Republican State AGs Ask SCOTUS To Take PA Case

The Hill reports:



A group of Republican state attorneys general on Monday called on the Supreme Court to consider a case challenging a lower court ruling extending the mail-in ballot deadline in Pennsylvania.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, joined by nine other state attorneys general, said the justices should block a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day, but delivered through last Friday, to be counted.

“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision overstepped its constitutional authority and encroached on the authority granted to the Pennsylvania legislature,” Schmitt argued in the filing.
