INTERESTING PA COURT RULING

by Bob Walsh


Vote by Mail


On Wednesday the PA Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots MUST be dated and the date must be "correct" or they can not be counted.  I am unsure what CORRECT means in this situation.  I would GUESS that means the date must be in the mail-in window as the date it was actually mailed could be after the date the envelope was signed and sealed.  There could, however, but an issue with post marks being BEFORE the date the envelope was signed.  That would clearly be an issue.

I admit this surprises me somewhat as courts are normally loath to mess with this stuff.  The fact of the matter is that real, legitimate voters sometimes do dumb stuff with legit ballots.
