The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday rebuked Democratic-controlled elections boards that counted undated and misdated mail ballots, siding with Republicans and reiterating that such votes are invalid.
Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks counties voted to count hundreds of such ballots in recent days despite previous rulings from the court that they cannot be included in this election.
“It is critical to the rule of law that individual counties and municipalities and their elected and appointed officials, like any other parties, obey orders of this Court,” Justice David Wecht wrote, joined by Justice Sallie Updyke Mundy, in a terse concurring opinion.
The ballots’ relevance has particularly come into focus as Pennsylvania’s Senate race heads to an automatic recount. Republican David McCormick leads by just fewer than 20,000 votes, and Decision Desk HQ, The Hill’s election data partner, named him as the winner last week, but incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D) has not yet conceded.
In a 4-3 vote, the state’s top court granted Republicans’ request to use the court’s rare King’s Bench authority and immediately intervene to exclude misdated and undated ballots from the count. Casey’s campaign intervened to oppose the effort.

What’s a rebuke other than nothin’?
An honest court ? And in PA??
Wunderbar!
only 4 to 3?!!!?
Marc Elias, Mastermind of vote theft. If the reinvigorated Justice Department can’t nail him I’m sure the Devil has a special place for him.
A rebuke seems like a “stern letter”.
>> only 4 to 3?!!!?
exactly
This one is particularly strongly worded. It lacerates the mind reading it.
🎶Cheatercrats! Cheatercrats! They’re alla buncha Cheatercrats!🎶 PA
Rebuke?
How about send out law enforcement and arrest those involved for breaking federal law (failure to properly tabulate votes in a federal election = one 5-year felony PER OFFENSE)?
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Bucks County said today they will comply with the ruling. Don’t know about the other counties.
Pennsylvanians elected a non-nonsense Republican at Attorney General.
There will be a new Sheriff in less than 50 days.
Once they are taken from their envelopes and mixed up with the regular ballots I don’t think they can be told apart any more, so there won’t be a way to remedy the violation. Could this be exactly what Marc Elias wants? They can’t be separated, courts then have to say “too bad, so sad” if there is no state law requiring a complete do over. Act first ask permission later, etc.
Cite Them for contempt of court, And throws them in jail.
Otherwise they are going to keep counting until the Democrat wins
They are "unburdened by what has been".
“”siding with Republicans?????““
Siding with all that is good and right. Siding with the frackin law!!!!
Dems must think they have the recount in the bag without the ballots that are illegal in this way rather than by all the other ways they cheat on recounts. Glen Beck used to say, “if they’re holding something up in the right hand and saying ‘look here,’ you better find out what’s going on in the left hand.”
Lock them (Dem election officials) up.
