Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito ordered a pause for counting undated Pennsylvania ballots from a local race in 2021. The pause comes despite the fact legal teams for Republican Senate candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick are currently battling over similar issues in a PA Senate primary recount in court.
The Daily Wire reports:
Alito, who is in charge of emergency requests for Pennsylvania, issued an administrative stay for the counting of certain ballots in a judge’s race from 2021, according to The Washington Post. The Supreme Court is weighing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s ruling that undated ballots received on time ought to be counted. This could impact the counting of ballots for the PA senate primary.
“The state’s requirement is that mail-ballot voters ‘fill out, date and sign’ a form declaration on the outer envelope used to return ballots,” the Post explained. “But the federal judges said not counting the votes of those who did not provide a date violated federal civil rights law because the requirement was immaterial to the voters’ qualifications. There are no indications of fraud, the ballots were received by the state’s deadline and election officials noted they would have counted ballots with the wrong date but not those with no dates at all, the judges said.”
While the McCormick campaign supports the counting of undated ballots, the Oz campaign — with the backing of the Republican National Committee (RNC) — argues that the ballots should remain uncounted. Indeed, the Oz campaign has claimed that McCormick is “following the Democrats’ playbook” and eroding voters’ confidence in the election.
Oz called himself the “presumptive Republican nominee” at the end of last week.
McCormick’s lawsuit asserted that the county election boards are “disenfranchising” voters who did not date their ballots. The suit, therefore, demands that the boards count ballots “that were returned on time but that lack a handwritten date on the exterior mailing envelope.”
Oz or McCormick will face Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in November.

IF You are too stupid to follow the rule for an election You should not be voting.
They are frauding elections again. If this continues all our elections are up to fraud. Stop allowing late or not signed or not dated ballots to count. Rules to prevent fraud is not voter suppression.
They are not talking about unsigned or late ballots here. They are saying that a ballot received on time and has the envelope signed but the date wrong can be counted but not one that is signed, received on time and that someone forgot to put the date on the outer envelope. That doesn’t make sense. The person signed it and their name can be checked against the voter rolls for their precinct. The date on the front of the envelope is immaterial as the voter can still be verified.
Like Stalin once said and was widely quoted: ‘It matters not how the people vote, the guy who COUNTS the votes matters.’ Or words to that effect. You see, whoever designs the vote can assign a plethora of little rules to define which votes count and which don’t. But then the one who counts the votes can assess the outcome and decide which of the rules he wishes to enforce to sway the outcome. Bet you a nickel!
After reading your article, it reminded me of some things about gate io that I studied before. The content is similar to yours, but your thinking is very special, which gave me a different idea. Thank you. But I still have some questions I want to ask you, I will always pay attention. Thanks.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
