PITTSBURGH — A lawsuit filed by several GOP members, including Congressman Mike Kelly and congressional candidate Sean Parnell, was thrown out by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Saturday. The Pa. Supreme Court cited how late the lawsuit was filed as part of the reason why it was thrown out. The lawsuit was filed last weekend. "It is not our role to lend legitimacy to such transparent and untimely efforts to subvert the will of Pennsylvania voters. Courts should not decide elections when the will of the voters is clear," Justice Wecht wrote.
The lawsuit aimed to throw out all mail-in ballots cast in the Nov. 3 election, arguing that provisions in recently passed Act 77 were unconstitutional.
The plaintiffs called for mail-in ballots that they alleged did not meet "Constitutional requirements" to not be certified and for only "legal votes" to be certified, or for the Pennsylvania General Assembly to choose the electors and compensate the legal costs of the plaintiffs.
