This is THE lawsuit to watch.....involves election officials in PA suburb Montgomery Cty personally contacting mail-in
voters which arrived w/ defective ballots to give them a chance to fix or “cure” the problem, like a missing signature..............
apparently in violation of state law.......

BACKSTORY A local Republican candidate sued to (A) stop the practice and (B) for the ballots not to be counted,
both on the state law claim, and,

(C) because, (drum roll please) citing Bush v. Gore, in the FLA mess, it’s a "federal equal protection violation" for some voters to be
notified about curing their ballots while not notifying others.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs, likened the case to the 2000 election, when the USSC in Bush v. Gore settled a dispute
over vote-counting in Florida, enabling Republican George W. Bush to capture the White House.

“It is creating the same situation that Florida created in 2000,” with “all of these different counties treating
ballots in non-uniform manners,” he added. “There’s a solid argument that you’re voting twice.”

====================================

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE: The USSC ruled in the Bush/Gore fiasco that it was a violation of the “one man, one vote”
to only partially count and SINCE they couldn't count the whole state of Florida, Gore's partial recount was invalid.
The USSC ordered the count to be stopped.

The decision seemed more like the USSC's acknowledgement of Democrats' proclivities
to count, recount, then count again, till they had the necessary votes to win.

BTW, when the USSC stepped in ......it was due to brilliant legal moves by Bush's lawyer, former Secy of State James Baker.

In his book about losing the election, Gore related that whenever his lawyers got to court,
Bush's lawyers had already been there.....always a a step ahead of them.

Let me guess, only those voting “D” were invited to correct their ballots while “R” ballots that had a problem were simply tossed.

I had a dem poll watcher with me here in FL. She bragged about attempting cures on ballots for both parties. That was of a load of crap and I wondered why she was making a point of it. Now I understand that.

That's exactly right. When the judge asked why his ballot should be disqualified just because he didn't have an opportunity to correct it, the answer should have been: "Because the measures taken to fix or cure the defects in your ballot are illegal under state law, and there are 66 other counties in this state where the voters DIDN'T get a chance to fix or cure the defects in their ballots because the election officials obeyed the law and didn't contact them."
