Letter to the editor: U.S. and state constitutions are clear on election laws

As per the Supreme Court in Ex parte Milligan and American Jurisprudence 2d, Volume 16, the U.S. Constitution is in full force at all times — even during health scares. The Pennsylvania Constitution mandates: “No power of suspending laws shall be exercised unless by the Legislature or by its authority.”

So, mandates from Gov. Tom Wolf and his crony activist judges are null, void and unenforceable. The general public is accountable only to legislative laws, and no court or governor can “adapt” them to fit unforeseen circumstances. The same thing with election laws.

Under the Pennsylvania Election Code, all absentee and mail-in ballots, save for those from overseas military, “must be received in the office of the county board of elections no later than eight o’clock P.M.” on Election Day — PERIOD.

The U.S. Constitution mandates: “… No ex post facto Law shall be passed” and “No State shall … pass any … ex post facto Law … .” Pennsylvania’s Constitution states: “No ex post facto Law … shall be passed.” Must be important!

It is! Not even corrupt Democratic and RINO Republican legislators can change laws midstream in an election cycle to cheat Donald Trump. They’ve had 3½ years to do so, and now it’s too late.

Any elections officials who accept and count any unsolicited mail-in ballots, any ballots at all past 8 p.m. on Election Day, or follow any ex post facto “non-laws” during this election cycle, should be held to consequences for vote tampering and election fraud.
