I was under the impression that was because the PA law was challenged on discrimination/disenfranchisement grounds which falls under the Voting Rights Act. I want to say certain states do have to get pre-approval before any voting changes under the VRA due to a history of voter discrimination, but I'm pretty sure PA isn't one of them.
Not aware of any blanket deadline on changing voting processes, do you know which law that's in?
- sageikosa 14y agoThere is some stuff in Title 42 Chapter 20 Subchapter I-A section 1973c about alterations that might restrict, but these changes in NJ probably would be construed as extending or preserving the franchise. My knowledge on the matter is a bit fuzzy and goes back to 2000 with Florida's electors. Title 3 Section 5 seems to cover this, but only lists 6 days before appointment of electors, and 6 days before meeting of electors; and only when controversy arises. A bit too dense with commas, prepositional phrases and conjunctions for me to decipher. I find D&D easier to understand than US election law.
