A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of President Donald Trump’s campaign on Nov. 12, saying Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar overstepped her authority to change an election deadline two days before Election Day.
“The Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline ... for certain electors to verify proof of identification,” Commonwealth Court Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt wrote in her order (pdf) on Nov. 12.
