New vote-by-mail and same-day voter registration laws were deemed unconstitutional by the Delaware Supreme Court on Friday, striking down changes that state Democrats hoped would improve voter turnout ahead of the midterm elections.
The decision came after justices heard arguments in the case that centered on whether the state’s constitution would allow all registered voters to cast a ballot through the mail and whether allowing people to register to vote on Election Day is allowed by provisions within the state constitution.
The court determined that the vote-by-mail law “impermissibly expands the categories of absentee voters identified” in the state constitution. The same-day registration law conflicts with the registration periods outlined in the constitution, the justices wrote in a three-page ruling.

Delaware’s Supreme Court on Friday ruled that recently passed laws allowing universal vote by mail and same-day registration are unconstitutional, marking a win for state Republicans who had rallied against the legislation.
The court found that the two moves conflict with the registration and absentee voter categories outlined in the First State’s constitution. It upheld a prior ruling by the state’s vice chancellor, which rejected the vote-by-mail law, while overturning his upholding of the Election Day registration law.
The bills were passed in the final days of the state’s recent General Assembly, which ended in June. Democrats had previously tried to amend the state’s constitution but had not managed to secure the two-thirds support needed.

JUDGES OVERIDING the will of the people so much for voting.

Did you even read the article?
* “Delaware’s Supreme Court on Friday ruled that recently passed laws allowing universal vote by mail and same-day registration are unconstitutional,” – the will of the people do not pass laws, politicians do.
* “The court found that the two moves conflict with the registration and absentee voter categories outlined in the First State’s constitution. It upheld a prior ruling by the state’s vice chancellor, which rejected the vote-by-mail law, while overturning his upholding of the Election Day registration law.”
The lies, deceptions, hypocrisy and treachery of the treasonous, socialist Democrat Party know no bounds.
Too true.. AND i give props to this court, for UPHOLDING The constitution!!
The ‘will of the people?’ Nice try, leftist coward. The state Constitution is the defining law.
The will of the people didn’t seem to matter to the left, out in CA, when they FOR FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS iirc, put “legal weed’ on the ballot, AND THE VOTERS EACH TIME SAID NO WAY IN heck.. SO they went to the COURTS to get the VOTERS WILL rejected.
When Democrats say “improve Voter turnout”, I suspect they mean gather more fraudulent votes for Democrats. I wonder how voting will go in areas now free of mandatory mail-in voting, and Democrats reaction to the supposed Red Wave?
Other States , listen up and do the same along with proof of citizenship and Photo ID mandatory when registering to vote.
I always have to laugh when I’m requested to sign in to vote using my finger as a writing devise. The signature looks NOTHING like my normal signature. They do not want to be able to read it, obviously.
I’ve often asked the same, when i go vote. HOW DO they expect using one of those real small half inch rubber thinggies oR YOUR FINGER, to have your signature look ANYTHING LIKE what you signed ON PAPER USING A PEN, when you registered????
ITS almost like they don’t CARE IF YOU are the one you say you are…
Send four or five balots of those no longer with us to one of your most loyal minions so they can be signed and returned with none the wiser. Those four or five ballots become only one if voting has to be done in person as to date a deceased has never been seen at the polls, well maybe Casper
Hiding Biden will not Stand for that RULING. Hiding Biden will have the Ruling Appealed. Hidin Biden said he was born in a PR Community in Wilmington, Delaware so that may make him a PR. So when he gets that News he SCREAM and CAUSE until the Sky falls.
Dunce Biden was a lifeguard at an all black pool. He even threatened Corn Pop with a chain, none the less. Grifter Biden also grew up in a Puerto Rican neighborhood. Buffoon Biden graduated in the top percentile of his college class. The Idiot also had three degree’s. Moron Biden created 10,000,000 jobs. The feckless fool Biden garnered 81 million votes. Do you low IQ Democrat voters see a pattern here?
Too bad it isn’t that easy in all states to stop or control all these phony mail in ballots. What ever happened to the old laws that said if you can’t vote in person you could apply for an absentee ballot. There was no such thing as mass mail out of ballots. It’s no wonder that so many people in this country feel like our voting system is broken.
