....but I'm sure you are ok with voting without proof of ID...


After the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots could be accepted three days after Election Day, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar submitted guidance that said proof of identification could be provided up until Nov. 12, which is six days from the ballot acceptance deadline. That guidance was issued two days before Election Day.

“[T]he Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance

Ahh the ID card argument do some research 34 states require voters to show identification at the polls in order to cast a ballot. PA is not one of them .

The constitution say you need an ID to Vote no

It’s all about voter suppression not having a secure election

Your boy Trump would cry fraud even if all states had voter ID and you would I am 100% certain you would stand with him. truth be damned

PS who push Voter I’d laws Republicans

the ballots in question were not cast in person...for the ballots in question you do...try to pay attention

State of PA

If a voter is voting for the first time in an election district, the voter must show proof
of identification, either photo or non-photo identification.

Act 18 of 2012 imposed new proof of identification requirements for voters applying to vote by absentee ballot. The court’s ruling in 2014 did not affect those new requirements and
they remain in effect.


A voter applying to vote by absentee ballot must provide proof of identification.

A voter who does not include proof of identification with the absentee ballot application should still receive an absentee ballot; however, the county board of elections must send a notice to the voter with the absentee ballot requiring the voter to provide proof of identification
with the absentee ballot.

How an un-American suggestion to allow some one more time for to correct their ballot so it counts ..

are you suggesting Trump would file such a law suit in a state he won?

That’s the problem with Trump lovers and conservatives in general they suggest they are all for the equal application of justice under the law .. but only claim fraud in Democratic areas

I know enough to understand when a party cares more about fake fraud then allowing voters to actual vote

you can't change election law right before an election particularly when it is not within your purview to do so...


“[T]he Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline … for certain electors to verify proof of identification,” Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt said in a court order.


This was in line with the Trump campaign’s argument, which was that there was no basis in the state’s law to extend the identification deadline, and that Boockvar did not have the power to unilaterally change it.
