Another legal win for Democrats via Priorities USA PAC
Pro-Biden super PAC notches election lawsuit wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania
Courts in the two Rustbelt states ruled primarily in favor of parties backed by Priorities USA, a super PAC that has spent $34 million dollars in recent years on election-related litigation to support Democrats and their presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden.
Perhaps most significantly, the rulings extended the dates by which absentee ballots may be sent and received, giving breathing room to Democratic voters who are more likely than Republicans to vote by mail during the coronavirus pandemic, according to recent polling.
The decisions also eased restrictions on other Democratic-preferred voting features such as expanded use of drop boxes in Pennsylvania, an issue which has become a legal flashpoints amid a push for greater alternatives to in-person voting.
“This week definitely expanded access to the ballot in ways that benefit voters across these two states,” said Aneesa McMillan, who directs the voting rights program at Priorities USA. McMillan added that the rulings would help ensure “that everyone who is eligible to vote is allowed to do so without unnecessary barriers.” - The GOP rag that is The Hill
