Daily News | The Supreme Court just undid a key ruling for counting undated Pennsylvania mail ballots
, injecting new uncertainty into an issue that could affect thousands of votes in next month’s elections.a consistent political and legal fight
Because the appeals court decision had upended the legal landscape — paving the way for undated mail ballots to be counted across the state for this first time in this year’s primary election — Republicans have seen that ruling as a barrier to their argument. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has undone that ruling, Republicans are likely to go to court to again challenge the practice of counting undated Pennsylvania mail ballots.
Adam Bonin, a Democratic lawyer in the Lehigh County case at issue, said the Supreme Court’s decision was “disappointing,” but he emphasized that state courts have recently relied on state law to rule in favor of counting undated mail ballots. That means undated ballots should still be counted this November, he argued.
