Federal judge dismisses Pa. GOP legislators' election-related lawsuit against Shapiro and Biden
Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
HARRISBURG — A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by 27 Republican state lawmakers against President Joe Biden, Gov. Josh Shapiro and other officials that claimed they usurped the Legislature’s authority to run elections by methods that included Mr. Shapiro’s September announcement of automatic voter registration.
In a memorandum, U.S. District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson said the the court did not have jurisdiction on the topic because the lawmakers did not have the standing to raise the claims at the heart of the case. Judge Wilson said the injuries the group of Republicans allege are “suffered equally by each Pennsylvania legislator” and that the group “have not alleged any individualized and particularized harm.”
In a statement, Mr. Shapiro said: “In 2020, I defeated Donald Trump and his conspiracy theorist allies in court more than 40 times to defend Pennsylvanians’ votes and protect access to the ballot box. Today, we’ve done it again by getting their frivolous effort to stop automatic voter registration in our Commonwealth dismissed. Automatic voter registration is safe, secure, efficient, and entirely within my administration’s authority.”
The plaintiffs were led by state Rep. Dawn Keefer, R-York, and a candidate for state Senate. Many are members of the conservative Pennsylvania Freedom Caucus, of which Ms. Keefer is a leader.
