SCOTUS already ruled that ballots postmarked by Tuesday and received by Friday should be counted. This is illegal voter suppression, plain and simple.

1. State Gov and AG can address this NOW as well as the PA democratic party

[Amishman]

2. shouldn't matter, we'll be up by far more than those votes will total

plus Lancaster has a lot of old white republicans (cough cough my in-laws and neighbors cough cough), wouldn't be surprised if those votes are split or advantage republican

still annoying though

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

5. I would not be entirely surprised if Biden wins without needing PA.

In which case these PA Trumphadists are going to look so stupid because they'll have done nothing but made their state look like an irrelevance on election night.

[Takket]

3. Well I refuse to pay my taxes until the Supreme Court says I have to

See how stupid this argument is?

10. I'm trying to figure how to pay IRS the $750 flat fee.

Guess I will have to wait until the "audit" is over or after NY takes action.

Oh, well, obviously rules are only for Democrats.

4. The larger problem

are the goobers who waited until the last minute to mail their ballots in! Why take the chance, especially this year?!

[stopdiggin]

13. me too on this one!

you waited until the last possible freakin' minute to mail your ballot?
I don't think anyone should be disenfranchised (out of general patriotic principle)
But you ARE a goober -- and a dumb-sh*t -- and my sympathies for your weak-assed, incompetent effort -- in this election year -- are very slight.

6. or some other direction

Fuckery

[Drunken Irishman]

7. It's bullshit but likely irrelevant.

We're probably talking only a few thousand ballots and to be honest, if it's that close, where this is the difference maker, we've got bigger problems.

[SWBTATTReg]

8. Every vote counts. If someone is guilty of suppressing or refusing to count the vote, they should

be charged with tampering w/ an election, including this thug. They should face jail time or something, for suppressing or trying to suppress votes.

[stopdiggin]

9. doubt very seriously if this will stand

if accurate in the first place. Strongly suspect that Lancaster Co will follow state election law (as will the rest of PA counties).

[nykym]

11. So what is he going to do if there is

NO supreme court case?

Totally illegal: GOP commissioner of Lancaster County, in southern Pennsylvania, is REFUSING TO COUNT MAIL-IN BALLOTS THAT COME IN AFTER ELECTION DAY UNTIL THERE IS A SUPREME COURT RULING

[roamer65]

12. Pennsylvania AG send in the lawyers.

[stillcool]

14. that was the point of the SCOTUS ruling, wasn't it

that they could revisit the question of counting ballots that came in late, after the election? Didn't PA say they would leave them aside...and wasn't PA supposed to be the in to putting the entire election in doubt? Maybe that was just a nightmare?

[Renew Deal]

15. Hasn't he already received a decision from the Supreme Court?

Also, "some other direction" should come from the AG or secretary of state. This guy is being a drama queen.

[Mr. Ected]

16. Joke will be on him when Trump is behind when ballots are counted

I see a 180 coming.

[MiniMe]

17. There has already been a supreme court ruling

Lock Him Up!
