For Recount, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Reaffirms Mail-In Ballots Must Be Dated to Be Counted
The Daily Signal ^ | November 18, 2024 | Fred Lucas

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court again ruled that mail-in ballots must be properly dated to be counted, a boost for Republican Dave McCormick in a recount battle against Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who is struggling to hold onto his Senate seat.

“Following our latest RNC [Republican National Committee] lawsuit, today, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled yet again that undated ballots CANNOT BE COUNTED,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley posted on X Monday afternoon.

“No more excuses. Election officials in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and other counties have absolutely no choice but to reject illegal ballots. We will hold them to it,” Whatley continued.

Nearly every news organization has projected that McCormick won the tight race. The current vote tally shows McCormick with 3,380,310 votes, or 48.93% of the total, to Casey’s 3,350,972 votes, or 48.5%. The deadline for the recount is just before Thanksgiving.

On Nov. 1, the state’s high court determined that mail-in ballots must be properly dated to count in the Nov. 5 election. The law requires that when a voter returns his ballot by mail, he must sign and date the envelope. However, Democratic officials in some counties have sought to count undated or incorrectly dated ballots.

“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country, and people violate laws anytime they want,” said Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia on Thursday. “For me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.”

The state’s Supreme Court paid attention to it and on Monday, ruled that all 67 county boards of elections in the state must comply with its Nov. 1 ruling.

So, have the Rats already successfully mixed the bogus ballots in with the good ones yet?

I called the Bucks County dingbat yesterday, but nobody picked up. I guess they’re getting tired of being called out for cheating.

To be fair, I called at 11:30 am Central Time. Might have been their lunch hour in PA. But doesn’t somebody usually answer the phone during that time while they’re out? I didn’t even get an opportunity to leave a voicemail.

While the court ruled against undated ballots I believe I saw the court vote was 4-3 meaning this can be changed in favor of the Rats.

Right? She’s clearly in contempt of court. She should be arrested and fined. Toothless courts are a sign of permissive weak on crime Democrats. Shapiro should act to defend the courts as well.

That was my very first thought when this process kicked off.

In a well run “count” (which this is NOT) these would have been held separately while they were adjudicated. Common sense, right?

Yeah, right. I know. Common sense and Leftist politics are like oil and water...

If they mixed in the bogus ballots, I would think the court would rule that a legal recount is no longer possible so the original count will stand.

They’re stealing it. Murky is perfectly fine with it, too, IMO.

Murkycis there because of RCV.

Just like Collins in Maine.

And it’s hard to have those handy, dandy RCV-enabled electronic voting machines without RCV.

BTW, why do states that don’t have RCV use RCV-enabled electronic voting machines...? 🤔

Why don’t the commierats go ahead and take all of the ballots to the county jail and count them there with no oversight allowed? OH! And shoot a black fella in the back while they’re at it.
