Pennsylvania Judge Halts Further Vote Certification Steps

Bloomberg Law

 

 

A Pennsylvania judge issued an order preventing the state from taking additional steps to certify its election results until she holds a hearing on Friday morning.

 

The ruling on Wednesday by Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough in Pittsburgh halts the process “to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election.” Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified President-elect Joe Biden’s 80,555-vote Pennsylvania victory yesterday, and Governor Tom Wolf appointed electors for the state. Boockvar and Wolf are both Democrats.

 

The case before McCullough is separate from the federal lawsuit by President Donald Trump’s campaign that seeks to undo Pennsylvania’s certification unless it tosses out tens of thousands of mail-in ballots the suit alleges are illegal. The state case was brought by Pennsylvania Republicans led by U.S. Representative Mike Kelly, who sought to derail certification by arguing that the state’s expansion of mail-in voting was illegal.

It could not be invented!

"The irony here is that Rep. Kelly won his election against Democratic nominee Kristy Gnibus, and is thereby seeking to prevent his own win from being certified."

Nobody’s counting ‘chickens’ it’s votes and Biden has millions more votes and more than enough electoral votes.

I'm watching the hearing now (it was live streamed).  I've heard some interesting teasers so maybe I'll be back with some highlights (it's almost 4 hours).  The question now, at least in my mind, is if Trump succeeds in PA what happens to other states?

Perhaps Mr. Kelly should be certified, but not for Congress.

It's a pandemic. People are expected to turn up at polling booths to get themselves infected?

Trump is simply extending this as long as he can...just as he did with his business bankruptcies...so he can bilk more people out of money. By stopping payments on his casino debts, he forced the banks to either  lose everything (the casinos were worthless basically) or settle for far less than owed. By extending the election drama..he continues to milk people for contributions which will go mainly to pay his personal and campaign debts or be used for a 2024 run. Suckers....let them get bilked...eventually some of them will figure  it out.

Isn't it marvelous to witness a triumph of hope over experience, Trump lovers thinking there is a residue of redemption for their fallen idol. Dream on.

Actually, it is pretty clear what will happen: The case will be dismissed, as all the other cases before. Why? Because the election has been held in a fair and transparent way (as it is possible) and the staff and helpers have done a good job. There is no evidence of widespread fraud or misconduction. So there is no reason not to certify the election result.

 

The delay to certify the results for 4 day is all the losers can do. It may even go on to the next court level. It's a shame, but the final outcome is inevitable.

+ 1

yes, some will figure it out, but only a few. A majority seems to be so deluded, it's perplexing to see.

I don't really get this.  If "Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified President-elect Joe Biden’s 80,555-vote Pennsylvania victory yesterday" what does "halts the process to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election" even mean?  How can there be any further action to halt something that has already happened?
