Ctr. Coalfield Justice v. Wash., Apl. Of: Rnc/rpp

Summary

Justice Mundy, joining Justice Brobson, dissents from the majority’s order that counties must rely on the SURE System’s automatic email notifications to inform voters of defective mail‑in ballots. He argues that the email‑only notice scheme creates unequal access because many voters lack email addresses or reliable internet, violating the Pennsylvania Constitution’s Free and Equal Elections Clause and due‑process guarantees. The dissent also contends that setting such notice policy is a legislative function that the courts should not assume. The majority’s decision is therefore affirmed despite the dissent’s objections.
