Supreme Court makes quick decision about Pennsylvania voting just before election
Supreme Court rejected Republican attempt to block Pennsylvaniaʼs voting fix-it rule. State can now let voters fix their wrongly-submitted mail ballots during next weeks election
The top US court made a quick-fire decision about Pennsylvaniaʼs voting rules last friday (just before next weeks presidential election). Supreme Court Justices took a no-nonsense stand – giving a thumbs-up to let voters fix their mail-ballot mistakes
In this fast-tracked case‚ the Republican National Committee and state GOP leaders tried to stop a rule that helps voters who dont use security envelopes right; their last-minute try didnt work. The courtʼs choice was crystal clear: every single justice agreed to keep Pennsylvaniaʼs fix-it option going
The stateʼs high-stakes decision means voters can now submit provisional ballots if they mess up their mail-in votes (which happens when people forget those special security envelopes). This whole thing matters big-time because Pennsylvania is a super-important swing state – where every single vote could make a difference in next weeks election
