Pennsylvania Mail-In Voting Scheme Declared Unconstitutional After Seeing It in Action During 2020 Election: ‘Our Votes Were Just Thrown Away’

A Pennsylvania court Friday struck down Act 77, the 2019 law that among other changes established no-excuse mail-in voting in the state.

Doug McLinko, vice chairman of the Bradford County Board of Commissioners in Pennsylvania, filed the suit, arguing that he was unable to legally perform his duties as commissioner and certify the 2020 election because the law is unconstitutional.

McLinko described the 2020 Trump-Biden election as a “mess” thanks to Act 77 and told Just the News, “Our votes were just thrown away.”

Just the News reported that the legislation was supported by Republicans and Democrats and signed into law by Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf.

Republicans exchanged no-excuse mail-in voting, which the Democrats wanted, for ending the option of straight party-line voting on ballots, which Republicans favored.

Instead, voters would have to select each candidate individually.

However, according to the 2005 report from the election reform commission chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker, absentee voting offers “the largest source of potential voter fraud.”
