Delaware Republicans Celebrate Court Ruling: Vote-by-Mail Unconstitutional

The Epoch Times Header

DEWEY BEACH, Del.โ€”โ€œThere will be no vote-by-mail on November 8! There will be no same-day voter registration!โ€ said M. Jane Brady, the chair of the Delaware Republican Party on Friday. Brady was overjoyed on sharing the news about a ruling by the Delaware Supreme Court with some 100 people who had gathered at the Rusty Rudder restaurant for a Freedom Festival Banquet.

Earlier that day, the court had stated in its ruling that both Delawareโ€™s vote-by-mail and same-day registration statutes violate the stateโ€™s Constitution.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, Delaware Governor John Carney, Democratic Party, declared a public health emergency, and the General Assembly passed laws to allow people to vote by mail.

โ€œWe are working hard to protect the integrity of our elections in Delaware,โ€ said Brady. โ€œThe way theyโ€™ve been for a very long time, thatโ€™s trying to be undermined and undone, and I wonโ€™t let it happen on my watch.โ€

Brady is a former Delaware attorney general and a former Delaware Superior Court judge.

โ€œThe Supreme Court ruled that vote-by-mail statutes that were passed in June and signed by the governor in July are unconstitutional under Delawareโ€™s Constitution,โ€ Brady told an Epoch Times reporter during the banquet.

Brady said that Delaware had not permitted universal vote-by-mail before June, but allows absentee ballots. If someone is unable to go to oneโ€™s designated polling station due to military service, illness, injury, or travel, the person can request an absentee ballot.

โ€œBut they canโ€™t just for no reason not show up to vote and ask for a ballot to be sent to them,โ€ said Brady.

Brady expressed admiration for Delawareโ€™s top court.

โ€œIโ€™m very happy we have a great court. Our courts are like the federal courts. If youโ€™re once appointed, you cannot be involved in partisan political activity. We donโ€™t elect our judges,โ€ she said. โ€œTheyโ€™re much more true to the law than in some states where they have to answer politically for their job.โ€
