Court rules that Pennsylvania mail-in ballots with flawed dates can be thrown out

CHANGES AND WHAT VOTERS CAN EXPECT WITH THIS. YEAH. SO A LOT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW. SO THIS NEW RULING FROM THE STATE'S HIGH COURT BASICALLY MEANS UNDATED OR MISDATED BALLOTS SENT INTO ELECTION OFFICES WILL NOT COUNT FOR NOW. SO IN A 4 TO 3 RULING, THE SUPREME COURT PUSHED BACK ON A RECENT COMMONWEALTH COURT DECISION REQUIRING THE STATE TO COUNT BALLOTS WITH MISSING OR INCORRECT DATES ON THE OUTER ENVELOPES. THE REASON? WELL, ESSENTIALLY, THE PREVIOUS RULING LACKED THE NECESSARY JURISDICTION BECAUSE THE PLAINTIFFS DID NOT NAME ALL 67 COUNTIES IN THE COMMONWEALTH AS DEFENDANTS IN THE ORIGINAL LAWSUIT. SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WELL, THE COURTT IS SIGNALING THAT THEY COULD TAKE THE ISSUE UP THEMSELVES IF IT'S BROUGHT BACK UP. THE DISSENTING JUSTICES, WHICH INCLUDED THE CHIEF, SAID IN THE RULING, QUOTE, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN, A PROMPT AND DEFINITIVE RULING ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION PRESENTED IN THIS APPEAL IS OF PARAMOUNT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE, INASMUCH AS THAT IT WILL AFFECT THE COUNTING OF BALLOTS IN THE UPCOMING GENERAL ELECTION.
