Judge spikes Pennsylvania MAGA lawsuit against overseas voters

A Pennsylvania MAGA federal judge on Tuesday tossed a lawsuit filed by Keystone MAGA Congressmen Guy Reschenthaler, Dan Meuser, Glenn Thompson, Lloyd Smucker, and Mike Kelly against Secretary of State Al Schmidt in which Schmucker, Thirdreichsenthaler, Meuloser, and the others sought to completely fuck over military members and other Pennsylvanians currently overseas out of voting via additional hurdles to “ensure legal compliance with federal and state law regarding the verification of voter registration applicants’ identity and eligibility before accepting and counting ballots,” under UOCAVA changes made two years ago that Trump freaked out over.

The ruling’s just another textbook example of MAGA bullshit failing to survive first contact with actual legal scrutiny. From the order by District Judge Chris Conner:

When asked at oral argument why plaintiffs delayed bringing the instant challenge for more than two years after the State Department promulgated its guidance, plaintiffs’ counsel initially responded that the United States Department of Justice had recently unsealed a three-year-old indictment of several Iranians for election interference. Plaintiffs found that indictment, which was unsealed on September 27, 2024, to be “very concerning” given “the past history of the Iranians having knowledge of how to exploit the UOCAVA voting system, the FPCA… [and] the federal write-in absentee ballots.” (asserting that “Iranian nationals… demonstrated that bad actors could easily create and submit falsified FPCAs” to interfere with Pennsylvania’s federal elections). But that charging documentreveals no vulnerabilities on the Commonwealth’s part. Indeed, the indictment plainly states that a video “purport[ing] to depict an individual hacking into state voter websites and then using that illicitly obtained voter information to create fraudulent [military-overseas] absentee ballots” was a “simulated intrusion” that did not involve a bona fide state or federal website, adding that the Federal Voting Assistance Program “could not be leveraged in the manner implied by” the video. Pressed for anything that might corroborate whether “there’s been some Iranian influence over Pennsylvania’s overseas ballots,” counsel effectively conceded that all he had was “concerns.” Plaintiffs cannot rely on phantom fears of foreign malfeasance to excuse their lack of diligence

It should’ve been obvious which way this was going when Meuser couldn’t even justify it on CNN.
