A federal judge in Pennsylvania recently presided over a hearing where he posed challenging questions to the attorney representing several Republican members of Congress who have filed a lawsuit regarding the vetting process for overseas ballots in the state. While a decision was not reached during the hearing, the judge's inquiries indicated a level of skepticism towards the lawsuit's validity.
The judge specifically questioned why the House GOP lawmakers waited until so close to the 2024 election to seek a court order that would segregate overseas ballots for additional verification, especially considering that the existing procedures have been in place for years. The lawsuit, brought by representatives Mike Kelly and Scott Perry, alleges that the current processing methods for applications from overseas citizens in Pennsylvania pose a risk of unverified votes being counted.
