Ten Attorneys General Join Supreme Court Case Against Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Deadline

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

AGs from Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas filed in Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar, which challenges the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's late October decision to allow ballots arriving after Election Day to be counted - despite, as The Federalist  notes - state laws mandating otherwise.

"Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our Republic and it's one of the reasons why the United States is the envy of the world," said Missouri AG Eric Schmitt in a Monday press conference. "We have to ensure that every legal vote cast is counted in that every illegal vote cast is not counted."

Associate Justice Samuel Alito Jr. already granted the Republican Party of Pennsylvania's request and temporarily ordered all counties segregate mail-in ballots that arrived after 8 p.m. on Election Day from others, but the lawsuit is still pending petition in the highest court.
