But the whole issue that brought the case - the 2020 elections - is now “moot” - the cat is already out of the bag.
The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot.
Yes, it can help in elections going forward but it also cannot be used to dispute a 2020 election - in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware - that’s moot now.
I’m reading that this ruling will NOT apply to the next election. Any case must stand on its own merits...if it gets to the courts.
Read the very first line of the article. We are talking about future elections now.:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday vacated an appeals court decision that required Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots even if there is no date on the envelope.
> “Ritter lost his 2021 bid to serve on the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas after 257 mail-in ballots that didn’t have dates were counted.”
Dems cheated in 2020 and are now allowed to benefit from their cheat, because “moot” ..... but will need to cheat differently next time.
Easy, vote people on voting rolls who haven’t voted in years and may be expired. Just be sure date is on mail-in and you’re good to go.
