3rd Circuit Rules PA Mail-In Ballot Date Rejection Unconstitutional, Sparking Election Integrity Debate

The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Pennsylvania’s rejection of mail-in ballots for missing or incorrect envelope dates violates the state constitution, handing a victory to the Democratic establishment and their allies. This decision effectively greenlights potential vulnerabilities in election integrity, dismissing a straightforward rule as an undue burden. While barcodes already ensure timeliness, the court’s logic prioritizes unchecked ballots over procedural clarity. The Republican Party decries this as judicial activism, paving the way for further Uniparty overreach. An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court looms.
