Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law unconstitutional, appeals court finds - Pennsylvania Capital-Star

*This breaking story will be updated

A Pennsylvania appeals court has struck down the commonwealth’s landmark 2019 mail-in voting law.

In an opinion from Judge Mary Leavitt Friday morning, Commonwealth Court found that the law, which allows all Pennsylvanians to vote by mail without an excuse, was unconstitutional, agreeing with 14 House Republican lawmakers who filed suit against the law in September.

In the lead up to the 2022 governor’s race, some Pennsylvania Republican hopefuls are reaching for a new way to question conservative credentials — did their rival vote to approve no-excuse mail-in ballots?

The law, passed by the Republican-controlled General Assembly and signed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, was seen as a bipartisan win that expanded voting access — though many Democrats opposed it at the time for eliminating straight ticket voting.
