The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday reversed a lower court ruling and found that mail-in ballots with incorrect dates or without any dates on the exterior of the envelope cannot be counted, a huge win for election integrity advocates.
In a 4-3 decision, the state’s high court ruled on procedural grounds, stating that the lower court, which deemed the mandate unenforceable, should not have heard the case because it did not involve election boards from all 67 counties, The Associated Press reported. In Pennsylvania, counties handle the administration of elections, but the left-leaning groups that filed the case had only sued two counties—Philadelphia and Allegheny.
