GOP Takes Mail Voting To Court In Swing StatesThe Donald Trump era Grand Old Party (GOP) continues to have unfounded beef with mail voting. It is in court of the voting method and upcoming cases in Wisconsin and especially in Pennsylvania could have major effect on voting in two key states. This article by Zach Montellaro is published by Politico. Here is an excerpt:

A pair of looming state court cases could significantly curtail mail voting ahead of the midterms — one of Republicans’ major goals since former President Donald Trump went to war against the practice in 2020.

The state Supreme Courts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are both hearing major voting cases after conservative victories in lower courts. In Wisconsin, a judge in January ruled in favor of banning drop boxes for the return of absentee ballots. In Pennsylvania, the legal challenge went bigger, throwing out the state’s relatively new law allowing anyone to vote by mail without an excuse.

Both lower court rulings were put on hold during the state Supreme Court appeals. But a final ruling overturning Pennsylvania’s new voting law would arguably be the biggest change in election law since the presidential election: More than 2.6 million people there — nearly two-thirds of them registered Democrats, according to the U.S. Elections Project — cast ballots by mail in 2020.
