The Supreme Court Hands Trump A Big Loss In Pennsylvania

The Supreme Court Hands Trump A Big Loss In Pennsylvania
SHARE

In a Friday night order, the Supreme Court allowed a state Supreme Court ruling related to the primary election that allows people with errors on their ballot envelopes to cast provisional ballots to stand. Justice Alito wrote the order, denying the application for a stay.

The case revolves around a decision by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania that interpreted the Pennsylvania Election Code in a controversial manner. The ruling stated that a provisional ballot must be counted even if the voter had previously submitted an invalid mail-in ballot within the required time frame. The applicants argued that this interpretation goes against the plain meaning of the state election code and violates federal constitutional clauses.

The dispute stems from Pennsylvania’s rules for mail-in voting, which Republicans insisted on to include requirements such as signed and dated envelopes and ballots placed in inner security envelopes. If a ballot is invalidated due to a date or signature error, the voter is notified, and in most counties, they are allowed to cast a provisional ballot, which is counted in the election total.

Former President Trump and the Republican National Committee have been challenging the validity of provisional ballots and seeking to discard them. However, the Supreme Court sided with Democrats and upheld the state Supreme Court’s decision to allow voters to cast provisional votes that count.

Pennsylvania is a battleground state where elections are often close, making every vote crucial. Trump’s efforts to disenfranchise potentially tens of thousands of voters have failed with this ruling, marking a victory for democracy in Pennsylvania.

The Supreme Court’s decision is a setback for Trump and a win for the democratic process in the state. It ensures that voters with minor errors on their ballot envelopes can still have their voices heard through provisional ballots. This ruling upholds the integrity of the electoral system and ensures that every vote counts in Pennsylvania.
