Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballots At Risk Due To Date Requirement

Thousands of Pennsylvania voters are at risk of having their mail-in ballots invalidated due to a recent state Supreme Court ruling. The ruling mandates that ballots must have an accurate date written on the exterior envelope to be considered valid.

Based on data from previous elections, it is estimated that over 10,000 ballots could be impacted by this requirement. This significant number of potentially disqualified ballots has raised concerns about the potential impact on the outcome of the presidential race in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is considered a crucial swing state in the presidential election, with its 20 electoral votes being the largest prize among the seven swing states. The outcome of the election in Pennsylvania could have a significant influence on the overall result of the presidential race.

The possibility of thousands of ballots being thrown out due to a technicality has heightened the importance of ensuring that voters are aware of the specific requirements for mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania. Voters are urged to carefully follow all instructions provided to them to avoid any issues that could lead to their ballots being invalidated.

This development underscores the importance of every vote in the upcoming election and highlights the potential impact that seemingly minor details can have on the electoral process. As the election draws near, both voters and election officials are working diligently to ensure that every vote is counted and that the integrity of the electoral process is maintained.
