BREAKING: The RNC just filed an emergency motion to the U.S. Supreme Court asking them to overturn a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that UNLAWFULLY allows defective mail-in ballots to be counted
"This case is of paramount public importance, potentially affecting tens of thousands of votes in a State which many anticipate could be decisive in control of the U.S. Senate or even the 2024 Presidential Election."
The PA Supreme Court recently created a rule out of thin air, subverting state law to allow erroneous mail-in ballots to be counted via provisional voting. Their ruling, in my opinion, clearly violated Article 1 Section 4 Clause 1 of the Constitution, which enumerates election oversight to state legislatures.
Pennsylvania law specifies that “A provisional ballot shall not be counted if the elector’s [mail] ballot is timely received by a county board of elections.” The law does NOT direct election officials to give provisional ballots for mail-in ballots that arrive with a lack of signature, date, or secrecy envelope. Simply put, if a ballot shows up without following the rules, it CANNOT be counted AT ALL.
The RNC wants SCOTUS to issue a pause against the PA court's ruling or to issue an order "ordering that any provisional ballot cast by an individual whose mail ballot was timely received but defective (i) be segregated, and kept separate, from all other ballots and (ii) if counted, be counted separately and not included in the official vote tally."
The Supreme Court has been derelict in dealing with major election integrity questions. It's time for them to WAKE UP and act for once. Only Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, & Alito have shown consistent interest.
