CONCURRING AND DISSENTING STATEMENT
CHIEF JUSTICE SAYLOR DECIDED: September 17, 2020
I would not dismiss the Petitioner’s request for extension of the deadline for receipt
of mail-in ballots as moot. Instead, I would have employed this case as the vehicle to
decide that issue on the evidentiary record developed before President Judge Leavitt in
accordance with this Court’s assignment, and I would have resolved the matter based on
the rationale set forth by Justice Donohue in her concurring and dissenting opinion in
Pennsylvania Democratic Party v. Boockvar, 133 MM 2020.
In all other respects, I join the per curiam Order.
Justices Donohue and Mundy join this concurring and dissenting statement.
