Delaware Supreme Court strikes down early, mail-in voting expansion

DELAWARE –  The Delaware Supreme Court has ruled the state’s expansion of early, absentee, and mail-in voting is unconstitutional.

In a statement following the ruling Delaware Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester said:

“Yesterday’s Delaware Superior Court decision is another reminder of where we are at this moment — no matter where you live in our country, Republican extremists will stop at nothing to attack our access to the ballot box. 

“Trapped in the balcony overlooking the House floor when insurrectionists attacked our Capitol on Jan. 6., I saw firsthand how fragile our democracy is — and how one man’s obsession with power almost overturned the will of the American people. Make no mistake, there is a throughline from yesterday’s ruling and that dark day for our nation: a toxic blend of politics that seeks to subvert our elections.

“Today is an urgent reminder that we need federal voting rights protections. Free, fair, and more accessible elections make a stronger democracy. I will stop at nothing to protect it. It’s fundamental to who we are as Americans.”
