State Supreme Court Will Hear Mail-In Voting Arguments

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Pennsylvania’s highest court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting law, after a lower court ruled the law violates the state constitution. The state Supreme Court said Wednesday it will hear oral arguments at its March 8 session in Harrisburg. The mail-in voting law – which allows no-excuse mail-in voting by any registered voter – remains in force while the state Supreme Court hears the appeal by Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration. Three Republican judges on a Commonwealth Court panel of five judges agreed Friday with Republican challengers and ruled that no-excuse mail-in voting is prohibited under the state constitution. The two Democratic judges on the panel dissented.
