Democracy update! Pennsylvania court rules that wrongly dated and undated mail-in ballots can be counted
· Aug 31, 2024 · NottheBee.com

Welp, I think I'd hold off coloring Pennsylvania in red for now.

A Pennsylvania court just ruled that undated absentee and mail-in ballots, and ballots with the wrong dates, will be counted this November.

A state court Friday halted enforcement of a requirement that voters include accurate, handwritten dates on envelopes used to submit mail-in ballots, a ruling likely to keep several thousand Pennsylvania votes from being thrown out in the November election.

In a decision handed down as the state is being hotly contested in the presidential contest, Commonwealth Court ruled 4-1 that disqualifying voters who failed to include the date violates the state constitution's clause that addresses "free and equal" elections.

Common sense would dictate that ballots with mistakes on them, ballots incorrectly filed, and ballots that just seem sketchy should be tossed.

But Pennsylvania's Democracy™ means that ALL ballots be counted. Even if they don't meet legal criteria.

You know, because Democracy™ is so sacred.

Or ...

'The refusal to count undated or incorrectly dated but timely mail ballots submitted by otherwise eligible voters because of meaningless and inconsequential paperwork errors violates the fundamental right to vote' in the Pennsylvania Constitution, wrote Judge Ellen Ceisler in the majority opinion, siding with the left-leaning groups that sued three months ago.

Umm, so, once again Pennsylvania is arbitrarily suspending the rules around the election because reasons. Just like 2020.

Translation: "We're going to count every single ballot from Sketch-ville Pennsylvania (aka Philadelphia and surrounding) until Kamala has enough votes to win. And there's nothing you can do to stop us."

Or maybe we're just being paranoid and the lefty orgs that sued out of the kindness of their hearts ...
