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.
