USA Today reports:
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear election case of U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, who started his legal fight against the results of the presidential race within weeks after fellow Republican Donald Trump lost the White House to Democrat Joe Biden.
The court announced its decision in an order issued Monday at 9:30 a.m. “The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied,” according to the order.
Kelly wanted the high court to hear his appeal, in which he and other Republicans sought to eliminate mail-in voting in future Pennsylvania elections. Kelly claimed that Act 77, the 2019 state law that authorized universal, no-excuses mail-in voting was unconstitutional.
