NEW: Trump Campaign Takes Fight Over Pennsylvania Election and Mail-In Ballot Laws to US Supreme Court

 The Trump campaign on Sunday filed a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court to reverse several Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings that changed the state’s mail-in ballot law before the 2020 election.

The Trump campaign alleged in its filing that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court violated Article II of the US Constitution and the Bush v Gore SCOTUS ruling.

“Article II of the Constitution provides that “Each State shall appoint [electors for President and Vice President] in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 2 (emphasis added). That power is “plenary,” and the statutory provisions enacted by the legislature in the furtherance of that constitutionally-assigned duty may not be ignored by state election officials or changed by state courts. Bush v. Gore (“Bush II”), 531 U.S. 98, 104-05 (2000).” the Trump campaign wrote in its appeal to the Supreme Court.

The petition also cited a “related Pennsylvania case” – Republican Party v. Boockvar where Justices Alito, Clarence Thomas and Gorsuch observed the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision to circumvent the state legislature and unilaterally extend the deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots THREE DAYS after Election Day.

“This case presents in stark relief several of the violations that occurred in Pennsylvania. Together, those violations alone affected more ballots than the current margin of difference between the two principal candidates for President in Pennsylvania,” the campaign’s legal team wrote in its petition.

The Trump camp also argued equal protection laws were violated.

“The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, Section 1 provides, in relevant part: “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The campaign’s petition asked for an expedited review and a reply from the highest court of the land by this Thursday.
