Pennsylvania Election Lawsuit Surge Shows Why It’s a Top Prize

Live Mint  

Pennsylvania is emerging as the jackpot in the hotly contested presidential race, drawing both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in frenzied campaigning on the eve of the election, along with a surge in legal cases from both sides. Republicans appealed after Pennsylvania’s highest court ruled the state must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots are disqualified for failing to include an inner envelope around the ballot for secrecy — commonly referred to as “naked” ballots. Pennsylvania was also the focus of election litigation in 2020, when conservative US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito ordered late-arriving mail ballots set aside amid a fight over whether those votes would count. Missing Dates The Pennsylvania Supreme Court late last week sided with Republicans in a suit over missing dates on mail-in ballots that are otherwise valid, blocking them from being counted in the 2024 election. On Friday, a state court judge ordered the county to extend its deadline and send those voters ballots overnight with prepaid express return by Nov. 8 – three days after Election Day.
