Absentee voting

On January 28, 2022, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court struck downward Act 77, which made absentee/mail service-in voting available to all eligible electors, as a violation of the Pennsylvania Constitution. The court voted 3-2 on the matter, with Judges Mary Hannah Leavitt, Patricia McCullough, and Christine Fizzano Cannon (all Republicans) forming the bulk and Judges Michael Wojcik and Ellen H. Ceisler (both Democrats) dissenting.^[21]

Every bit a event, and awaiting activeness past the state supreme court, absentee/mail-in voting eligibility in Pennsylvania is governed past Article VII, Section xiv, of the state constitution, which extends eligibility to "qualified electors who may, on the occurrence of any election, be absent from the municipality of their residence, because their duties, occupation, or business crave them to be elsewhere or who, on the occurrence of any election, are unable to attend at their proper polling places considering of illness or concrete disability or who volition not attend a polling place because of the observance of a religious vacation or who cannot vote because of election day duties, in the case of a county employee."

The court's analysis

Leavitt, writing for the majority, analyzed Human activity 77 within the context of 3 pertinent provisions of the state constitution:^[21]

Commodity VII, Section 1, of the Pennsylvania Constitution provides, in part, that a voter must have "resided in the ballot district where he or she shall offer to vote at to the lowest degree sixty days immediately preceding the election[.]" Leavitt said, "Our Supreme Court has specifically held that the phrase 'offer to vote' requires the concrete presence of the elector, whose 'ballot cannot be sent by mail or express, nor tin can it be cast outside of all Pennsylvania election districts and certified into the county where the voter has his dwelling house.'" Leavitt added, "There is no air in this construction of 'offer to vote.' ... Our Supreme Court has further directed that earlier legislation 'exist placed on our statute books' to allow qualified electors absent from their polling place on Election Day to vote by mail, 'an amendment to the Constitution must exist adopted permitting this to be done."^[21]

Article VII, Section iv establishes that "all elections by the citizens shall exist by election or by such other method as may be prescribed by police force," provided "that secrecy in voting be preserved." Leavitt said, "To read Section 4 every bit an potency for no-excuse mail-in voting is incorrect for three reasons. First, no-alibi mail service-in voting uses a newspaper election and not some 'other method.' 2nd, this reading unhooks Department 4 from the residuum of Article VII as well as its historical underpinnings. It ignores the in-person place requirement that was fabricated role of our central law in 1838. Third, it renders Article 7, Section 14, surplusage."^[21]

Article 7, Department 14, provides for absentee/mail-in voting, extending its availability to "qualified electors who may, on the occurrence of any election, be absent-minded from the municipality of their residence, because their duties, occupation, or concern require them to exist elsewhere or who, on the occurrence of whatever election, are unable to attend at their proper polling places because of illness or concrete disability or who will non attend a polling place considering of the observance of a religious holiday or who cannot vote because of ballot 24-hour interval duties, in the case of a county employee." Leavitt wrote, "Section 14 can simply be understood as an exception to the rule established in Article 7, Section i, that a qualified elector must present herself at her proper polling identify to vote on Election Day, unless she must 'be absent" on Election Mean solar day for the reasons specified in Article VII, Department fourteen(a)."^[21]

Dissent

In a dissenting stance, Wojcik disputed the majority's reading of Department four specifically: "[The] plain language of article VII, section iv specifically empowers the General Assembly to provide a distinct method of casting a ballot for electors who are present in their municipality on a chief, general, or municipal election solar day by permitting the apply of no-excuse postal service-in ballots. This method is singled-out from an elector'south appearance at his or her district of residence to bandage a ballot as provided in article VII, section 1, either past paper ballot or past the use of a car pursuant to commodity Vii, section 6, or the use of an absentee ballot past an elector who is absent from his or her municipality on the day of a primary, general, or municipal ballot every bit provided in article VII, department 14."

Reactions

Country Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R) said the post-obit in a argument: "Today's ruling should serve as a call to activeness to open a serious conversation about the reforms necessary to brand voting both accessible and secure for all Pennsylvanians. Governor Wolf has ignored this contend for over a year, but hopefully this ruling will help bring him to the table so we tin address concerns virtually our election organisation one time and for all. " Country Sen. Doug Mastriano (R) approved of the ruling, proverb, "I welcome the terminate of 'no-alibi' post-in voting in Pennsylvania and I introduced legislation this session that does only that."^[22] ^[23]

Chaser General Josh Shapiro (D) said, "This opinion is based on twisted logic and faulty reasoning, and is wrong on the law. It volition be immediately appealed and therefore won't have any immediate impact on Pennsylvania'due south upcoming elections."^[24] Governor Tom Wolf (D) too criticized the ruling: "The strength of our democracy and our land depends on eligible voters casting their election and selecting their leaders. We need leaders to support removing more barriers to voting, not trying to silence the people."^[25]
