting. So much discrimination against so many people continues to be supported by so many GOPers, while Democrats want every single citizen to have the unrestricted right and ability to have a voice in electing our officers and leaders.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court should rule mail-in balloting constitutional and keep it in place.
Voting for Democratic candidates just makes so much more sense. “Justice for all!”
