A Pennsylvania court struck down the commonwealth’s mail-in voting law, saying that voters must amend the state constitution in order to enact the legislation. The 3-2 decision by a five-judge Commonwealth Court panel of three Republicans and two Democrats struck down Act 77, which has allowed Pennsylvania residents to vote by mail without an excuse since 2019. « No-excuse mail-in voting makes the exercise of the franchise more convenient and has been used four times in the history of Pennsylvania, » Commonwealth Court Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt wrote in the ruling Friday. « If presented to the people, a constitutional amendment to end the Article VII, Section 1 requirement of in-person voting is likely to be adopted.
