So if a voting method is Unconstitutional, what does that mean for votes cast in that way during the last (and any preceding) election?

Racist? I'm confused bc homeland security already said the last election was the most secure election in US history.

this decision has nothing to do with security. It's about not following the letter of how the PA state constitution is written wrt how voting regs are enacted.

Nothing. Just like when the past various racially repressive rules (e.g. Poll Tax) were deemed unconstitutional, they didn't change the past.

Its gonna impact their upcoming primaries that are in only 3 months though.

I didn't miss it, I just couldn't help saying something. My character flaw.

Honestly it was a little of both. If you commit a crime in the past, you can be punished for it. I also know that nothing will happen.

But if you are convicted based on unconstitutional processes (that are recognized as such) the conviction is overturned.

Also, all crimes are committed in the past you dipshit

I'm pretty sure you completely missed my point. Again. You dipshit

And you, mine. Note the irony.

We'll just revel in our mutual dipshittedness and carry on.

To further elaborate, if you committed a crime based on an unconstitutional law, and the law was ruled unconstitutional, your conviction is overturned. Therefore if you committed an <election>, and the way the <election> was held was unconstitutional, would the <election> be overturned?

You'd think so, but history says no. That was my point.

Which was my original point. Whatever. I'm not even mad. This is fun.
