Justices uphold Pennsylvania's mail-in voting expansion
Source: CBS News
A wide expansion of mail-in voting in Pennsylvania survived a legal challenge on Tuesday before the state Supreme Court in a case brought by some of the same Republican state representatives who voted for the legislation nearly three years ago.
Millions of state voters have chosen to cast ballots by mail in recent elections, although Democrats have used it in far greater numbers and the law fell out of favor with Republicans as former President Donald Trump attacked it during his losing 2020 reelection campaign.
The 5-2 ruling, with the two Republican justices both voting no, means expanded vote-by-mail will almost certainly be in place for marquee races in November for governor and U.S. Senate.

A voter drops off his mail ballot for the 2022 Pennsylvania primary elections in Newtown Square, on May 2nd.
The state's Supreme Court ruled against a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a state law that expanded mail-in voting. The lawsuit was brought forward by the state's Republicans - who had voted to approve the same law in 2019.

because the GOP case was utterly ridiculous. The GOP, save for one Rep. in the state House, unanimously voted for Act-77 and had no problems with it, even including a provision in the law for anyone to file suit for the law being "unconstitutional" within 6 months after enactment (which no one did), and had no problem with it when it was first used for the 2020 primary. But when they lost in the 2020 general, "things changed". 
They are trying to concoct a way to permanently bypass any gubernatorial say on legislation to impose fascism in PA by doing modifications to the state Constitution - which will eventually require a ballot initiative (with the questions usually included during low-turnout primaries). We are going to have to be ready for that kind of bullshit.
