"PA Appeals Courts Set Precedent for Mail-In Ballot Dating Requirements"
A Pennsylvania federal appeals court has ruled that mail-in ballots without accurate handwritten dates on the envelopes are not valid, overturning a lower court's decision. The ruling, impacting the upcoming elections in the battleground state, requires voters to write the date on their envelopes as mandated by state law. Republicans welcome the decision as a victory for election integrity, while critics argue that thousands of eligible voters could lose their votes over a paperwork error. The issue of mail-in voting continues to be a contentious topic, with former President Donald Trump and others raising concerns about election integrity.
