Pennsylvania Mail Ballot Controversy Intensifies Amid Court Rulings
TL;DR Summary
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that mail-in ballots lacking a handwritten date on the envelope should not be counted in this year's general election, following a request from the Republican National Committee and the state's Republican Party. This decision comes amid ongoing legal disputes over the state's mail-in voting rules, which have been contentious since Pennsylvania allowed no-excuse mail voting in 2020. The ruling affects counties that had included undated ballots in their counts, and follows a close U.S. Senate race where Republican David McCormick leads.
