Election integrity scored a significant win in Pennsylvania in mid-September when the commonwealth’s Supreme Court ruled that misdated mail-in ballots should not be counted.
In the wake of the November 5th election, however, some elections officials in Pennsylvania, apparently not content with the outcome of the election (and in particular, the Senate race which saw Republican Dave McCormick narrowly defeating incumbent Democrat Bob Casey), determined that they needn’t follow the Supreme Court’s edict and would continue counting misdated ballots anyway.
Lest there remain any confusion on the part of said officials as to whether or not such continued counting is legal, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court weighed in again on Monday to make it clear that no, absolutely not, are misdated mail-in or absentee ballots to be counted.
