Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that election officials must accept mail-in ballots even if the signatures on them don’t match those on file for a voter. The justices said nothing in the state’s laws required signatures to be verified, so if election officials are satisfied with the vote save for the signature, they cannot reject it.(Snip) President Trump’s campaign had challenged the state over the issue. Signature matching is considered a key check in many states that run elections through the mail, and election officials are trained in how to spot matches and to question signatures that don’t appear to match.
This ruling cheapens my vote.

Pennsylvania's 20 votes stolen. Scratch that one off the list. There'll be more votes than registered voters as always happens there.

They've had four years to put their cheating schemes in place and it looks like they're working. We're 100,000 votes behind in Florida as well, even though there were 100,000 more registered Rs in the state. I'm starting to expect a Biden landslide.

Signature verification is fundamental to a fair and accurate election. Not verifying signatures opens the doors to massive fraud by Democrats and their union minions. This must be overturned and stopped. It is common sense. As a result of this, if I find a ballot or steal as ballot - I can vote as anyone.

One more example of lawmaker laziness or incompetence writing laws which are open to interpretation. The court is sadly correct though I dare say these jurists came at this decision from a biased position against Republican arguments.

Then why bother with any of this chaos? Let everyone vote who shows up, or mails in a form. or drops off a sticky note written in crayon. Legal, illegal. dead, alive, comatose, 4, 10 or maybe 13 years old, anything goes. Pets, we forgot about pets. They should be able to vote too. And no deadlines. We'll keep counting as long as it takes to get the "winner" we want. This is crap.

So, the judges fully approve of vote fraud.
This needs to go to the SCOTUS now!

#8, if the law contains a provision for a signature, it goes without saying that the signature has to match the signature on file. It would be beyond stupid to write into the law that the two signatures have to match. Insane.
Here is the problem.
There will be lawsuits in every state, post-election, and we won't know the final vote tallies for any office, including down-ticket, for weeks and perhaps months.
Thank the Lord that McConnell, Graham, and DJT managed to push the nomination of Amy Barrett through. Otherwise, there could be a whole bunch of 4-4 decisions coming from the U.S. Supreme Court on voting issues, by Circuit, and the Circuits could vary in applying the laws.
This is an impending crisis, and the courts are doing it to us.

One would think the left would hide their voter fraud, but they are putting it out there for all to see. Guess its more of the 'in your face' tactics they talked about. They are daring others to stop them.

So you go in person to vote on election day, and you're turned away because they already recorded a vote under your name. Who signed it? Well, we don't know, it wasn't signed... but you don't get vote.

In addition, ballots will be counted for three days after the election, as long as they are marked by 3 November or earlier, unless the dates are smudged or absent, IN WHICH CASE THEY WILL COUNT!

I live in the third world nation know as Pennsylvania. My family has taken my deceased mother off the voting lists twice. My Dad, when he was alive in the 60's, had to hide his Republican Party ties or lose his job. There is a huge, long standing Republican Membership in PA, but you don't see it in the cities, or in big business. And Wolfe has been a disaster.
If Amy Coney Barrett can get through her confirmation, and we could get the current PA Supreme Court back before the SCOTUS, we might have a chance.
Otherwise we either suck it up and be slaves, or go to war.

Everything this court has done is aimed at making it easier for Democrats to manufacture votes after election day and steal the election.

Okay. Well, then we Republicans need to find a bunch of ballots (hey, they've sent millions out), vote a straight Republican ticket, and sign them with an X. I'll provide the postage stamps.

The message here is it is ok to cheat. So Trump supporters, if you can't beat them join them. Vote in person and mail in as many ballots as you can.

This is just the beginning.
The election laws of each state were determined by legislative process and voting upon the rules of law.
ONE judge simply cannot overturn election law.
This kind of news is put out only for ONE PURPOSE and that is to discourage people from fighting the injustice.
The demonrat socialists "Judge shop" in the hopes that people will simply give up.
Nobama left about 100 judgeships open thinking that Hildebeest was going to fill them, and that is going to be a big mistake when Trump wins re-election and fills EVEN MORE of the positions with Constitutionalist judicial appointments.
This is FAR from over, folks!

So what they are saying it doesn't make any difference if there is fraud. Vote often and as many times as you can.

Short of voiding all of the fraudulent votes already collected and still to come, and requiring in-person voting on election day only and with confirmed ID, it seems likely that the Democrat Socialists might just steal this election fair and square, and fully transparent.
