BREAKING: A Pennsylvania court just issued a MASSIVE ruling declaring that the digital images of completed absentee and mail-in ballots are PUBLIC RECORD
This means that after the November election, voters and candidates can obtain the original images for inspection
"In light of the foregoing analysis, we conclude that images of completed absentee and mail-in ballots are public records that can be obtained through an RTKL request, and consequently reverse Common Pleas’ June 28, 2023 order in part, to the extent that the lower tribunal ruled to the contrary." - Judge Ellen Ceisler
This will go a very long way to stop fictitious ballots from being inserted into the count. It forces election officials to keep a strict chain of custody for all ballots because if something doesn't add up, the ballot images will expose the truth
This is a fantastic ruling, and I thank patriot Michelle Previte for bringing the case. She filed the lawsuit because her Right-to-Know request to the Erie County Board of Elections for 2020 election records was DENIED. This ruling is big-time vindication and a slap in the face to every election fraud doer and denier.
What I love about this ruling is that it seems like the Appellate judges really took their time to understand the issue at hand
Section 308 of Pennsylvania's election code says everything is public record "except the contents of ballot boxes and voting machines and records of assisted voters,”
The lower court used some twisted logic to say the ballot images were somehow "contents of voting machines and, thus, were shielded from RTKL requests."
Yes, images of the ballots are taken by the machine but they're not part of the machine. The pictures you take with your phone aren't part of your phone, that's nonsensical to think but these are the lengths some judges and election officials are willing to go to conceal the truth
