A federal judge has ruled in favor of enforcing a mail-in voting deadline in Pennsylvania.
The court ruled that Pennsylvania’s requirement for accurate handwritten dates on the outer envelopes of mail-in ballots is OK.
A panel of federal judges ruled Wednesday upholding Pennsylvania’s mandatory dates on mail-in voting.
A divided 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is permissible for Pennsylvania to require correct handwritten dates on the outer envelope of mail-in ballots, ruling in favor of voting rights advocates. It argued to overturn a lower court’s ruling and toss in ballots with the wrong date. It is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The NAACP v. Schmidt decision resulted in the return of a technical order that caused thousands of votes to be declared invalid in the 2022 election. According to the state, many voters wrote their date of birth on the envelope when they should have written the date they filled out their ballot before Election Day.
Although the total number of discarded votes represents only a fraction of the large state’s eligible electorate, the court’s decision adds another layer to Pennsylvania’s election process ahead of the battleground state’s April 23 primary. It will attract attention.
The RNC called it “a decisive victory for election integrity and voter confidence in the Keystone State and across the nation.”
Following news that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ruled in favor of the RNC-led election integrity lawsuit regarding signature verification of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley issues the following statement: did.
“This is a critical victory for election integrity and voter confidence in the Keystone State and across the nation. Pennsylvanians deserve to have confidence in the security of voting by mail, and this Third Circuit ruling Trump is flatly rejecting illegal left-wing attempts to count undated or incorrectly dated mail-in ballots. Republicans are fighting for election integrity in courts across the country ahead of the 2024 election. , will continue to win.”
background:
In November 2022, the RNC, NRCC, and PAGOP won a victory on this issue in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. A federal district court subsequently revoked his dated signature requirement in November 2023. We appealed, and now the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit agrees with her RNC argument.
This was a 2-1 ruling by three judges appointed by the Democratic Party. The ruling has far-reaching implications for left-wing attempts across the country to weaponize key provisions of the Civil Rights Act and represents a victory for mail-in voting protections in key battleground states.
The RNC has handled 81 election fraud lawsuits this term alone, with more on the way.
