Update that a Pennsylvania trial judge has temporarily halted the certification of votes until a Friday evidentiary hearing. This is in a case brought by Republican politicians and some voters alleging that the expansion of Pennsylvania’s “no excuse” mail in voting violated the state’s constitution.
It’s important to note that this type of temporary order doesn’t indicate that the plaintiffs will win this lawsuit. It’s more of a placeholder that suspends further activity until the judge has a chance to consider the evidence. And of course, this judge is at the lowest level, and her rulings may be overturned by higher level courts.
