Federal Court Rules Pennsylvania Mail Ballots without a handwritten date on the outer envelope must be counted

Federal Court Rules Pennsylvania Mail Ballots without a handwritten date on the outer envelope must be counted

Disqualifying those ballots is a violation of the federal Civil Rights Act--the court found.

The ruling is in response to a lawsuit filed in November 2022 by six voting rights advocacy organizations, later joined by five individual voters. The organizations and voters are represented by legal counsel from the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, ACLU National, and the law firm Hogan Lovells.
