| PA Supreme Court Rules Undated Mail Ballots Can't Be Counted |
| 2022-11-03 |
| [Townhall] The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with an argument made by Republicans in their lawsuit seeking to prevent the counting of improperly completed ballots in next week's general election, throwing out a lower court's ruling that would have allowed PA election officials to count absentee and mail-in ballots that were not correctly dated and signed. PA's Supreme Court justices vacated the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that would have allowed the counting of ballots that were not completed as the Keystone State election laws require, and ruled that the "Pennsylvania county boards of elections are hereby ordered 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 PA Supreme Court also in its ruling directed "the Pennsylvania county boards of elections segregate and preserve any ballots contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes" and noted that the "Court is evenly divided on the issue of whether failing to count such ballots violates 52 U.S.C. §10101(a)(2)(B)." RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel celebrated the win in Pennsylvania as "massive" for "election integrity."

| #7 Silentbrick nails it. A functioning democracy cannot tolerate shenanigans because when cheaters get into elective office they are incompetent and destructive. |

| #4 Pennsylvanians should surround the county board of elections and not allow anyone in once the ballots are submitted. |

| #3 Anything involving voter fraud should carry the death penalty. Any official claiming they won't follow the rules or actively breaking them during an election should be summarily shot. Showing up after polls close with a 'box' of ballots 'found or forgotten' should result in the driver being shot and the car burned. Voter fraud is TREASON and should be treated as such. |

| #1 I suspect that this ruling will be ignored in several counties, this will go back to the SCOTUS which will affirm their previous ruling and the court wins will impact the vote in counties that weren’t cheating to begin with. |
