Fetterman campaign sues Pennsylvania to count undated, misdated ballots

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman’s campaign is suing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to count undated and misdated absentee ballots.

The campaign asked a federal judge on Monday to require that election officials count the erroneous or incomplete ballots in the election after the state Supreme Court ruled that the commonwealth could not count such ballots last week.

The Democratic House and Senate campaign arms also joined the suit, which was filed in Pittsburgh, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“The date [requirement] imposes unnecessary hurdles that eligible Pennsylvanians must clear to exercise their most fundamental right, resulting in otherwise valid votes being arbitrarily rejected without any reciprocal benefit to the Commonwealth,” the complaint reads.

Democrats disproportionately use mail-in ballots and thousands, if not more, will likely have disqualifying dating errors under state law. In turn, this could spell the loss of a considerable amount of net votes for Fetterman in the hotly contested Senate race.
