This is a big win for Republicans, and a crying moment for Democrats, making it harder for them to cheat
Pennsylvania court says undated ballots won’t be counted as RNC claims ‘massive’ legal victory
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court banned the counting of undated or misdated absentee ballots in the upcoming midterm election.
In an order issued Tuesday, the court told the Pennsylvania county boards of elections “to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the November 8, 2022 general election that are contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes.”
The court said it was “evenly divided” on the issue of whether failing to count the undated ballots is a constitutional violation, and so ordered that all the misdated or undated ballots be segregated and preserved by the county boards of elections.
Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman for the RNC, reacted to the court order in a Tuesday evening tweet, claiming a “massive” legal victory. “The PA Supreme Court agrees with us that incorrectly or undated mail ballots can not be counted in next week’s elections,” McDaniel tweeted. “Republicans went to court. Now Democrats have to follow the law.”
Well, we can still guarantee that Democrats will still try and count them, and pull other shenanigans, starting with the Pa. Democratic acting secretary of state, Leigh Chapman, who ignored the Supreme Court and the duly elected Pa. General Assembly in telling counties to count the improper mail-in ballots.
