Federal Judge Orders Counting of Undated and Incorrectly Dated Mail-In Ballots in Pennsylvania
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that undated mail-in ballots that are received on time should be counted, stating that a state law rejecting such votes violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This ruling is seen as a victory for voting rights groups and has national implications as Republicans and conservative advocacy groups continue to push for stricter voting laws. The decision is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court, where the court's conservative members have previously supported the state law requiring voters to date their ballots.
