Delaware judge rules vote-by-mail law unconstitutional, cannot be used in November
Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook’s ruling came Wednesday, prohibiting mail-in voting in future general elections.
What was said at the time of its passing?
“I don’t know whether it’s constitutional or not constitutional, and neither do you guys or anybody else in here,” (Delaware’s Speaker of the House Pete Schwartzkopf) said as he ended debate over the bill in June. “The best way to get this thing done is hear this bill, move forward, and let a challenge go to the courts and let them decide it.”
In other words, they were hoping no one would challenge it, when they most likely knew if was unconstitutional and hoped no one would notice.
The law also included an allowance for same-day registration at polling places, which Cook ruled was constitutional. Meanwhile, voters who can’t make it to the polls can ask for an absentee ballot.
Correct. Absentee ballots when requested with reason, is constitution. Ability to request a mail-in ballot ahead of an election without the need for an excuse/too lazy to vote IN-PERSON, goes against the constitution.
Same goes for sending out a ballot to everyone person listed on a voter roll (even those who moved or died) still gets a ballot?
Nope! Those are unconstitutional.
You have a valid reason you can’t vote IN-PERSON, you can request/get an absentee ballot. Otherwise, you MUST vote IN-PERSON. PERIOD!
This is what any country needs. Move judges who make rulings BASED of the law and Constitution, and NOT activists who want to create LAWS from the bench, and go against the constitution.
