Republicans have made an emergency request to the U.S. Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, seeking an order that could potentially lead to the exclusion of thousands of votes in the upcoming election in the crucial battleground state. The request comes just over a week before the election and revolves around a dispute concerning provisional ballots cast by Pennsylvania voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected due to technical issues as per state law.
The state's high court recently ruled 4-3 that election officials must count provisional ballots from voters whose mail-in ballots were invalidated because they lacked mandatory secrecy envelopes. This decision has prompted the Republicans to seek intervention from the Supreme Court.
