Pennsylvania Lawsuits Clash Over Counting Undated Ballots
“Several election lawsuits in Pennsylvania continue to argue over whether to count undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots.
The disagreement lives on a week after the State Supreme Court ordered county boards of elections to refrain from counting any undated or incorrectly date absentee and mail-in ballots received for the Nov. 8 general election.
In its split decision, the court directed counties to segregate and preserve these ballots.
In Pennsylvania, voters must sign and date the outer envelope of their mail-in ballot for it to count.
John Fetterman’s campaign, joined by the Democrat House and Senate campaign entities, asked a federal court to order counties to count all mail-in ballots, no matter the markings or lack of markings on the envelope.
Fetterman is in a tight U.S. Senate race with Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Monroe County Case
Some counties have simply set ballots aside as the court order says.”
