Supreme Court Rules On Mail-In Voting

Delaware’s Supreme Court just made a huge ruling regarding mail-in voting.

In a monumental decision, Delaware Supreme Court has ruled that mail-in voting is unconstitutional.

The decision was made unanimously by the Delaware Supreme Court which also ruled that same-day registration to vote is also unconstitutional in the state.

Absentee ballot voting is still legal for service members or others who are unable to make it to the polls but as for mail-in ballots they are officially illegal altogether.

Biden must be furious his home state turned the tables on him.

The Conservative Brief had more on the story:

Another state Supreme Court has issued a key ruling ahead of the crucial midterm elections in regard to balloting changes made ahead of the 2020 contests that were unprecedented for many locations around the country.

In a unanimous decision, the Delaware Supreme Court ruled on Friday that universal mail-in balloting and same-day voter registration both violate the state constitution. “The Vote-by-Mail Statute impermissibly expands the categories of absentee voters identified in Article V, Section 4A of the Delaware Constitution. Therefore, the judgment of the Court of Chancery that the Vote-by-Mail Statute violates the Delaware Constitution should be affirmed,” the court wrote.

Reports noted that while absentee voting in the state is legal, there are restrictions. For instance, voters must be unable to actually reach their polling place due to a physical disability or a chronic illness that prevents them from being able to cast a ballot in person.

Another blow for mail-in ballots and this one in Biden’s home state!

Fox News had more details to report:

Delaware’s Supreme Court on Friday ruled that recently passed laws allowing universal vote by mail and same-day registration are unconstitutional, marking a win for state Republicans who had rallied against the legislation.

The court found that the two moves conflict with the registration and absentee voter categories outlined in the First State’s constitution. It upheld a prior ruling by the state’s vice chancellor, which rejected the vote-by-mail law, while overturning his upholding of the Election Day registration law.

The bills were passed in the final days of the state’s recent General Assembly, which ended in June. Democrats had previously tried to amend the state’s constitution but had not managed to secure the two-thirds support needed.

The constitution allows absentee voting in certain situations, such as an inability to go to the polls due to public services, occupation or disability. The Democratic attorney general had argued that mail-in voting was not absentee voting. Meanwhile, Delaware’s constitution says that registration cannot end less than 10 days before the election.

The Supreme Court in Joe Biden’s Delaware ruled that universal mail-in voting & same-day voter registration are unconstitutional—major blow to Dem attempts to reengineer electoral processes in defiance of popular opinion & have eroded voter confidence. https://t.co/QvtcXCM74j
