Pennsylvania Republicans, in Jones Day Petition, Try Again to Get U.S. Supreme Court Interested in Second Guessing State Election Law Decisions Through Independent State Legislature Theory

SCOTUS recently passed on taking up a case out of Montana, but Pennsylvania Republicans are trying again, with this cert petition involving a PA Supreme Court ruling allowing under state law those voters who filed a technically defective mail-in ballot to cast a timely provisional ballot instead. Republicans argue that the state Supreme Court violated the Supreme Court’s Moore v. Harper decision through interpretation that “exceeded the ordinary bounds of judicial review” thereby purportedly arrogating the power of the state legislature.

Stay tuned.
