Chapman (D) challenging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2019-Act-77-PA-General-Assembly.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Act 77<\/a> of the Pennsylvania Election Code. Act 77 is 2019 law that largely expanded mail-in voting opportunities in the Commonwealth. (The same plaintiffs already tried to eliminate no-excuse mail-in voting in the state in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/cases\/pennsylvania-mail-in-voting-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>McLinko v. Degraffenreid<\/em><\/a>, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld the law.) In their complaint, the plaintiffs argue that Act 77 should be struck down due its provision which states that \u201cif any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remaining provisions or applications of this act are void\u201d (in legal terms, this is known as a non-severability provision). The plaintiffs contend that in light of a federal lawsuit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/cases\/pennsylvania-lehigh-county-undated-ballots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Migliori v. Lehigh County Board of Elections<\/em><\/a>, in which the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals prohibited the application of two provisions of Act 77 requiring voters to date their outer secrecy envelopes for mail-in ballots, the entire law should be void. The petitioners request that the court declare all remaining provisions of Act 77 that are still in effect invalid. Oral argument was held before the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court on Oct. 12, 2022.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On June 27, 2023 the Court denied the Republicans&#8217; requests thereby leaving Act 77 in place. On July 21, the Republican petitioners appealed this decision.  On Aug. 1, the petitioners withdrew their appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-courtroom-updates\">Courtroom Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"accordion \">\n\t\n\n<button class=\"accordion-header\" type=\"button\">Oct. 12 Oral Argument<\/button>\n<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n\t\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>On Wednesday, Oct. 12, the full bench of judges on the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court heard oral arguments in a Republican&nbsp;case&nbsp;challenging&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2019-Act-77-PA-General-Assembly.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Act 77<\/a>, a 2019 law that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.pa.gov\/newsroom\/governor-wolf-signs-election-reform-bill-including-new-mail-in-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">largely expanded<\/a>&nbsp;mail-in voting in the commonwealth. The Republican plaintiffs argue that the entirety of Act 77 should be struck down based on a section of the law that stipulates that \u201cif any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remaining provisions or applications of this act are void\u201d (in legal terms this is known as a \u201cnon-severability provision\u201d).

The state lawmakers request that the court declare all remaining provisions of Act 77 that are still in effect invalid. Today, the court heard from an&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the Republican legislators<\/strong>&nbsp;who filed the lawsuit, an&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the acting secretary of the commonwealth and the Pennsylvania Department of State<\/strong>, an&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party (PDP)<\/strong>&nbsp;and an&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the Republican legislators<\/strong>&nbsp;spoke first. When asked if yesterday\u2019s U.S. Supreme Court&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/news-alerts\/scotus-vacates-ruling-requiring-counting-of-pa-undated-mail-in-ballots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decision<\/a>&nbsp;vacating the decision by the 3rd Circuit (which required Pennsylvania to count undated mail-in ballots that were previously rejected for lacking handwritten dates next to voters\u2019 declaration signatures on the outer ballot envelopes) impacts the current Act 77 challenge, the&nbsp;<strong>attorney<\/strong>&nbsp;responded \u201cno\u2026it\u2019s not terribly relevant.\u201d He argued that the non-severability provision claim \u2014 the argument that the whole law should be struck down because a provision of the law was blocked in court \u2014 is still active as there is also a Pennsylvania state court decision,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/cases\/pennsylvania-counties-undated-mail-in-ballots-primary-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Chapman v. Berks County Board of Elections<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;(a case that established that undated mail-in ballots must be included in vote certification totals in the May 2022 primary) pertaining to undated mail-in ballots. In other words, Republicans in this case are arguing that because the part of Act 77 that requires a date on the outer ballot envelope was struck down in state court , the entire law expanding mail-in voting access should be struck down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<strong>judge<\/strong>&nbsp;then asked what purpose the date on the outer envelope serves.&nbsp;The<strong> Republican legislators\u2019 attorney<\/strong>&nbsp;responded that the date serves a purpose in determining \u201cthe voter\u2019s eligibility.\u201d However, during oral argument for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/cases\/pennsylvania-counties-undated-mail-in-ballots-primary-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Chapman v. Berks County Board of Elections<\/em><\/a>, a Department of State official&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/cases\/pennsylvania-counties-undated-mail-in-ballots-primary-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">testified<\/a>&nbsp;that there is no administrative use for the date on the envelopes of mail-in ballots. When asked what the date requirement has to do with severability, the&nbsp;<strong>attorney<\/strong>&nbsp;argued that you have to look at the function of a law and, if a provision is taken out, determine if the law still serves the same function. In this situation, the&nbsp;<strong>attorney<\/strong>&nbsp;argued, the dates on outer envelopes serve a \u201cfraud\u201d prevention purpose, stating that if you remove the date requirement, \u201c[y]ou compromise the accountability and integrity of elections, by removing an important basis to challenge votes and to investigate fraud and things of that nature.\u201d He continued that \u201cfraud hides\u2026 No, I would say it\u2019s impossible to say and because fraud. Fraud is by nature a crime committed in secrecy and people try to conceal it and cover the tracks as best they can. Fortunately, some of them are stupid enough to do things like date or provision on a date when the voter is dead and now we\u2019ve discovered your fraud.<strong>\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>The&nbsp;<strong>judge&nbsp;<\/strong>asked if looking into fraud takes \u201cpriority over voter disenfranchisement,\u201d to which the attorney replied that \u201cthere is no issue of voter disenfranchisement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the court heard from the&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the defendants<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>(the acting secretary of the commonwealth and Pennsylvania Department of State)&nbsp;<\/strong>who stated that the \u201cfederal Civil Rights Act and its application doesn\u2019t invalidate any provision of Act 77.\u201d He argued that the Republican legislators are wrong about the date serving a purpose of eligibility and that the Republican legislators \u201cdon\u2019t cite a case law for that.\u201d He then moved on to rebut the Republican legislators\u2019 fraud prevention argument and demonstrated what is on the line in this case: \u201cWhat hangs in the balance is whether you\u2019re going to disqualify a qualified elector\u2019s ballot, their ability to participate in the democratic process, simply because they made a technical error of omitting a date\u2026It\u2019s clear that the fundamental bedrock principle in these sorts of cases is that the long standing and overriding policy of this common law is to protect the elective franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the court heard from one set of Democratic intervenors. The&nbsp;<strong>attorney for the DNC and PDP<\/strong>&nbsp;stated that the Republican \u201cpetitioners are the legislators who voted for this law. They voted for Act 77 and a year later, two years later, they challenged the constitutionality,\u201d adding that \u201calmost every single Republican voted for Act 77.\u201d He then went on to explain that the purpose of a non-severability provision is to strike down a law if provisions of it are stuck down in such a way that makes the standing provisions unrecognizable from what the Legislature intended. He argued that, in this situation, this is not the case: \u201cThe Legislature, on four occasions since Act 77 [was enacted] has passed amendments to the election code, which do not contain non-severability provisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court then heard from the&nbsp;<strong>attorney representing the DSCC and DCCC.&nbsp;<\/strong>He argued that the legislators\u2019 claims should be barred by laches, a legal principle that requires plaintiffs to make their claims within a reasonable time frame. The attorney argued that the legislators\u2019 delay causes \u201cextensive prejudice,\u201d noting that \u201c[t]here are hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania voters who have had their applications for mail-in ballots approved for the November 8 election, over 800,000 and probably over 900,000 by now, as we speak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong>&nbsp;attorney for the Republican legislators&nbsp;<\/strong>rebutted arguments brought by the Democratic intervenors and the Department of State and reiterated his belief that Act 77 should be struck down because of the law\u2019s non-severability provision. He argued that the non-severability applies in order to \u201cpreserve the compromise\u201d brokered to pass Act 77 and concluded that by not honoring the non-severability provision, Act 77 becomes a \u201cbait and switch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DemocracyDocket\/status\/1580216660622921729?s=20&amp;t=RmyjvcgLw4g_T0gC-SNq2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
