One aspect of voting susceptible to fraud is voting by mail, which is increasingly prevalent because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Daily Wire is reporting on a critical State Supreme Court decision that just took place in Pennsylvania concerning the handling of mail-in ballots.

“In a per curiam decision Tuesday, the court ruled that county boards of elections in Pennsylvania must segregate mail-in ballots that are not dated on the outer envelope, or have an incorrect date, and not include them in the final vote tally. The state supreme court ruling followed a decision by the acting secretary of state to include the undated ballots in the final count ahead of the 2022 midterms.”

The controversy started when the Democratic Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania made a controversial decision regarding counting updated and improperly dated ballots, according to the Federalist.
“This decision directly contradicts the Keystone State’s Democrat acting secretary of the commonwealth, Leigh Chapman, who told counties to ignore a previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively said undated mail-in ballots should not be counted.”

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and Pennsylvania Republicans immediately filed suit.
“The RNC and the state GOP argued that Chapman’s directive violated state law, as Pennsylvania requires voters to properly date their ballots. In fact, mail-in ballots for this election cycle even contain wording that reads “today’s date required” and clear instructions for voters to ‘sign and date’ their ballots. Under Chapman’s instructions, some of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties would have followed her lead while others would have followed state law and clear ballot instructions, tainting the election with inconsistencies and chaos. The RNC asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court at least to order counties to segregate undated or incorrectly dated ballots.”

The State Court ruling came after the case went through the federal courts.
“The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in May of this year that undated mail ballots must be counted. The court found that a date on the outside of the ballot envelope has no bearing on a voter’s eligibility, and throwing out those ballots would violate the voters’ civil rights, Fox News reported. But the United States Supreme Court threw that ruling in October, and ordered the lower court to dismiss the case as moot, requiring Pennsylvania to return to established mail-in voting laws.”

Republicans hailed the ruling as a victory for election integrity. Nevertheless, Secretary of the Commonwealth Chapman warned that delays in counting the votes would happen on election day, though she claimed that “nothing nefarious” would occur as a result.
