RNC asks Supreme Court to take up Pennsylvania mail ballot fight

he Republican National Committee (RNC) petitioned the Supreme Court on Wednesday to reverse a ruling that requires Pennsylvania to count undated and misdated mail-in ballots, saying its logic transforms the courts into “weapons of political warfare.”

The technical requirements for Pennsylvania mail ballots have been the subject of extensive litigation ever since the state passed universal mail voting in 2019.

It’s a battle only heightened by the Keystone State’s outsized role as a swing state in presidential contests. Disputed mail ballots in Pennsylvania have totaled thousands in recent elections.

The RNC’s petition urges the justices to review an appeals ruling from last August, which found the state’s instruction to not count ballots that lack a proper date on the outer return envelope imposes an unconstitutional burden on Pennsylvanians’ right to vote.
