Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has thrown his support behind the state's high court after a ruling that faulty mail-in ballots cannot be counted during a contentious recount, resulting in a victory for Republican Party officials.
The state Supreme Court upheld its previous decision in a 4–3 ruling on Monday, stating that counties are not permitted to count incorrectly dated or undated ballots. The ruling specifically called out the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, instructing them to comply with the court's prior rulings regarding mail-in and absentee ballots.
